One GTA 6 "news" account is suddenly finding itself in enemy territory as Rockstar fans, its former compatriots, realize its exclusive game footage is actually AI. Though the Zap Actu GTA6 account has already removed its generated videos from Twitter – along with several other posts referencing them – following a report from IGN, those who have been duped are still too enraged to be satisfied.

The purported GTA 6 "leak" gained 8 million views in only a day, despite some fans warning each other that any video coming out of Zap Actu GTA6's account was worthless. Undeterred at first, Zap Actu GTA6 boasted that "the situation is escalating fast" and "MASSIVE LEAK IMMINENT." But as more people uncovered the truth, Zap Actu GTA6 discovered the unholy powers of a GTA player scorned.

And yet… The account owner has now rebranded as Actuzz MAG, telling IGN they were "sorry for the false hope." Nonetheless, they have posted more AI-generated news speculating on "GTA 6: A Snow-Covered Vice City for Christmas 2026? A Winter DLC Fans Are Already Dreaming Of." Let's call it a lesson half-learned.
