GTA 6 publisher removes fake AI videos and fuels anticipation for third trailer
The quick read

On July 24, 2026, Take-Two Interactive, publisher of Grand Theft Auto 6, intensified efforts to remove fake videos about the game that were generated by artificial intelligence and posted to online platforms, using DMCA notices.

The takedowns matter because AI tools make it easy to produce convincing fake game footage that can mislead fans and infringe IP during a high-anticipation window, but the truncated report leaves unclear how many videos were removed, which platforms were affected, or whether removals stopped new fakes.

Main points
  • Take-Two Interactive is identified as the company responsible for Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6).
  • The removal action targets fake videos generated by artificial intelligence (AI) on online platforms.
  • The action is based on the Distributed Copyright Act (DMCA) and began July 24, 2026.
Gain
