Brooklyn’s first Grand Theft Auto 6 mural, which took the artist seven whole days to paint by hand, has been tagged by a graffiti artist who’s getting a ton of heat from fans.

To say that GTA 6’s marketing cycle has been strange would be an understatement. After fans spent literal years begging for just a smidgen of news while Rockstar kept quiet and locked itself away to work on the world’s most anticipated game, things very quickly changed over the past two months.

What was once deafening silence, moon theories, and digging through trailers turned into a massive gameplay deep dive, magazine covers, exclusive controllers, a whole soundtrack album, new trailers, and a bunch of artwork. Like with GTA 5, some of that artwork has even appeared in the real world, leaving it open to getting ruined, like what just happened in Brooklyn.

As pointed out by Redditor BrendalBallentine on the GTA subreddit, Brooklyn’s massive hand-painted mural of the GTA 6 launch trailer artwork has recently been defaced by a graffiti artist called “jelous”, who put their tag at the bottom of the piece. The artist then decided to share what they’d done on their public Instagram page, catching the attention of the GTA community.

Sony is right - Grand Theft Auto 6 is probably going to play best on PlayStation.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the reactions to the defacing have not been positive , with many jumping into jelous’ comments to call him out and even leading him to turn them off altogether.
