A new GTA 6 leak reveals an in- game store where players can buy cosmetic items like headphones and phone cases, hinting at deeper customization.

New leaked footage of Grand Theft Auto 6 gives players a rare glimpse into the in-game Game Store, revealing how cosmetic customization might work in the upcoming title. This detail matters because it suggests Rockstar Games is building a persistent inventory system for personal items that extends beyond standard vehicle modifications. Buyers interested in character personalization should note that these items appear to be purchasable goods rather than static rewards.

Leaked footage reveals virtual shop for character accessories

The leak comes from a user named CyberLeek and was shared on the r/GamingLeaksAndRumours subreddit. The footage shows the interior of a virtual retail space where players can browse and buy accessories. Rockstar Games has not officially confirmed these specific mechanics, and the source notes the clip may come from an older build of the game.

Players can purchase cosmetic items including headphones, earbuds, and phone cases within the store. The leaked visuals show that both headphones and earbuds feature multiple color options for customization. These items are distinct from the vehicles that define the series' open-world gameplay. The store interface appears to function as a direct shop for these personal effects.

It remains unclear whether the audio items allow players to listen to music while walking around the map. The leaked footage does not confirm if these items have functionality beyond visual customization. Currently, music is typically restricted to in-vehicle radio stations in the franchise. Rockstar has not addressed this potential feature in any official communications.

We looked at GTA 6 Leak Reveals Realistic Carjacking earlier while tracking Rockstar's development updates. The next major public look at the game is the GTA 6 Netflix Extended Look, which is scheduled for August 27. This event will likely provide more concrete details about gameplay features and store mechanics.

The leak highlights potential depth in character customization for the next major entry in the series. Players may soon manage a wardrobe and accessory inventory similar to other modern open-world games. The August 27 Netflix event will clarify whether these cosmetic features are confirmed for the final release.
