A known GTA 6 leaker has deactivated their Twitter account

While we've still got quite a ways to go before then and the insider could've still proven themselves correct, eagle-eyed observers noticed that they'd already deactivated their account on Twitter.

Basically, what most likely happened here is that the internet finally caught up to their antics and they cut their losses. Many had pointed out that they'd had older accounts on Twitter that made similarly audacious claims in the past, such as saying that Rockstar would release the trailer for GTA 6 last November, which obviously didn't happen.

Now that they're about to get caught lying again, they probably thought it would be best to just deactivate their social media accounts.

Unfortunately, someone must have not told them that Twitter (or X, if you want to call it that) will say if it suspended an account (such as if Rockstar or Take-Two asked their account to be taken down) or if a user deleted it themselves. In this particular case, Chris Marxx deactivated their Twitter account by their own volition, so they can't fake telling everyone that Rockstar or Take-Two DMCA'd their content.

It's a shame that it all came down to this. If the leaker was doing it for clout, their "guess" about an October 26 reveal is not as far out as the other theories and insider info we've heard. Besides, if their prediction didn't come true, they could've spun it and said that Rockstar changed their plans last minute.

After all, right around the same time they tweeted about the potential reveal, Rockstar also tweeted the image that was an obvious nod to Grand Theft Auto 6, which some are now saying is hinting at an even more imminent reveal of Grand Theft Auto 6.

So, whatever happened, there were still going to be people who would've believed whatever they were saying - this is how the internet works.

If we're being honest, you can't blame people for believing he's legit. The dearth of information regarding GTA 6 means that fans have nowhere to go but such individuals for details about the upcoming game.

For what it's worth, the "only" believable leak outside of what happened last year is the claims made by Tom Henderson and Jason Schreier, which said that GTA 6 will be released by late 2024 or early 2025. The rest are purely conjecture. The insiders' earlier claims also lines up with Take-Two Interactive's announcement earlier this year that it expects to make around $8 billion in FY2025, which is a period from April 2024 through March 2025.

Ultimately, as much as Chris Marxx might have lied on Twitter, you've got to admit, it was fun while it lasted.

Given how GTA 6 leaks have become par for the course for the internet when it's not busy criticizing the next big game, we're expecting yet another Chris Marxx to pop up anytime soon.
