Spanish YouTuber Rubén Doblas Gundersen, better known as El Rubius, said after a private Rockstar North preview that Grand Theft Auto 6 includes uncensored full-body nudity, including a male pedestrian whose anatomy moved with each step on a crowded street.
“Yes, there is full nudity in this game, it is crazy,”
he said in coverage of the session.
“The guy we ran into on the street had everything hanging and it moved in a realistic way from one side to the other. You will wonder why I paid attention to that, but believe me, it was impossible not to notice.”
Doblas, 36, was born in Mijas, Spain, and built elrubiusOMG into one of the largest Spanish-language gaming channels, with more than 40 million subscribers. He visited Rockstar North in Edinburgh in July 2026 as part of a small creator group that also included TGG, Brazil’s Davy Jones, and Italy’s Mike ShowSha, per GTA Boom’s coverage of the creator preview session.
The session was hands-off. He did not hold a controller. He sat with Rob Nelson, co-director of Rockstar North, and directed what the player did during about two hours of gameplay. He later said the build he saw ran at 30 frames per second and that Nelson would not commit to 60 fps on current consoles.
He posted the recap on August 27, the same day Rockstar released its official Extended Look — a 26-minute montage that debuted on Netflix before moving to YouTube and Rockstar’s own newswire. His clip showed Jason and Lucia on a motorcycle toward the beach when the naked NPC appeared and, he said, offered a side mission whose reward he would not spoil.
The street encounter sits alongside the GNX radio station Rockstar has already confirmed for GTA 6 as another piece of what the studio has chosen to put on screen, a thread that runs from promotional partnerships all the way to in-engine pedestrian behavior.
The street encounter is a different scene from the clip circulating as “nudist_town.mp4.” On August 24 an account using the name Cyberleek posted leaked footage of Jason walking a night-time resort in Port Gellhorn, a Leonida location with a pool, hot tubs, and dozens of fully unclothed male and female NPCs of mixed body types and ages.
In that video the player uses binoculars on the crowd. Some NPCs ignore him. Others object. One woman charges him. The sequence ends with a tackle into the pool and a shootout as bystanders run or drop. Outlets that reviewed the file, including GameSpot and PC Gamer, described full-frontal anatomy on screen and noted they would not embed the file. The pattern echoes the recent streamer-hack leaks of private content, where creators’ personal material surfaced against their consent and only adjacent outlets would show thumbnails of the affected accounts.
Cyberleek framed the drops as protest against a digital-first launch and attached crypto polls plus a demand that fans appear outside Rockstar or Take-Two offices dressed as leeks and holding discs. Take-Two has used subpoenas to hunt the source, the same period that saw Take-Two’s AI-team layoffs during GTA development reshape the company’s internal staffing around the title. Rockstar called the week of leaks heartbreaking. A former technical director argued most players will ignore the footage compared with the old Hot Coffee scandal.
Doblas and the other invited creators sat through the July session under Rockstar’s standard preview conditions. They agreed to disclose only what the studio approved, with the rest embargoed until Rockstar’s own Extended Look went public. Once it did, Doblas framed his segment as a tour of the Leonida strip rather than a critique. He said the cycling NPCs, store owners, and beach vendors all felt like Rockstar’s usual detail work. The full-nudity pedestrian, he added, was the moment his livestream chat stopped typing and just watched.
The other creators who joined Doblas in Edinburgh have built their own followings in their home languages. TGG covers Rockstar and GTA Online in Spanish with a long-running series on stunt jumps and money glitches. Davy Jones, a Brazilian creator under the Flow Games network, has built a YouTube audience around Portuguese-language GTA VI speculation. Mike ShowSha, who plays in Italian, has spent the past year covering the Rockstar leaks as a beat. None of them have posted their own footage from the July preview. Their absence from the recap cycle is consistent with the embargo they accepted, and with the way Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian gaming YouTube has handled the leak week — by pointing back to Rockstar’s own clip rather than to Cyberleek’s file.
The legal posture has hardened since the subpoenas. Take-Two has used the same playbook it ran during the 2021 Grand Theft Auto Trilogy leak, when the company traced a tester account back to a forum poster and won a settlement. Courts have generally treated pre-release game files as trade secrets, even when the leak is framed as protest or satire. Cyberleek’s demand that fans appear outside Take-Two offices in leek costumes is, legally, beside the point. The crypto polls attached to the drops add a money trail that makes the subpoena route easier, not harder.
The Portuguese and Brazilian gaming press covered Davy Jones’s invitation to the preview as a national milestone. Flow Games ran a ten-minute segment the same evening, framed around how a Brazilian creator ended up in a Rockstar North embargo room. Spanish outlets focused on El Rubius’s recap and on whether his characterization of the street scene would overshadow the rest of the preview. The Italian coverage, which has been the thinnest of the three language clusters so far, has centered on Mike ShowSha’s earlier reporting on the Cyberleek files rather than on the July preview itself.
Rockstar has not commented on Doblas’s specific framing of the street scene. The studio’s own Extended Look includes a motorcycle sequence with Jason and Lucia but does not show the full-nudity pedestrian Doblas described. The discrepancy between what the preview attendees saw and what Rockstar published is normal for a hands-off session — the studio controls the public cut, while the invited creators describe what they saw on their own channels within the agreed boundaries. Some of those boundaries, including details of the side mission Doblas mentioned, remain under embargo.
The 30 fps performance note landed harder on streaming than the nudity detail did. Spanish-language creators spent the rest of the week debating whether Rockstar would commit to a 60 fps mode before launch, with most leaning on a quote from Rob Nelson that did not actually rule out a performance mode but did not promise one either. The same framing showed up in Brazilian and Italian coverage. Console players in those markets have watched the GTA Online community migrate to PC and back over the past decade, and a 30 fps lock at launch would accelerate that drift if it holds.
The leak week has reshaped the conversation more than the preview itself. Cyberleek’s files circulated across X, Telegram, and Discord within hours of the first upload. Take-Two’s subpoenas to Microsoft and Discord, reported on August 26, sent a chill through the leaker communities that had organized around the file. By the time El Rubius posted his recap on August 27, the street-pedestrian moment was already competing for attention with the leaked Port Gellhorn clip and the subpoena news.
The Spanish-language gaming press has handled the overlap by treating the preview and the leak as separate stories that share a release week. Brazilian outlets have done the same, with the additional thread of celebrating a Brazilian creator’s presence at Rockstar North. The Italian press, which has covered Mike ShowSha’s reporting closely, has framed the leak as the main story and the preview as a side note.
For Hypefresh readers who came in through the creator-economy angle, the Adin Ross server pitch sits in the same week as a different kind of creator opportunity: Adin Ross’s planned GTA 6 roleplay server, which would let streamers earn real money from in-game activity. Ross’s plan has its own legal questions, but the throughline to El Rubius’s preview is that both stories treat GTA 6 as a creator economy before it is a finished game.
The pattern across the Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian creator clusters is the same. Each language has at least one major gaming YouTuber who received an embargoed Rockstar North invitation, and each has handled the leak week with the same restraint: pointing back to Rockstar’s own clip, refusing to embed Cyberleek’s file, and treating the preview as a tour rather than a critique. The Hot Coffee comparison that the former technical director raised is the closest historical parallel, and even that came from within Rockstar rather than from a leak.
Doblas has not posted since the August 27 recap. His channel’s next scheduled content is a Spanish-language breakdown of the Extended Look, set for the same week that Rockstar has historically published its post-preview creator interviews. Whether the rest of the preview surfaces publicly depends on how Rockstar chooses to roll out the embargoed details and on whether Take-Two’s subpoenas produce a source before then.
