With the one-year anniversary of Grand Theft Auto 6’s first trailer just around the corner, fans are buzzing with anticipation, cooking up new theories about when Rockstar might drop the next sneak peek of this eagerly awaited game. Since the debut of the game’s first trailer in 2023, the community has been rife with speculation, but so far, none of these predictions have hit the mark.
Throughout 2024, the Grand Theft Auto fanbase has been busy churning out a variety of theories. One that caught a lot of attention was the “moon theory,” which suggested we’d see the second trailer by November 22. But as the date slid by without any news, fans turned their sights to newer possibilities for when another glimpse of GTA 6 might hit their screens.
Over on Reddit, a user known as Notorious_Frog_2 threw a new idea into the ring, proposing that the second trailer will arrive on December 3. Though the original post disappeared, discussions picked up steam on Twitter. The theory is tied to the upcoming release of a fresh Grand Theft Auto Online update, believed to be launching on December 10, though the official date is still a mystery. The Redditor noted the simplicity of the theory, pointing out that just like last year’s trailer dropped a week prior to the December update, this pattern might repeat.
Of course, this speculation remains purely fan conjecture. Rockstar hasn’t dropped any hints about when they plan to unveil the second trailer. Yet, it’s hard to deny that strategically timing it a week before a major GTA Online update would make sense from a business angle, potentially pulling more players into GTA 5’s online universe while they eagerly await the sequel.
As it stands, Grand Theft Auto 6 is slated for a Fall 2025 release. However, the radio silence from Rockstar has some fans worried about a potential delay. Back in September, rumors started swirling about an internal postponement of the game, causing quite a stir. But journalist Jason Schreier quickly quashed these claims, citing insider conversations with six Rockstar Games employees who were unaware of any such delay. Rockstar further reassured fans of its timeline during an investor call, confirming the Fall 2025 launch. Yet, the lack of updates has begun to stir unease among fans hungry for more news.
Grand Theft Auto 6 promises to take players back to the vibrant setting of Vice City, offering an open-world crime experience on platforms like the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. With features like online multiplayer and Steam Deck compatibility, it’s shaping up to capture the imagination of players once more. Here’s hoping we’ll get more updates soon, bringing us closer to stepping back into that neon-soaked world.
