Fake GTA 6 ads are tricking players to \u201cdownload\u201d the game now Take-Two InteractiveGrand Theft Auto fans have encountered fake ads for GTA 6 while browsing the internet; suffice it to say, they\u2019ve done nothing but get peoples\u2019 hopes up. After years of rumors and speculation, Rockstar Games finally revealed that active development on the next Grand Theft Auto entry had begun. The studio announced the news earlier this year, though nothing else about the eagerly-anticipated project has surfaced in the months since then. Of course, the rumors and speculation have yet to subside. A recent report out of Bloomberg claims GTA 6 will include a female protagonist, for example. Grand Theft Auto faithful may soon find themselves inundated with another type of unofficial GTA 6 content. Beware: Fake GTA 6 ads making the rounds online While surfing the web, Redditor Ya_Boi_uh_SkinnyPeni encountered an advertisement for GTA 6, one inviting users to visit a website and \u201cPlay GTA VI Free.\u201d The ad in question even features a fake GTA 6 logo, with art inside of the roman numerals modeled after a skyline. \u201cDon\u2019t do that. Don\u2019t give me hope,\u201d wrote Reddit user nguyenbh295. Others like ZinfiniteGuy took the bit a step further, joking that they installed the game and could confirm Los Santos as the locale and GTA 5\u2019s Lester Crest as the protagonist. This isn\u2019t the first time that fake GTA 6 ads have circulated online. It\u2019s unlikely to be the last, either. Earlier this year, phony advertisements for the game were popping up on YouTube videos. It seems franchise publisher Take-Two Interactive nipped them in the bud pretty quickly, so here\u2019s to hoping the same fate befalls this scam, as well. According to industry insiders such as Tom Henderson and Bloomberg\u2019s Jason Schreier, the next GTA installment may not hit store shelves until 2025. It\u2019ll be quite some time before Rockstar\u2019s ready to start rolling out its ad campaign.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
