This fake GTA 6 ad might be the most shameless one yet

I actually want to play this version of GTA 6.

I know we’re all excited about playing GTA 6—I definitely am, too—but people really need to stop making fake stuff about the game.

A new post on Reddit, shared by an Argentinian user, shows what might be one of the worst fake GTA 6 ads yet. It’s also one of the funniest, and honestly, I’d love to see it in action. And that’s after already coming across a fake GTA 6 guidebook I bought that was filled with AI-generated nonsense.

GTA 6 on PS2 is the most hilarious fake ad ever

The post, made in the Argentinian Gaming subreddit, shows a store window with a GTA 6 poster on it. At first glance, it looks like just another promotional image using Rockstar’s official artwork. But then you notice something strange—it has the PlayStation 2 banner across the top, the same one that used to be on PS2 game covers back in the day as if GTA 6 were actually a PS2 release.

Obviously, this is completely fake—GTA 6 would never run on a PS2. If someone even tried, the console would probably melt in five seconds from the sheer effort. The PS2 just doesn’t have anywhere near the power to handle a game like this.

More likely, this is just a fan-made mod or a hack of GTA San Andreas or GTA Vice City, where someone reworked the map and the characters, or maybe even added Lucia as a playable option. You can actually find many mods of this kind online.

Of course, this is piracy, plain and simple, so it’s probably best if this store doesn’t get too much attention if they’re distributing it. That said, it’s still funny to imagine a GTA 6 PS2 edition and how ridiculous it would be.

GTA 6 is restricted to PS5 and Xbox Series X|S

As of now, GTA 6 is officially set to release in Fall 2025 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Rockstar has confirmed these platforms on its website, but a GTA 6 PC version will likely come later, as has been the case with previous GTA games.

As for Nintendo, there’s almost no chance we’ll see GTA 6 on the Switch or Switch 2. Since GTA 5 was never released on the original Switch, it’s unlikely that Rockstar will bring GTA 6 to a Nintendo console anytime soon, especially given Nintendo’s focus on more family-friendly games.
