Fake GTA 6 demo sites spread credential-stealing malware to eager gamers

Following the debut of an extended trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6, a campaign of fraudulent websites has emerged, posing as sources for a game demo. These pages copy Rockstar's visual style and claim to provide an official download, but the file is a malicious infostealer. According to Malwarebytes, the software scans browsers for stored passwords, session cookies, autofill data, browsing and download histories, as well as FTP client credentials.

Rockstar has confirmed that no demo exists, and recent leaks have only involved videos and screenshots, not playable builds. The scam exploits fans' desire for early access, especially as the promised file size is far smaller than a typical AAA title. Experts advise gamers to double-check URLs, avoid downloading suspiciously tiny files, and refrain from entering credentials on untrusted sites.
