The person behind the viral GTA 6 gameplay “leak” video has admitted it was created using generative AI, amid a growing backlash from fans. IGN had reported on X / Twitter posts made by the Zap Actu GTA6 account, which included “leaked” gameplay clips of GTA 6 while pointing to a Discord.

But there were many other similar clips, also with millions of impressions, from the same account, and based on the replies, a number of people believed they featured genuine leaked gameplay footage.
