The recent Grand Theft Auto 6 leak might be fake - here's why

Rockstar Games and Take-Two Interactive do not mess around when it comes to their Non-Disclosure Agreements with the actors they work with. The strict NDA prevents anyone involved in any game from even teasing at fans over certain details without permission.

Not to mention, a trusted source revealed that Zampella isn't playing Jason but he didn't reveal if Zampella is involved in GTA 6 or not.

Ultimately, given how forward Zampella has been with his GTA 6 teases, it's unlikely he's part of the game. Otherwise, he'd have gotten himself in serious trouble already.

However, even if this leak might be fake and/or an elaborate troll job, one piece of news about GTA 6 that you might have heard of in recent weeks is likely true.

In a recent press release alongside its latest yearly earnings report, Take-Two Interactive confirmed its projections for the next fiscal year, which includes a whopping nearly $3 billion jump in revenue.

Companies just don't expect a massive influx in cash unless a lot of positive things or a really big thing is headed their way. Most signs point to this being a hint that GTA 6 is coming out in the next fiscal year, which lasts from April 2024 through March 2025.

Keep in mind that GTA 5 earned three billion in three days in 2013, beating Activision Blizzard's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 by a week to reach that figure and Hogwarts Legacy by over a month. It stands to reason that GTA 6 is expected to earn as much in as little time if not more, which explains the sudden jump in the company's expected revenue. But, of course, we could be wrong. Take-Two could be expecting something else, like a combination of the remakes of Max Payne 1 and 2, its in-development Middle-Earth title, and a bunch of other games that are included in its release pipeline through 2025.

BUT, GTA 6 is GTA 6, and $3 billion is a lot of money unless we're talking about the sequel to the second-best-selling game of all time and what's reportedly the most expensive video game ever made, in which case, it all makes sense.

So, while GTA 6 is expected to come out next year, presumably with a DLC and a potential reveal soon, we shouldn't be too quick to jump to conclusions and believe everything we see on the internet without double-checking.
