GTA 6 'release date leak' roasted by fans

GTA 6 'release date leak' roasted by fans

Some poor intern is definitely getting fired over this

Last week, one retailer accidentally leaked Grand Theft Auto VI’s release date… and by “accidentally” I mean they kind of unintentionally made it up.

Naturally, this news has displeased the GTA community.

Alright, let’s backtrack for a second. On January 29, a retailer by the name of X Uruguay revealed Grand Theft Auto VI’s release date - before Rockstar Games.

"Grand Theft Auto 6 heads to the Leonida Estate, home of the neon-lit streets of Vice City and beyond, in the most immersive and expansive evolution of the Grand Theft Auto series yet,” reads the GTA VI product description on X Uruguay, "Coming September 17th."

Since then, X Uruguay has piped up to offer some clarification on the matter.

“Like all fans, we are super excited and expectant for the release of GTA VI… It was not our intention to cause confusion and we want to clarify that we did not receive any official information from any of the brands regarding the game's release date,” they revealed in a post on the X Uruguay site.

“A new guy told us the release date of GTA was already on google (it was that of GTA V) and we told him OK then put it (it was more of an inside joke that escalated).”

RIP that new guy’s future career prospects.

Over on the r/GTA6 subreddit, those looking forward to the upcoming game were quick to make fun of the “news” (or lack thereof).

“Yes. Uruguay website has inside game knowledge to Rockstar Games release schedules,” replied user Scargut_.

“Sept 17 is on a Wednesday,” commented user YogurtclosetIcy4328, “If it was going to get released that day, we would have had trailer 2 already.”

Let this be a lesson to all of you - don’t believe any GTA VI-related leaks until Rockstar themselves corroborate them. I’m sure some info is incoming any day now, anyway.

Any day now… for sure…
