GTA 6 LIVE: Rockstar Games parodies have now been 'hidden'

'Did Apple just tease GTA 6 on iPhone?'

Apple hosted its annual event showing off the new tech it has been working on, including the latest iPhone, and it seems the tech giant may have been taking inspiration from GTA 6.

One scene of the presentation appeared to use Ocean Drive as its backdrop, something that looked as though it was straight out of GTA 6.

It's led to all sorts of speculation about some sort of partnership or crossover between Apple and Rockstar Games online.

In the GTA Subreddit, one user posted a screenshot from the presentation and asked: "Did Apple just tease GTA 6 on iPhone?"

And as you can imagine, the majority of comments have been poking fun at the post.

To be clear, GTA 6 is highly unlikely to run on an iPhone. It's expected to release on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S at launch.

Rockstar Games parodies have now been 'hidden' by Take-Two

It seems that GTA 6 parodies uncovered by a dataminer have now been "hidden" after details about them were posted online.

Tez2 is someone who analyses game files such as code to uncover information about unknown or unreleased content and regularly posts updates about Rockstar Games.

The user recently posted on GTA Forums: "I came across some domains all registered on 27 May under Take-Two's nameservers that seem to be GTA 6-related.

"These domains could be in-game sites that Rockstar may redirect to GTA 6's page later on, like what we've seen with GTA 4 and GTA 5. Or some could be completely unrelated instead."

Tez2 says they were:

• what-up.app
• rydeme.app
• buckme.app
• leonidagov.org
• brianandbradley.com
• hookers-galore.com
• wipeoutcornskin.com
• myboyhasacreepycorndog.com

However since this was posted, it appears Take-Two has taken steps to "hide" them.

PC Gamer reports they were indeed tied to nameservers which also had links to Rockstar Games' website - but now it seems they have been moved over to new nameservers without any links to Take-Two at all, thus becoming "hidden" according to the outlet.

Tez2 posted on X / Twitter: "All the domains listed within the post are no longer tied to their nameservers anymore." This was also corroborated by PC Gamer.

None of this has been officially confirmed by Rockstar Games or Take-Two.

Gamers react to Ghost of Yotei developers celebrating GTA 6 delay

In the Gaming Subreddit, social media users have been reacting to Ghost of Yotei co-creative director Nate Fox saying that he and his team celebrated GTA 6 being delayed earlier this year.

Zeeyrec said: "It's great being a PC gamer and getting these games three years from now for full price."

TheNinjaDC said: "I just love the honesty 😂"

yesterdayWALKAWY said: "Fair enough, celebrate the small wins after years of stress. A team that can let loose together often comes back more focused and creative. This also feels like a sign the industry might be loosening up a bit, which is welcome. Just hope they remember that balance beats burnout in the long run."

HandleOldMAN said: "Good for them for having a proper blowout after the grind, small rebellions against crunch are how people stay human."

Electronic-Egg5898 said: "Nothing wrong with a proper rockstar blowout, sometimes morale is the quickest patch you can ship, just hope the hangover turned into better work habits and not a single night consolation for years of grind."

Ghost of Yotei developers celebrated GTA 6's delay

Ghost of Yotei co-creative director Nate Fox revealed developers at Sucker Punch working on the new title celebrated when it was announced GTA 6 was delayed.

MinnMax asked: "When GTA 6 was delayed to 2026, did the entire studio pop some champagne?"

And Fox replied: "We're all still hungover. Multi-month hangover. That was a great day!"

Reaction to GTA 6 parodies

The rumoured parodies have been reposted in the GTA 6 Subreddit and gamers have been having their say.

thatmovieperson said: "Ryde Me is the perfect name for GTA's version of Uber 😂"

SteveBorden said: "myboyhasacreepycorndog.com is gonna have some wild s*** on it."

Dry-Fault-5557 said: "Finally some good news."

Makoto_Yuki4 said: "I wish internet in GTA 6 would have much bigger role than in GTA 5. Honestly for me browsing web in GTA 4 was so fun."

Stakoman said: "Rockstar... Please... Don't you ever change! Hilarious."

Typical Rockstar Games parodies 'confirmed' - and they're brilliant

Rockstar Games titles, especially in the Grand Theft Auto series, are renowned for their parodies on the real world.

Think iFruit for iPhone, Bleeter for Twitter and Sprunk for Sprite in GTA 5. It seems Rockstar's typically brilliant parodies are coming to GTA 6 too if new information from a datamine is anything to go by.

Tez2 is a dataminer, someone who analyses game files such as code to uncover information about unknown or unreleased content, and regularly posts updates about Rockstar Games.

The user posted on GTA Forums: "I came across some domains all registered on 27 May under Take-Two's nameservers that seem to be GTA 6-related.

"These domains could be in-game sites that Rockstar may redirect to GTA 6's page later on, like what we've seen with GTA 4 and GTA 5. Or some could be completely unrelated instead."

Tez2 says they are:

• what-up.app (known from the leaks)
• rydeme.app
• buckme.app
• leonidagov.org
• brianandbradley.com
• hookers-galore.com
• wipeoutcornskin.com
• myboyhasacreepycorndog.com

'What 70 per cent of enterable buildings looks like'

A Redditor has posted a visual representation of "what 70 per cent of enterable buildings looks like" in GTA 6 based off screenshots.

It's long been rumoured that amount of buildings will be enterable in the upcoming game.

Redditor Elven-Melvin posted: "Do you really believe the leaks?"

And others have been commenting with their thoughts.

One user said: "When it means enterable, I'm considering most of the large or complex buildings would be most likely connected to a mission."

Fit-Joke-3899 said: "'Enterable' also doesn't have to include the whole building. Your point still stands OP but yea enterable can just mean things like apartment / hotel lobbies or motel hallways or condo rooftops accessible thru elevators or even just a garage on the side of a locked out house. So even tho 70 per cent is ridiculous, a high amount of interiors isn't out of the question."

HK9009 said: "I don't really need every building or even most of the buildings enterable. I just want the cool ones. If I see a huge mall or casino hell yeah I wanna go in there. If it's something like a hotel I don't really care. Maybe just the lobby and ability to get a room like RDR2 would be cool but I don't really need the walk through the whole building and every floor."

GTA Online reminder

Rockstar Games has reminded GTA Online players there's still time to cash in on an end of summer giveaway if they haven't already. Up to GTA$2m can be claimed.

A social media post said: "Anyone yet to claim the one-time GTA$1,000,000 bonus has until 17 September to get it by playing GTA Online.

"Sign up for GTA+ by 17 September to get an additional GTA$1,000,000 (and much more)."

'Hopefully the jets have liveries'

Following on from the GTA 6 Subreddit post about jets being spotted in the second trailer, another Redditor hopes they will "have liveries".

And others have been commenting with their thoughts.

reddit_user_in_space said: "We have pretty good liveries in GTA 5 imo."

One user said: "This is dumb."

Claptown420 said: "I don't see how jets fit into the lore of GTA 6... They're supposed to be low-end criminals / bank robbers. Please let's not lose the plot like the Fast & Furious movies, s*** went from somewhat believable to completely off the rails. Maybe in GTA Online..."

'Crazy' gameplay feature spotted in trailer

An online sleuth has spotted a "crazy" gameplay feature from GTA 6 trailer 2.

Redditor Eccel9700 posted a gif from the trailer and said: "There's a jet flying through the clouds. It seriously cannot be understated how incredible the clouds look in this game. They seem to have way more volume and scale than even the clouds in RDR2. Flying through clouds, especially in thunderstorms, is going to be breathtaking."

And others have been reacting to this find.

Due_Response_1507 said: "That's a pretty good spot to be fair."

Neither_Principle_34 said: "Bro this game is going to be so insane, 26 May can't come fast enough."

Substantial_Can1072 said: "Bro, how tf did you find this. Respect."

imachoculatedonnut said: "Nothing beats a Jet2 holiday."

r10_fe07 said: "That's crazy! How many more details can we get outta that trailer? Rockstar give us an update ffs."

Third of the way to release

A third of the time from Rockstar Games announcing GTA 6 was delayed to its revised release date has now passed, according to X / Twitter account @GTAVI_Countdown that's keeping track.

Rockstar Games confirmed on 2 May that GTA 6 was delayed to 26 May 2026.

And now, since that announcement, a third of the time has passed until the revised release date.

The countdown continues.

Gaming boss labels GTA 6 'AAAAA game'

Nigel Lowrie, co-founder of gaming publisher Devolver Digital, has said GTA 6 is a "AAAAA game".

Speaking to IGN, Lowrie said: "There are AAA games and then there's AAAA games and I'd argue that Grand Theft Auto is potentially the AAAAA game.

"It's just bigger than anything else both in the scope and scale of the game and the kind of cultural impact that it has and the attention it demands."
