They all typically show some male or female figure walking through Leonida, a fictional state based on Florida. The <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/zapactugta6\/status\/1990919582278709450\" data-target=\"true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">first video<\/a> only generated 217 likes and 26,000 views, but subsequent ones gained more traction as Zap Actu GTA6 posted more. In <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/zapactugta6\/status\/1991284160640827635\" data-target=\"true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">a video posted on November 19<\/a> that garnered 6,100 likes and 1.8 million views, Zap Actu GTA6 claimed these were from &#8220;several anonymous accounts&#8221; who filmed the clips &#8220;from inside Rockstar\u2019s studios.&#8221; Another one <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/zapactugta6\/status\/1991957817180205341\" data-target=\"true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">posted on November 21<\/a> purported that a character has &#8220;facial features strongly resembling those of Leonardo DiCaprio.&#8221; Despite claiming there&#8217;s &#8220;absolutely no official confirmation&#8221; on anything being posted, Zap Actu GTA6 still noted that the leaks are real and serious.<\/p>\n<p>That &#8220;leak&#8221; that really blew up was posted on November 25. Zap Actu GTA6 said the video they shared &#8220;surfaced on TikTok before being taken down.&#8221; It allegedly showed a gameplay moment of someone controlling co-protagonist Lucia as she walked along what appeared to be a beach with a &#8220;dynamic weather system&#8221; that produced heavy clouds and rain showers. The video went viral, getting 34,000 likes and 8.1 million views, and it wasn&#8217;t the only one that got this much attention online.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\ud83d\udea8\ud83d\udea8 GTA 6 ALERT \u2013 EXTREMELY SERIOUS SITUATION \ud83d\udea8\ud83d\udea8<br \/>A new and highly disturbing leak has just surfaced on TikTok before being taken down only minutes later \u2014 but the damage is already done.

In a November 26 post, they said that they really had &#8220;no real leaked information about GTA 6.&#8221; Everything they posted on their account was AI-generated&#8211;exactly what many of the community notes under the posts claimed&#8211;saying they&#8217;re still sharing the fake GTA 6 trailer &#8220;for fun.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Zap Actu GTA6&#8217;s M.O., according to their X post, was to prove just how &#8220;incredibly easy&#8221; it is to fool people into believing anything with fake, AI-generated &#8220;leaks.&#8221; According to their metrics, 50% &#8220;believed&#8221; the leaks, while the other 50% &#8220;clearly spotted&#8221; the AI in use.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\ud83d\udea8 GTA 6 \u2013 IT\u2019S TIME TO COME CLEAN \ud83d\udea8<br \/>Alright, enough \ud83d\ude05 I trolled you.<br \/>I have NO real leaked information about GTA 6.

It&#8217;s worth noting, though, that Zap Actu GTA6 has less than 5,000 followers and isn&#8217;t followed by any official Rockstar Games or GTA news accounts at the time of this writing. How reliable their information is going forward after this admission is questionable at best.<\/p>\n<p>All of this comes after Rockstar Games&#8217; parent company, Take-Two Interactive, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gamespot.com\/articles\/gta-6-delayed-to-november-2026\/1100-6536012\/\" data-ref-id=\"1100-6536012\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">revealed on November 6 that the highly anticipated crime sim was delayed<\/a> from May 26, 2026 to November 19, 2026.
