Grand Theft Auto 6, Rockstar’s highly anticipated blockbuster, is slated for release on November 19th of this year and is expected to be played by virtually everyone owning a PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series console. Following the buzz from its second trailer, the gaming world is now buzzing with questions about the third.
Roughly ten months after the debut of its second trailer, a crucial question arises: When will the third trailer be released? Neither Rockstar Games nor Take-Two have provided an official answer, but speculation is rife. This growing anticipation has been further fueled by a recent, seemingly casual remark from well-known insider Tom Henderson.
GTA 6: Industry Expert Predicts Third Trailer Release
“I’m sticking with what I said a few weeks ago,” stated Henderson, known for his generally reliable leaks in the gaming industry, during the 36:25 mark of the latest Insider Gaming podcast. He elaborated, “I don’t believe they will release the next GTA 6 trailer before actual summer […]” During the same discussion, Mike Straw, also from Insider Gaming, highlighted that Take-Two’s upcoming earnings calls are scheduled for late May and late August.
(Quick note: An Earnings Call is a financial term referring to a company’s regular communication of financial results.) Henderson had previously speculated in an earlier episode of the same podcast series that the third GTA 6 trailer might drop in early August. However, his current personal assessment now leans towards the end of August.
Fan Skepticism Over Trailer Theory
Regardless of when the third trailer finally hits the internet, Henderson’s statement has already sparked considerable discussion within online communities. For instance, Twitter user MrKelsGame expressed doubt about Henderson’s prediction, stating, “April or May is more likely. August is too far away for a game releasing in November.”
Meanwhile, RockStation simply tweeted, “Man, I can’t wait.” Amidst all the fan discussions, it’s important to remember what Henderson, Straw, and their colleagues emphasized in the Insider Gaming podcast: a colossal project like GTA 6 can potentially forgo a typical marketing strategy, as the game is expected to capture virtually every gaming demographic regardless.
