The clips spread like wildfire on the likes of YouTube and Twitter with the clips showing gunplay, voiced conversations and robberies.
The clips show a female protagonist, in what would be a first in the GTA franchise and was previously wildly rumoured to occur in GTA 6.
Teapotuberhacker claims the videos were downloaded directly from Rockstar's internal Slack groups, however arguments regarding the legitimacy of the footage has been at the forefront.
Some have questioned the assets in use (pointing to reuse of GTA 5 elements), while others have pointed to the voiced dialogue and debug elements as proof that this is legitimate.
