GTA 6 before release: fake leaks, “early access”, and other scams | Kaspersky official blog

Multiple fraudulent websites impersonating a hacker alias 'CyberLeek' claim to offer early or leaked versions of GTA VI, charging high prices in cryptocurrency for full game access, demos, or crowdfunding early access. These scams also include fake advertising opportunities and preorder schemes that collect personal data and payments, including targeting Brazilian users with fake PlayStation Store sites. Some scams require downloading unverified software purportedly for 'human verification,' likely to drive traffic to malicious sites or deliver malware. These scams exploit the high demand and anticipation for GTA VI's official release on November 19, 2026, but no legitimate leaks or early access exist. Users are strongly advised not to trust these offers or download any files from these sources.

Users who engage with these scam sites risk financial loss through fraudulent payments, theft of personal information including sensitive data, and potential malware infection from downloading untrusted software. These scams undermine user trust and may lead to compromised devices or accounts. There is no indication of direct compromise of Rockstar Games or GTA VI software itself, but the scams leverage the game's popularity to target gamers.

Users should avoid visiting or interacting with websites claiming to offer early or leaked versions of GTA VI, especially those demanding cryptocurrency payments or personal data. Do not download or run any software from untrusted sources claiming to provide game access or 'human verification.' Official game releases and preorders should only be obtained through legitimate and verified platforms. Security vendors advise caution and recommend ignoring such scam offers entirely.
