A fake Grand Theft Auto 6 leak has recently received over 14 million views, possibly tricking many gamers. It’s been over a year since Rockstar unveiled the first Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer, and some players are essentially clinging to any possible leaks to discover more details about the most eagerly awaited title of 2025.
After years of rumors, GTA 6 was officially revealed on December 6, 2023, with a trailer. The reveal was so popular that the Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer received over 200 million views in the following months, and set a record for the best 24-hour debut of a non-music video on YouTube. Since then, however, Rockstar has been incredibly silent about the game, indicating that it’s still slated to release in 2025, but not revealing more gameplay or story elements.

With the upcoming Grand Theft Auto 6 featuring a return to the setting of Vice City, one series set in Miami feels like an obvious reference.
Now, a fake GTA 6 leak was shared by a user called luhaxel on social media, achieving over 14 million views in two days. The “leak” shows an image of one of the GTA 6 protagonists, Lucia, in a strip club dressed as one of the performers. However, when looking carefully at the image, it’s possible to see that it was made by AI when considering that one character has too many legs and arms, a classic telltale sign of AI. The detail is hard to see, however, and multiple gamers were seemingly tricked by the fake image.

The main reason why the fake leak became so popular is likely due to Rockstar’s silence about the upcoming game. Fans were theorizing that Rockstar would unveil GTA 6’s Trailer 2 on December 27, for example, which didn’t happen, enraging the fan base.
At the moment, the current theories point out the GTA 6 trailer coming out on January 7, tying it to the end of the Rockstar Holiday Sale. However, it’s essentially impossible to tell when the reveal will happen, as only the staff at Rockstar knows the answer and they may not be cryptically teasing a release date at all.
In any case, GTA 6 is the most eagerly awaited game of 2025, and if Rockstar does not delay it into 2026, the marketing campaign will likely have to pick up the pace soon. With an expected release date during Fall 2025, it’s possible that the title will be released between October and December. Time will tell whether the date for Trailer 2’s release will be January 7 or not, though.
Grand Theft Auto 6 is an open world crime game that takes fans back to the neon-soaked streets of Vice City.
