Article Key Points
Rockstar Games, the studio behind GTA and RDR, is set to unveil the first trailer for GTA 6 next month, much to the excitement of fans.
Rockstar's failure to provide official updates on GTA 6 has left fans feeling increasingly frustrated, despite the immense popularity of GTA Online. The tweet from Rockstar, announcing the release of the GTA 6 trailer, has garnered unprecedented attention, emerging as the most favorited gaming tweet to date, accumulating more than 1 million likes and 75 million views.
Rockstar Games, the renowned studio responsible for groundbreaking game franchises like Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption, made Twitter history by announcing that it will release the first trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6 in early October. This announcement comes as September marked the ten-year anniversary of the highly successful Grand Theft Auto 5 and GTA Online, which has consistently maintained a strong and dedicated player base since its launch.
Despite the ongoing success of GTA Online, fans have become increasingly impatient due to the lack of any official news about Grand Theft Auto 6 from Rockstar. The studio's recent mishaps with Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy and the Switch and PS4 ports of Red Dead Redemption have also contributed to a decline in sentiment towards the studio. In the past few years, numerous leaks and rumors have circulated regarding GTA 6's potential setting in Vice City and the inclusion of dual protagonists – one male and one female – but none of these rumors have been confirmed by Rockstar thus far.
Recently, Bloomberg's Jason Schreier revealed that Rockstar is planning to announce Grand Theft Auto 6 next week, with a full trailer to be released in December to coincide with Rockstar's 25th anniversary. Shortly after, Rockstar co-founder Sam Houser confirmed this plan through a simple tweet from the official Rockstar Twitter account. The tweet quickly gained massive traction, reaching 75 million views and accumulating over one million likes. This success can be attributed in part to Rockstar's extensive Twitter following of 17.5 million and the tweet being retweeted 384,000 times.
Additionally, Okami Games, a popular gaming news account, highlighted that this tweet from Rockstar Games has now become the most liked gaming-related tweet of all time. What makes this achievement even more impressive is that the tweet does not contain any images or videos and was the fourth tweet in a thread discussing Rockstar's 25th anniversary. With the highly anticipated release of the first official trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6 just around the corner, it is possible that it may surpass the viewership of any previous reveal trailers by Rockstar. For reference, the reveal trailer for Grand Theft Auto 5 from 2011 has reached an astounding 90 million views, and the initial reveal of their latest title, Red Dead Redemption 2, garnered 22 million views on YouTube.
When Can Fans Expect The Grand Theft Auto 6 Trailer?
There is a possibility that Rockstar may choose to release the highly anticipated reveal trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6 on December 10, coinciding with the studio's 25th anniversary. Considering the immense popularity of the GTA franchise, it has become synonymous with Rockstar. Given the significant time that has passed since the release of GTA 5, it is likely that development is nearing completion or has already concluded. While a confirmed release date or window is yet to be announced, a potential 2024 release is not out of the question. Fans may expect to receive some answers about a month from now.

As a Gen Z fan, I am incredibly excited about the upcoming release of Grand Theft Auto 6. I have been a fan of the series since I was a child, and I have been eagerly awaiting the next installment for years.
The announcement of the trailer release date has only served to increase my excitement. I cannot wait to see what Rockstar has in store for us this time around. I am particularly interested in seeing how they will build upon the success of GTA 5, which is one of the most popular games of all time. I am confident that GTA 6 will be even better than its predecessor, and I cannot wait to get my hands on it.
