Then, on Friday, May 13th, GTA 6 was suddenly trending on the Twitter charts. The big reveal is supposed to take place on the same day. This was posted by the Twitter account “GTA 6 NEWS & LEAKS”, which has now made its profile private. The tweet probably contained a photo announcing a GTA 6 event for 4 p.m. German time. But the big reveal of GTA 6 didn’t materialize. Instead, yesterday Rockstar Games announced a special Max Payne 3 10th Anniversary Soundtrack.

Leaker receives death threats: Where the Twitter account GTA 6 NEWS & LEAKS got the information about “GTA 6 Reveal” is unknown. However, after the leak turned out to be false, the site and another insider are struggling. GTA 6 NEWS & LEAKS has set his account to private for unknown reasons. The insider BOCO also, but gives reasons for this:

This account will be banned for a few weeks as I and other accounts have received death threats. If you are not interested in my account, unfollow me. Show a little respect or you’ll get blocked. I want to thank my followers who believe and understand me, everyone else can go.
