As if the latest delay wasn't already agonizing enough for fans, Google is now recommending a fake Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer for users, courtesy of YouTube channel Teaser Universe. The trailer, titled “Grand Theft Auto VI – Final Trailer (2026) Rockstar Games”, is littered with comments from users who claim they were sent there by Google after receiving a notification that a new trailer had been released for the game. However, the trailer is not only noticeably fake, but has also been confirmed to be a fan-made concept trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6 by the content creator for the channel.
According to the creator of the video, the fake trailer was created by “combining various effects, sound design and AI technologies” and is in no way an official trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6. Teaser Universe's latest gag is just one in a line of fake trailers for various forms of entertainment, as it has produced videos for movies, TV shows and games that don't exist, along with speculative fan projects that sometimes stray into misleading branding territory. The GTA 6 fake has quickly become one of its most visible creations, largely because Google's recommendation system has shown it to people who weren't actively looking for it.

Situations like this point to a growing problem on YouTube. Fan-made concept trailers have risen in prominence due to rapid advances in AI-assisted editing and asset generation. While many creators clearly label their videos, others, like Teaser Universe, use titles that resemble official marketing, often misleading users who rely on automatic notifications and platform recommendations.
Rockstar Games has not commented on the situation and probably won't, nor has Google addressed why this particular video went viral. For now, fans will have to wait for the real thing, and given the current hype around Grand Theft Auto 6any future trailer will likely create even more confusion if YouTube continues to push fan-made content like this.
