Rockstar Games is permanently banning players for using an account duplication exploit in GTA V’s multiplayer component, GTA Online.

Twitter/X user ClassiqueGTA has reported that Rockstar Games is handing out permanent account suspensions in GTA Online for the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S to those using an account duplication exploit.

The aforementioned exploit allows a GTA Online player to make a 1:1 copy of another player’s data.

As a result of this hack, many GTA Online accounts were seen in Rank 7984.

It’s good to see that Rockstar Games has swiftly dealt with them here, allowing business to return to usual in GTA Online.

Last year, Hackers in GTA Online had found a PC exploit that could potentially be used to delete the profiles of other players.

Subsequently, Rockstar Games rolled out an update to fix the exploit in the PC version of GTA Online. »
