GTA VI Trailer Leaks Early with “Buy BTC” Logo
The highly anticipated trailer for Rockstar Games’ GTA VI was leaked ahead of its official release, featuring a prominent “BUY $BTC” caption. An individual with the username “gta6trailerleak” shared the trailer on Reddit before the scheduled unveiling. GTA VI is the next installment in the popular “Grand Theft Auto” series and has generated significant excitement among gamers.
Rockstar Responds with Official Trailer Release
Rockstar Games had initially planned to release the trailer later in the day but decided to unveil it early in response to the leak. The company tweeted, “Our trailer has leaked so please watch the real thing on YouTube.” The leaker’s account was subsequently suspended, and the original leaked post was removed. However, a user on another subreddit managed to save an upload of the now-deleted trailer.
The Leaked Trailer and Bitcoin
The leaked trailer was nearly identical to the official one, except for poorer image quality and a large “BUY $BTC” caption in the center. It appears that the leaker, possibly a Bitcoin supporter, used this opportunity to gain attention for the cryptocurrency and potentially boost its price.
Bitcoin’s Price Reaction
Despite the leak and its association with Bitcoin, there hasn’t been a significant impact on BTC’s price. The asset has remained relatively flat over the past day. Currently trading around $41,600, Bitcoin has experienced a 12% rally in the past week.
Hot Take: GTA VI Generates Massive Hype, But No Big Boost for Bitcoin
The leak of GTA VI’s trailer created immense buzz within gaming communities. While Bitcoin enthusiasts may have hoped for a price increase due to the association with the game, there has been no noticeable effect on BTC’s price. Nevertheless, the popularity of GTA VI and its predecessor, GTA V, suggests that the upcoming release could be a major success in the gaming industry.
