What GTA VI scams should I watch out for?
Be careful with unofficial downloads, fake account emails, and anyone asking for your sign-in details.
The main GTA VI scams are fake downloads, fake account emails and people asking for your sign-in details.
GTA VI is only released for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Any download for PC, phone or tablet that claims to be GTA VI is not official. The real game comes from the PlayStation Store or the Xbox Store, or as a code in a box from a retailer or Rockstar’s store.
Rockstar warns that phishing emails and outside services may try to get your account details. Keep your password and two-step codes to yourself, even if a message looks official.
Habits that help:
- Turn on two-step verification for your PlayStation, Xbox and Rockstar accounts.
- Redeem codes only in your console’s own store.
- Ignore offers of free copies, early access or cheap in-game money.
- Go to shops through the official game site or your console, not through links in messages.
If a boxed code is missing or does not work, contact the retailer you bought it from.
