An announcement stream for GTA 6 has appeared on Twitch. Although the stream is likely a fake, players are still hoping for an announcement.
What is it about? After a particularly successful GTA 5 Online players are now finally hoping for an announcement of Grand Theft Auto 6 almost 7 years after the release of GTA V.
Recently, the theory emerged that GTA IV was supposed to be announced on March 25, which was not confirmed.
Now, an announcement stream for GTA 6 has appeared on Twitch.
Is the Twitch stream just a fake?
What kind of stream is this? A new channel has appeared on Twitch named: GTAVI. There, a countdown is counting down and the supposed logo of the new game is visible.
Here you can access the Twitch stream of GTA 6.
So far, 64,000 people have visited and viewed this stream. There are still constantly over 400 people watching it now.
What makes the Twitch stream credible? The description states that this would be the stream for GTA 6 and they will show announcements and teasers there.
Even the official site of Rockstar Games is linked, along with a note about the benefits of connecting to Social Club and Twitch Prime.
Why is this likely just a fake stream?
If you look at the stream more closely, a few things stand out that indicate a fake. For instance, the stream is not verified by Twitch, unlike the official stream from Rockstar Games.
However, the biggest hint is the countdown, as it ends exactly on April 1, 2020. It seems that a fan is pulling a huge April Fool’s joke.
It would also be strange if Rockstar did not make such a big announcement on their official stream, as they would have a much larger reach there.
Fans still have hope
Why do fans still have hope for an announcement? The stream still has 300 to 400 viewers. There is also a lot of discussion about whether it is a fake.
Some players are wondering why the stream has not been banned yet if it is a fake.
Others think Rockstar would want players to consider this an April Fool’s joke.
Players probably want this announcement so much that they want to believe it. This is also not the first theory about the announcement that is circulating on the internet.
