Don't fall for it: websites with fake early access to GTA VI have appeared online

Fraudulent websites offering non-existent "early access" are circulating online, allegedly disguised as VIP packs and collaborations with MrBeast.

Fraudulent websites have appeared online, offering "early access" to Grand Theft Auto VI for several hundred dollars. Amidst the hype surrounding the game, scammers are selling supposedly exclusive access, even though Rockstar Games is not conducting such promotions.

These websites promise "VIP Digital Access" or "Exclusive Early Access Preview," use AI-generated images, and even impersonate MrBeast's partners. One resource offered a bundle with a Lego Lamborghini, a MrBeast minifigure, and a virtual car for GTA Online for $275 in Bitcoin, USDT, or Ethereum.

After payment, buyers receive nothing. One such website has already ceased operations and appears to have defrauded some users.

The confusion is amplified by the popularity of early access in modern games. In the case of GTA VI, there will be no early access: none of the game editions allow players to start playing earlier than others. The only thing that will appear before release is pre-loading.

If a website offers early access to GTA VI and asks for payment, especially in cryptocurrency, it is a scam. The game is scheduled for release on November 19, 2026, on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
