On October 19, 2026, fraudulent websites were promoting purported leaked copies, beta access, and early downloads of GTA 6 in exchange for cryptocurrency or as much as $1,000 ahead of the game’s scheduled November 19, 2026 launch. Security firm Kaspersky found multiple such pages, including CyberLeek, which advertised a full copy for $1,000 and a 24-hour trial for $100 and sought nonrefundable crypto donations. Other pages imitated reservation and PlayStation Store experiences to collect emails, payment details, and personal information, with Brazilian users charged 449.9 reais. CBS News Miami warned that social media ads promising early access were spreading malware that steals passwords and money.
