Although Rockstar Games is yet to begin pre-orders for GTA 6, Redditor Gariban~ı Rum shared a picture on r/GTA claiming they found someone from Turkey allegedly selling a copy of GTA 6 for the PlayStation 2. The picture accompanying the post shows a disc case featuring the GTA 6 cover art with the PlayStation 2 branding on top.
Seeing this, redditor DEMON-199 hilariously commented:
“In my country we have GTA 7, GTA 8, GTA 9, GTA 10, GTA 16 and all if them are modded GTA Vice City that has 100% completion / new car models / new outfit for Tommy / different hud and turbo in cars and I remember a version in which Tommy can walk on water lol but all of them are for pc”
One user named blenderbender44 (u/blenderbender44) pointed out that the PS2 version of GTA 6 has "coming 2025" written on it. To this, Redditor Johno69R (u/Johno69R) hilariously replied that it was a pre-order box.
Soon, other Redditors poured in with their humorous reactions to the post.
The "before GTA 6" reactions also arrived at the right moment.
Interestingly, some players shared stories of similar cases before the release of Grand Theft Auto 4 where scammers were caught selling modded versions of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
Meanwhile, one Turkish Redditor even joked that they had already completed the game.
Readers are advised not to fall for these scams as Rockstar hasn’t released the official version of the game yet.
