GTA 6 Bridge Leak Creator Admits It Was Fake

Earlier this March, the gaming community was briefly captivated by a purported GTA 6 leak, which was allegedly discovered on a mobile device after being hidden for years. While several prominent media outlets treated the footage as legitimate news, seasoned observers—ourselves included—remained skeptical. The video was quickly exposed as a clever hoax.

The individual behind the clip has now stepped forward, openly admitting to the fabrication. According to the creator, the goal was to craft a “leak” so convincing it could bypass initial scrutiny—an objective they largely achieved given the viral reaction.

The author detailed the production process, revealing that it took months to meticulously build 3D models based on real-world Miami landmarks. While there were early plans to include the protagonist, Jason, the idea was eventually scrapped because the character model lacked the necessary realism. The creator also noted that the specific location was chosen for its ambiguity, despite the bridge itself being modeled after a structure seen in the official trailer.
