GTA 6 fans grab their spare pitchforks and torches as AI "leak" gets out of hand, turning 8 million views into an angry mob: "I wouldn't have thought it would go this far"

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.

"I'm sorry if I raised false hopes for people; I admit I didn't think things through properly," Zap Actu GTA6 tells one critic. "Originally, I just wanted to create some kind of hype and see if people would catch on that it was AI. I wouldn't have thought it would go this far. Sorry to the people I disappointed."

"For me it was more to amuse the community in reality, but oh well, it's not working," they say in another reply. "I'm not gonna force something that people don't appreciate."

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.

Rockstar co-founder Dan Houser says GTA is so successful because of its "sense of freedom," and because it "smashed together" shooting, driving, and simulation genres in a way games hadn't done before.
