Old fake leak shared by the **Zap Actu GTA 6** account.Although it [is](https://www.reddit.com/r/GTA6unmoderated/comments/1s0um00/new_gta6_leak_americas_20230213_114719/) not [the primary source](https://www.reddit.com/r/GTA6unmoderated/comments/1s0um00/new_gta6_leak_americas_20230213_114719/) , the profile that made the video go viral on **X** (formerly **Twitter**) [is the Zap Actu GTA6 account, the same one that Portal Viciados recently listed in a special report on profiles that spread misinformation](https://viciados.net/gta-6-maiores-perfis-fake-news-grand-theft-auto-vi/) . In the past, this account made **AI**-generated clips go viral and, upon being exposed, justified the hoax to [IGN](https://pt.ign.com/grand-theft-auto-vi/152679/news/GTA-6-Falso-leak-gameplay-gerado-por-IA-torna-se-viral-engana-milh%C3%B5es) as a “social experiment.” Similarly, to avoid driving engagement to fake accounts, we posted the video on our **X** account. **Check it out below:** > Suposta gameplay falsa de GTA 6 viraliza no X! > Mais detalhes no Portal Viciados. [pic.twitter.com/QFazyB59W5](https://t.co/QFazyB59W5) > > — Portal Viciados (@PortalViciados) [March 22, 2026](https://twitter.com/PortalViciados/status/2035811893735018525?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) Today, with **X**’s monetization system, verified accounts receive payments based on the volume of impressions. This creates a massive financial incentive for the production of high-quality fakes disguised as leaks. ## Evidence in the video: Why is it fake? Upon analyzing the video file, we found technical inconsistencies that distinguish the material from an actual **Rockstar Games** title running on the **RAGE Engine**. **The creator clearly tried to emulate the visual style of the 2022 leaks, but made some mistakes:** - **The debug bar:** In authentic **GTA 6** leaks, the black bar at the bottom displayed crucial graphics engine data and internal build numbers. [In this video,](https://www.reddit.com/r/GTA6unmoderated/comments/1s0um00/new_gta6_leak_americas_20230213_114719/) the bar appears, but it contains far less information. - **Limited camera:** The scenery is beautiful, but it looks like a small diorama. The camera floats in a very restricted space around the blue house, avoiding showing the horizon, distant streets, or traffic behavior. This is typical of demos made in the Unreal Engine. - **Generic system warnings:** The alert in the top-left corner about "low video memory" and the green text reading "**VRAM over by 1.2G**" look like graphic elements pasted over the video during editing. - **Static animations:** The swaying palm leaves have looping movements reminiscent of standard assets from animation libraries. - **Far Cry:** Some fans have noted that this video was likely created using the **Far Cry 5 Editor**, employing editing techniques and post-processing to make it resemble **GTA 6**. For **Portal Viciados**, this video is nothing more than a fake recreation. The author used a graphics engine to assemble a scene with the "vibe" of **Vice City**, added interface filters mimicking the original leaks, and posted it online to profit from views. **Check out:**[GTA 6 | Journalist travels to India to follow up on a tip from a Rockstar Games insider](https://viciados.net/gta-6-jornalista-india-aposta-fonte-rockstar-games/) Do you like **Portal Viciados**?
