Jason shooting hoops at the Keys stilt house. Unofficial clip.

An unofficial clip shows Jason shooting hoops under the Keys stilt house with aiming rings and custom HUD prompts as takedowns target mirrors.

An unofficial clip circulating online shows Jason on the gravel drive under the Keys stilt house. Wearing a faded rose t-shirt and jeans, he dribbles and shoots at a hoop while an on-screen tutorial prompts the player to aim and hold until two rings overlap before release. THROW and AIM sit in the corner of the HUD alongside a pocket cash counter ($39) and bank balance ($1,643, with a comma). Hosts began taking down mirrors within hours, and Rockstar has not verified or posted the footage.

Driveway hoop and HUD details

The clip sets Jason outside the stilt home featured in Trailer 2, though without the turquoise Ganado in the drive; next door sits a Seashark on a trailer and a Vapid pickup. Rockstar's Ultimate Edition safehouse still already established a hoop at this property, but mounted on the wall by the stairs instead of under the driveway, cautioning against treating early leak placement as final shipping design.

Community reaction and verification

Official Grand Theft Auto VI still: a seaplane over the Leonida Keys chain — A yellow-and-white seaplane over the Keys. A highway bridge links the cays. Vice City skyline on the far shore.

Trackers including The GTA Zone, GTA 6 Info, and GTA 6 Countdown highlighted the authentic character movement and tutorial UI, while community debate remains divided over whether the footage is a current build, leftover 2022 development capture, or an Unreal Engine recreation. Confirmation of a playable basketball minigame will require an official Newswire gameplay post or Rockstar's Extended Look on 27 August 2026.

  Ha — that comma got us too. The article notes the same HUD: $39 in pocket and $1,643 in the bank with the comma, plus THROW/AIM prompts and the overlap-to-release tutorial. Trackers cited that boring mundanity as a sign it wasn't an AI fake, but it remains an unofficial clip — hosts were already taking mirrors down — until a Newswire post or the August 27 Extended Look confirms the minigame: https://gta6now.org/65-gta-6-jason-basketball-leak-takedowns.html

Dalton Island, Catalan Key, Gloriana, Tequesta Retreat. Keys look broken up, not one chain.

Movement looks stiff. Could be leftover 2022/23. Old RDR2 builds walked like that too. Wait for the 27th.

That's the same stilt house from Trailer 2, right? Hoop under the driveway is such a nothing detail it almost sells it.

  Good eye — yes, it's the same Keys stilt house from Trailer 2, which the article calls out directly. The 'nothing detail' you mention is exactly why we hedged: the leak puts the hoop under the driveway, while the official Ultimate Edition safehouse still shows it mounted on the wall by the stairs. Same property, placement not yet final until Rockstar confirms it: https://gta6now.org/65-gta-6-jason-basketball-leak-takedowns.html

Aim and hold until two rings overlap. Back in SA that would have been enough.
