This is what the community says: In the GTA 6 subreddit, much has been discussed since last night about a potential error by Portuguese Netflix, where there allegedly was a leaked episode preview for a short time.
The user’s post, which spread this rumor, was already removed by the user himself, as others quickly realized that it was a fake. The episodes are shown differently on Netflix.
However, fans are not that unsure whether there might indeed be several episodes on Netflix. After all, Strauss Zelnick referred to the Netflix debut merely as “one of the appetizers,” to which further “appetizers, main course, and dessert” are to follow (Source: GamesIndustry.biz).

And anyone who still believes the post should take a closer look at the date of the post (“GTA 6 CRACKED 100% 4K 60 fps NO VIRUS”).
However, the community appreciates the humor of the fan.
