Two off-screen videos that claim to showGrand Theft Auto 6’smap have gone viral on TikTok ahead of the game’s imminent reveal on December 5 - and the aftermath has left the community bewildered.
GTA 6 “leaks" are as common as oxygen on the internet, but finding real ones is a rarer sight. The two brief clips circulating online are slightly different, however, sinceRockstar Gameshas seemingly been striking them off the internet for the past day. Those who prefer to watch the incoming trailer with fresh eyes should take care online asrepostsare also making the rounds (though the seven seconds of footage shouldn’t spoil your appetite too much.)
The TikTok video case took a stranger turn when a Reddit post popped up with the same handle as the original leaks. “IAMA TikToker, I made it via Unreal Engine 5 for some attention,” the now-deletedthreadreads. The Redditor’s account was only created shortly after the TikTok leaks, already raising some eyebrows, but the claims led to some mild communityfrenzyas players went back and forth on the post’s legitimacy.
Regardless, if a shaky cam recording showing mere seconds of the map can gain this much traction, the full reveal next Tuesday should be enormous. Our slim clip diet can be replaced with a full, juicy trailer when Rockstar debuts the game at 9AM ET / 6AM PT / 2PM GMT.
For now,fans think Rockstar’s teaser image points to a Miami-inspired Vice City setting.
