  "account": "GTA 6 leaked footage has sparked speculation on the internet, with many believing it was recorded on a PC rather than a console. Multiple developers confirmed the footage originated from the PC version, rather than a leaked video from Rockstar. The leak raises questions about the eventual PC release, as no official announcement has been made yet. While it's clear that a PC version of GTA 6 will eventually be released, the specific hardware requirements remain a mystery. The leaked footage suggests that the game runs at around 30 fps, but the necessary hardware for smooth frame rates is still unknown. With graphics card prices soaring, gamers may need high-end RTX 5080 or 5090 cards to handle the graphics options offered by the game.",
