Some fans joked that the skin looked a lot like CJ from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, while others questioned if it was even real.
As with any leaks, it's important to remember that they're not always accurate, so we won't know exactly what the Travis Scott skin looks like until it's official.
And that's if Epic Games makes it official, as they've been known in the past to toss ideas if they don't work. However, we expect there will be some collaboration with the rapper and the game.
It's also interesting that the character is wearing Nike shoes, possibly hinting at another crossover with the iconic brand after a successful collaboration with Jordan in May 2019.
