Fans were highly hopeful for some official news related to GTA 6 at the start of this month. Rockstar Games has a history of revealing their titles in the month of October. And netizens were hoping they would do the same for the latest Grand Theft Auto entry. This curiosity of fans also gave rise to tons of leaks and rumors spreading like wildfire on the internet.
Unfortunately, none of them have lasted more than a few days before getting debunked. One recent leak did come close to satiating the fans as it arrived from the official Rockstar Games website. However, this leak too has been debunked, leading to dismay among fans.

Recently, a leak pertaining to GTA 6 and Rockstar Games’ official site has been making waves on the internet. Many netizens claimed Rockstar Games has updated their site with a hidden trailer for the game, which they speculated will be released later. Further, searching the term ‘Rockstar Games video’ showcased the claims made earlier.
Rockstar updating the videos section of their website apparently means nothing and happens all the time.

However, clicking on the recently updated link did not produce any substantial results. Looking at the growing chaos among the fans, experts in web development came forward to debunk the leaks. An industry insider by the name of Spider-Vice came forward with proof that the recent GTA 6 theory means nothing more than Rockstar Games and Google’s regular updates.

Spider-Vice claimed Google’s crawler Googlebot (which they use to build search queries) might have checked the page and found an update due to some changes made by Rockstar devs. This prompted the crawler to update the search queries for the ‘last updated’ date. Further, Spider-Vice confirmed, “There are no new videos, no new site module updates.”
Fans are upset over another possible theory getting debunked
Following the reveal, many fans took to X (formerly Twitter) to share their views. And clearly nobody’s happy about this.
Why is it never real. Everytime a new leak or something happens. It's debunked in a few minutes. WHY CAN'T IT BE REAL, JUST ONCE

It’s been 10 years since GTA V and yet the devs haven’t given fans an official look at the game. So while the wait continues, another fan joined in to claim there will be no trailer for GTA 6 this month.
We never getting this trailer man😭

However, one netizen came forward to claim Rockstar Games has updated their YouTube too.
Yes, except this is also on youtube, which they normally do not update or replace

A fan has opted to wait and see what happens rather than wait for another theory.
Lets just wait and see what happens. It may mean nothing or it may mean something. Hopefully the latter. 🤞
