A GTA 6 fan account known as GTASixJoker has publicly apologized after receiving a cease and desist letter from Take-Two Interactive for posting AI-generated images deliberately made to look like leaked screenshots from the game.
Part 1
A Grand Theft Auto 6 fan account that had spent months posting AI-generated images deliberately made to look like leaked screenshots has received a cease and desist letter from Take-Two Interactive. The account, GTASixJoker, issued a public apology on X on April 24, 2026.
Part 2
Since the first GTA 6 trailer dropped in December 2023, an entire industry of AI-generated "leaks" has emerged on social media platforms. These range from obviously fake images with telltale AI artifacts to increasingly sophisticated compositions that use Rockstar's copyrighted assets, character likenesses, and trademarked visual language.
Part 3
The account involved admitted to using copyrighted Rockstar material in AI-generated compositions, which is apparently where Take-Two and Rockstar are drawing the line. Creating an AI image that uses Rockstar's trademarked logos, character designs from Trailer 1, the specific visual language of Vice City's neon aesthetic, and the overall GTA 6 title treatment crosses into clear legal territory.
