Summary
A new rumor from a reliable source claims that the highly anticipated second trailer forGrand Theft Auto 6will release in early April, which would make it over 480 days since the release of the game’s first trailer. As of writing,Grand Theft Auto 6is slated for a Fall 2025 release, but the only concrete information fans have surrounding the game came with its first trailer back in December 2023. Since then, Rockstar Games has remained tight-lipped on what will undoubtedly be the biggest release of the year.
For well over a year now, fans have been theorizing on whenGrand Theft Auto 6’s second trailer will be released. One of the most popular theories that gained traction revolved around the moon. To be more specific, the exact phase of the moon seen in various promotional images forGrand Theft Auto Online. Fans firmly believed that Rockstar Games was teasing the release date for trailer two via moon phases that corresponded with real-world dates. Of course, this was just one of the many wildGrand Theft Auto 6trailer theories to be debunked, but now a new theory (with much more credibility) could have finally nailed down a date for the second trailer.
GTA 6’s Second Trailer May Be Closer Than You Think
According to GTA VI O’Clock, which consists of some of the most respected content creators and journalists within theGrand Theft Autocommunity,Grand Theft Auto 6’s second trailercould arrive in early April. As part of the team’s very, GTA VI O’Clock discussed the long wait between trailer one and trailer two. They note that Rockstar Games' usual marketing campaign kicks off around six months before a big release, which would suggest a late March/early April release date for the game’s second trailer. They then noted that they have had a “credible tip off” which claimedGrand Theft Auto 6’s second trailer will release in April.
The long wait between trailers has led some fans to believe a delay for the title is imminent. However, the good news is that Rockstar Games' parent company, Take-Two Interactive, recently shared apromising update forGrand Theft Auto 6’s scheduled release window, reaffirming that the title will still be launching in Fall 2025. Take Two’s CEO Strauss Zelnick did admit that slippage is always possible, but clearly remained confident in Rockstar Games' ability to getGrand Theft Auto 6out the door later this year.
Aside from a Fall 2025 launch window, a firm release date has yet to be set by Rockstar. With that being said, fans do believe they’venarrowed downGrand Theft Auto 6’s launch datethanks toBorderlands 4. While separate studios develop both titles, they are both owned by Take-Two Interactive. WithBorderlands 4recently confirming that it will release in September 2025, many fans speculated that this setsGrand Theft Auto 6up with a late October/early November release date, as Take-Two likely won’t want the two titles releasing too close to each other.
