GTA VI Trailer Glitch Causes Outrage. Gamers Cancel Pre-Orders, Internet Predictably Explodes.

GTA VI Trailer Lighting Bug Causes Backlash: Cue the Outrage Machine

The Glitch That Launched a Thousand Tweets

The second GTA VI trailer dropped with all the usual Rockstar flair—sun-drenched streets, beautiful chaos, and two leads who look like they’ve survived more car crashes than the entire Fast & Furious franchise.

But eagle-eyed fans noticed something horrific: a lighting glitch.

Yes, a shadow rendered oddly. That’s it. Civilization is now in ruins.

The Internet Reacts Like It’s the Apocalypse

Naturally, social media did what social media does.

• “That’s it. Pre-order canceled.”

• “I expected better.”

• “Rockstar is finished!”

Meanwhile, back in reality, the bug looked like it belonged to an unfinished build—because it probably was. You know… since the game doesn’t release until next year.

History Repeats Itself—And We Keep Falling for It

Gamers have short memories. GTA V had bugs. Red Dead 2 had bugs. Your toaster probably has bugs. But the games still launched to rave reviews and global hysteria.

So will GTA VI. But please, don’t let that stop you from rage-posting on Reddit. It’s tradition now.
