Summary
Scammers are exploiting the massive hype around Grand Theft Auto 6 by creating AI-generated fake websites that mimic Rockstar Games' official art. These fraudulent sites promise "early access" or beta access to GTA 6 in exchange for cryptocurrency payments (typically Bitcoin), but instead deliver malware to victims. Malwarebytes warns there is no public beta for GTA 6, making any such offer inherently fraudulent.

Fake GTA 6 'early access' sites promise access to the game if you pay hundreds in cryptocurrency, but offer only malware instead.
They will ask for a payment in Bitcoin for 'VIP Digital Access' or access to a beta build of the game. It's important to note there is no public beta for GTA 6.
