It's Been 365 Days Since We Last Saw GTA 6 — And Fans Are Getting Restless
May 6, 2026 marks exactly one year since Rockstar Games released the second official GTA 6 trailer. With no third trailer, no gameplay footage, and just six months until the November 19 launch, the community is desperate for any sign from Rockstar — and fans believe Trailer 3 could be imminent.
Key update
It's kind of crazy to think that Grand Theft Auto 6, the game so big it feels like business analysts are putting its success at the center of conversations on the longevity of the video game industry, was once supposed to be out in just a few weeks. Before Rockstar delayed the game to November 19, Grand Theft Auto 6 was supposed to be launching on May 26. The company then announced it wanted another six months to work on the game, and while fans were not happy about it, the company seems pretty confident it won't slip once more. What's also wild is that as of today, May 6, we haven't seen hide nor hair of the game in a full year.
Why it matters
Grand Theft Auto 6 has only had two trailers, and the last one we got premiered on May 6, 2025. With just two minutes and 46 seconds, Rockstar gave fans something to chew on and has been mostly radio silent on the game since. Unsurprisingly, fans who are eagerly anticipating the game have started to gnaw at the bars of their enclosures, desperate for a new look at the life and times of lovers Jason and Lucia.
What to watch
Fans are gathering evidence that a third trailer could be coming any day now. The community has noticed that Rockstar traditionally makes major announcements ahead of Take-Two's earnings calls — trailer two dropped on May 6, 2025, and Take-Two's Q4 2025 earnings followed just nine days later. With Take-Two's next earnings call scheduled for May 21, 2026, fans believe Rockstar could break its silence within weeks.
Context
Though both existing trailers do a good job of setting the tone for the romantic crime drama, we still haven't seen Grand Theft Auto 6 actually being played, even with the game six months away from launch. The wait has been particularly agonizing because Rockstar has released almost no official footage beyond the two cinematic trailers — no gameplay demonstrations, no deep-dive developer walkthroughs, nothing.
Bottom line
The upcoming launch on November 19, 2026 will bring GTA 6 exclusively to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, with the PC version expected sometime in 2027. Rockstar parent company Take-Two has confirmed that a full marketing push will begin in the summer, and analysts expect the game to sell in the range of 20 to 25 million copies on day one alone.
