Canny GTA 6 fans have realised they’re being conned by a supposed leak, that claims to reveal the game’s licensed soundtrack.
Without any official news from Rockstar, it’s easy for fans to latch onto any information that comes out regarding GTA 6, even if the source doesn’t seem so good. It’s why some people are willing to put stock in ridiculous theories about when the next trailer will drop, based on the flimsiest of theories.
There have also been reports of a possible release date for a PC version and the, sadly more plausible, idea that Take-Two wants to charge over £100 just for the base game, which has sparked plenty of discussion within the community.
Given how desperate fans are for any updates, it’s unsurprising that an alleged leak of GTA 6’s soundtrack has proven very popular. The only problem is that it’s not true.
On Wednesday, March 12, the X account for Pop Crave, which reports on entertainment news, posted that a list of songs for GTA 6’s soundtrack had been accidentally posted to the official Rockstar Games X account and then been swiftly deleted.
It shared a screenshot of the deleted post, and, at first glance, it looks authentic enough for several commentors to express their opinions on the selection of artists listed, including Nicki Minaj, Lil Wayne, and the Weeknd.
However, the community notes were quick to act and flag Rockstar’s post as a fabrication.
Given how obsessive GTA fans are, it’s impossible that only Pop Crave would’ve seen it. Fans would have been watching Rockstar’s social media accounts like hawks and would have spotted and screenshotted the post first, if it had actually happened.
As it stands, the only things Rockstar has posted about this past week have been a St. Patrick’s Day themed update for Red Dead Online, new GTA Online missions, and an announcement for an official Rockstar Discord server.
So, do we know anything about the actual soundtrack for GTA 6? Well, rapper T-Pain is believed to be involved with it, saying last year that his involvement with Rockstar meant he had to stop using a popular GTA role-playing server.
The same can’t be said for the band Heaven 17. One of its members alleged that Rockstar did approach them to include one of Heaven 17’s songs in GTA 6, but they turned the opportunity down because Rockstar’s offer was too low.
