Who’s who in GTA VI information — the journalists worth reading, the leakers worth a glance, and the accounts worth blocking. Includes the “that’s not the real account” notes, because impersonators are half the problem.

journalist · Bloomberg, Bluesky
The one whose scoops become facts. Had the female lead, the Florida setting and the “start smaller, grow the map” plan years early. If Schreier reports it, it’s about as official as unofficial gets.
Reliable on: Development status, business decisions, release windows, studio culture
Watch out for: Doesn’t do trailer frame analysis or “what car is that” — not his beat

outlet · Official
The source of truth. If it’s not on Newswire, in a trailer, or said on a Take-Two call, it is not confirmed — no matter who tweeted it.
Reliable on: Everything official
take2games.com/ir
outlet · Official (investor relations)
Where the release date gets reaffirmed and the online strategy gets hinted at, in careful CEO language. Boring, but it’s Rockstar’s parent company under oath, basically.
Reliable on: Release date, financial framing, online intentions

Better than the average X account — a few calls have landed. But it’s second-hand (“a friend of a Rockstar dev”), so treat each claim as a lead, not a fact.
Reliable on: Occasionally, trailer timing and broad feature direction
Watch out for: Specific gameplay details; second-hand sourcing
YouTube — “50 Things You Missed”
analyst · YouTube
The big trailer-breakdown channel. Solid on “here’s a detail in the frame”, looser when it drifts into “and this means…”. Watch for the eyeballs, not the predictions.
Reliable on: Cataloguing what’s actually visible in official footage
Watch out for: Speculation presented with breakdown-voice confidence
grandtheft.gg
aggregator · Web
Keeps a running explainer of the Cyberleek leaks. Useful as an index of what dropped when — just don’t mistake “collected” for “verified”.
Reliable on: Timeline of leak events
Telegram + own site only
leaker · Telegram, own website
The group behind the August 2026 gameplay clips. The footage looks real; the alleged map doesn’t verify. They run a memecoin off the watermarks, which tells you the motive isn’t journalism.
Reliable on: They had genuine footage once — that’s the whole résumé
Watch out for: The map, the county names, and the crypto angle
⚠️ Cyberleek has publicly said they have NO X/Twitter account and operate only via Telegram and their own site. Every “Cyberleek” on X — including ones with 100k+ followers — is an impersonator.
leaker · X
The “🚨 BREAKING GTA 6” accounts with a rocket emoji and no track record. Rockstar’s security is, by leakers’ own admission, “locked down like Area 51” — almost nobody has real information right now, and the ones posting daily definitely don’t.
Watch out for: Everything. Especially anything with a countdown or a Linktree.
