O., which appears to be a Polish company. The website for Violarte was only created recently, and contains fake games and awards as well as what look like fake employees visualized either with stock photos or generative AI.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">IGN has asked Sony and Violarte for comment.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">While Grand Taking Ages VI should obviously not be taken seriously, its appearance on the PlayStation Store does call into question Sony\u2019s curation process. The PlayStation Store has seen a number of questionable games over the years, but all the major video game storefronts struggle with this issue. The likes of Steam, the various app stores, and even the Nintendo eShop are packed with slop. And who can forget God of War rip-off War Gods Zeus of Child, which appeared on the Xbox store back in 2022?<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">As for Grand Taking Ages VI, its appearance on the PlayStation Store is likely not long for this world. \u201cIn memory of those who didn&#8217;t have a chance to live till this moment (and those who gave up waiting and bought a PS6 instead),\u201d the description concludes. \u201cPS6 doesn&#8217;t exist yet, but by the time some games release, it probably will.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">GTA 6, meanwhile, launches on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S in the fall of 2025.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><em>Wesley is the UK News Editor for IGN.
