The September 2022 GTA 6 leaks were the first major source of information about the highly anticipated Rockstar Games title. Around 90 clips featuring developmental footage were leaked online, and the developer also confirmed them as authentic.

However, many seemingly fake leaks have appeared on social media since September 2022, with quite a few recently being uploaded by X user @JasonFromGTAsix. Here's an image from the latest thread of such leaks made by this individual.

Interestingly, these images do look comparable to the visual effects and lighting seen in the first GTA 6 trailer and can easily be mistaken as genuine screenshots. However, it should be noted that none of these "leaks" have been confirmed as real by Rockstar Games and all seem AI-generated.

Fans expect official GTA 6 screenshots to be revealed by Rockstar Games in the coming days.

This is mainly because of a new GTA 6 page on Rockstar's official website with a "Screens" section being momentarily accessible to the public just a couple of days ago. Additionally, there have been reports of Rockstar Games updating their API.

Take-Two Interactive also has an earnings call planned for May 16, 2024, and since the first GTA 6 trailer was announced just ahead of their November 2023 earnings call, there are expectations for more information related to the sequel dropping this time around the event as well.

That being said, no official confirmation about the same has arrived yet. Therefore, readers should take such speculations or any reported GTA 6 leaks and rumors with a grain of salt and wait for announcements from Rockstar Games or their parent company, Take-Two Interactive.
