The Grand Theft Auto series is no stranger to rumors and uncorroborated leaks that tend to surface online occasionally, after all, it's one of the most popular games of all time. Now, amidst the hype for the next installment in the series, fans have come across fake ads that mislead players into downloading Grand Theft Auto 6.
Earlier this year, Rockstar Games officially acknowledged the development of the much-anticipated sequel, Grand Theft Auto 6. The studio is known for its discretion concerning upcoming games. However, the official acknowledgement created much hype and curiosity among fans, which has in turn lead to any associated GTA 6 rumors prospering off the worked-up fanbase.
A few months ago, fake GTA 6 ads started appearing on Youtube. The ad was created by compiling footage from games such as Need for Speed, Saints Row, and GTA 5. While not evident at first, it was clear the purpose of the ad was to collect data from users.
Fast forward a few months, and the latest fake features another online ad. First reported by a Redditor Ya_Boi_uh_SkinnyPeni, the fake online ad invites users to visit a website and play GTA 6 for free.
The ad also features a fake GTA 6 logo with a city skyline in the background, which is in line with rumors of the game taking place in Miami, that may fool an average person.
