A fresh wave of excitement has gripped the GTA community after a mysterious screenshot of Grand Theft Auto VI surfaced online — allegedly from a closed beta test on PlayStation 5. The image teases not only early access to the game but also a list of 58 trophies. Is this a legitimate leak or just another internet hoax? Let’s unpack the buzz.
The Leak That Sparked It All
The supposed leak comes from an Instagram user, @skibidinicky , who posted a PS5 screenshot featuring “Grand Theft Auto VI – Closed Test (RC7201).” The title appeared at the top of her recently played games list, fueling speculation that a beta version of the game is being tested internally.
But what really grabbed attention? The trophy count. The screenshot showed 58 trophies available for GTA 6, with six already unlocked and a progress bar sitting at 7%. According to the image, the game had been played for over 23 hours.
Who Is @skibidinicky?The user behind the post claims to be an illustrator at Rockstar Games — a detail that instantly lent credibility to the leak in the eyes of fans. Her Instagram bio includes a Rockstar tag, but no official confirmation from the company has followed.
Still, fans are divided. Some believe the image is authentic and indicates a quiet, invite-only beta. Others argue it could be a well-crafted fake, possibly edited to stir hype ahead of the game’s 2026 release.
Rockstar’s SilenceSo far, Rockstar Games has remained completely silent on the issue — no denial, no confirmation. That’s not unusual. The studio is famously secretive, especially with its flagship titles. The idea that a legitimate employee could openly post a beta screenshot without consequences raises eyebrows.
Adding to the skepticism, the screenshot doesn't reveal any gameplay, menu navigation, or dynamic features — just a static PS5 interface. That makes verification tricky.
Real or Rumor?The 58 trophies detail is intriguing. For context, GTA V had around 50 trophies at launch across platforms. A slightly larger count makes sense for a next-gen game of this scale — especially if GTA 6 includes expanded storylines, multiple protagonists, or in-depth online play.
But at the end of the day, nothing shown in the leak is verifiable. There’s no gameplay footage, no Rockstar statement, and no corroboration from other sources. Until something official drops, it’s best to take this with a healthy dose of skepticism.
Final ThoughtsWhether real or staged, the leak has reignited fan speculation and reminded the world that GTA 6 fever is very much alive. With the official release now delayed to 2026, it’s likely we’ll see more of these breadcrumbs — some legit, some not. Until Rockstar speaks, the mystery continues.
