To avoid GTA 6 spoilers, mute the game's name and character names (GTA VI, Jason, Lucia) on X and Instagram, and clean up your YouTube recommendations.

On November 19, timelines will fill with story scenes. Beebom's guide lays out the method: filter words before the flood, platform by platform. We summarise what it recommends without having tested every menu, since settings vary by app.
Beebom stresses one point: clever trolls leave the game title out of their posts, so you also need to block character names and every variation of the title. On Instagram, the guide suggests the Hidden Words feature with "GTA 6", "GTA VI", "Lucia" and "Jason". On X, the muted words setting serves the same purpose. The same logic applies to TikTok, which the guide also covers.
Per Beebom, YouTube is the main trap, because thumbnails often reveal a plot point. On desktop, the guide recommends the BlockTube and Unhook extensions to hide recommendations and block channels. On phones and TVs, where extensions do not work, it advises clearing and pausing your watch history, which leaves the home feed blank. It also suggests avoiding comment sections and choosing "Not interested" on any suspicious video.
No, and that is the problem. Beebom notes that Rockstar files takedowns against leaks but videos slip through. Preloading already spread details, as we wrote about the Mapping Project Discord disappearing, and the first unboxings showed what is in the box. Our journal flags what is a leak.

It takes ten minutes of settings before next Thursday, and now is the time: after launch, every word on the list will be everywhere. One simple rule beats the rest: if you want to discover the story live, avoid comment sections too. Then join the community page once you have finished.
