I made Discord think I'm playing GTA VI — here's how it works

Description and use

Users can display a realistic GTA VI session on Discord before the game releases, including character, mode, location, and elapsed time, without needing a bot token or password.

Problem

Users want to appear as playing a game that is not yet released, to avoid waiting for the actual release.

Outcome

Users can display a realistic GTA VI session on Discord before the game releases, including character, mode, location, and elapsed time, without needing a bot token or password.

Workflow

• 1. Create a free Discord Application and copy its Application ID.
• 2. Download and run GTA VI Presence Studio (C# WinForms).
• 3. Paste the Application ID into the program’s settings.
• 4. (Optional) Upload art assets via Discord Application’s Art Assets system.
• 5. Start the simulator; it displays simulated GTA VI session on Discord.
• 6. Use built‑in features to switch characters, modes, and track elapsed time.

Evidence

I built GTA VI Presence Studio, a free and open-source Windows utility that can display a simulated GTA VI session on Discord.
