Fans were hoping for a new trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6, but Rockstar surprised everyone with a post about an event in Red Dead Online instead. This sparked a lot of reactions online, as many believed today was the day for more GTA 6 news.
Rockstar hasn’t said when they’ll reveal more about GTA 6, which is set to launch on November 19, 2026. Although there have been delays, hints from Take-Two Interactive, Rockstar’s parent company, suggest that this launch date will likely hold. Straus Zelnick, the company’s CEO, mentioned that marketing will pick up this summer, so anticipation is building.
Fans have noticed patterns with trailer releases. The second trailer came out on May 6, 2025, just nine days before Take-Two’s earnings report. Today, May 12, is also nine days before their next financial report. While it’s just speculation, it keeps hopes alive.
Social media exploded with comments after Rockstar’s recent tweet. In under half an hour, there were over 5,800 responses, filled with memes and frustration. One user tweeted, “STOP TROLLING,” capturing the mood perfectly.
Adding fuel to the fire, many received emails from Sony promoting PlayStation 5 upgrades to play GTA 6. This led to more excitement, especially since Rockstar hinted at a “big” GTA Online update coming this summer. Some speculate this could be the last update before the launch of GTA 6.
Recent estimates suggest that GTA 6 might end up being the most expensive video game ever made, costing between $1 billion and $1.5 billion during its development. This number raises questions about the game’s final price upon release.
The buildup around GTA 6 shows how dedicated fans are. As players eagerly await news, the conversation about the game continues to grow, demonstrating the lasting impact of the franchise on gaming culture.
