There are a few rumours doing the rounds about GTA 6 and GTA Online. But you should not trust the source – as an established insider reveals.
GTA 6 will be a long time coming. But long before the official announcement by Rockstar, the rumour machine was already running at full speed. And so one alleged leak follows the next, each of which wants to reveal something about the future of Grand Theft Auto 6.
Warning of fake leaks: It’s obvious that any unconfirmed information should be taken with a grain of salt. But now an established insider feels compelled to explicitly warn against an alleged leaker: What this source shares about GTA 6 or GTA Online corresponds to anything but the truth.
Insider contradicts alleged leaker
What happened? In the last few weeks, Twitter user Matheusvictorbr kept sharing alleged info about GTA 6 and also the future of GTA Online. For example, that the story of the next Grand Theft Auto revolves around a brother and sister, that the prologue takes place in a Brazilian setting and that there will be destructible map elements.
Matheusvictorbr is said to be a hotly debated shot of a house in GTA: San Andreas of the Definitive Edition actually a screenshot around GTA 6, for the future of GTA Online he also promises Liberty City as an extension of the map.
The problem with this is that the alleged information from Matheusvictorbr is virtually impossible to verify without insight into Rockstar’s internal development processes. Like so many other leaks or rumours about GTA 6 and co., similar reports are very well received by fans and the international press – we reported on the rumour about the map expansion for GTA Online, for example.
Insiders contradict leaks: Rockstar insider Yan2295, among others, has now spoken out on Twitter. According to him, the claims of Matheusvictorbr are nonsense that should not be paid attention to. The user Ben a.ka. videotech_ supports Yan2295’s statement.

Reliable Insiders: In fact, Yan2295 and Ben/videotech_, along with Tez2, are among the most trusted and credible Rockstar insiders who have been regularly hitting the mark for years with their predictions and leaks regarding Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption. So when they contradict an alleged leak on these topics, there may well be something to it.
So if you have come across any alleged info on GTA 6 or the like in the last few days, it’s best to check the source again. A piece of advice that never hurts when you’re on the Internet.
