Lucia, one of the main characters of Grand Theft Auto VI, is seen a promotional image. Very little genuine material of the upcoming video game has been released, but the internet is awash with fake footage and screenshots.

Overview

  • The X account Zap Actu GTA6 acknowledged that all shared videos were AI-generated and not real GTA 6 footage.
  • The most-viewed clip, reposted on November 25 after surfacing on TikTok, amassed roughly 8 million views within 24 hours.
  • Following the admission, the creator deleted the posts, rebranded the account as Actuzz MAG, and issued public apologies.
  • The fakes showed protagonist Lucia walking a waterfront in a Vice City–style setting with supposed dynamic weather, which misled many viewers.
  • Outlets and fact-checkers advised ignoring unverified 'leaks' and relying on official Rockstar updates, noting hype has intensified since the release shift to November 19, 2026.
