Grand Theft Auto 6 has surpassed an unfortunate milestone, becoming the first Rockstar Games title to go over 270 days without any new details from the studio. Grand Theft Auto 6 was first shown to the world in a massive reveal trailer on December 4, 2023, but no new screenshots, trailers, or details on the highly anticipated title have been shared since.
With Grand Theft Auto 6 undoubtedly being one of the most anticipated releases in video game history, fans are eager to see more of the game after its epic trailer in 2023. Currently, Rockstar Games’ parent company, Take-Two Interactive, states that Grand Theft Auto 6 will release in Fall 2025. While plenty of rumors of a delay have been circulating in recent weeks, the company recently reaffirmed the release window during a Q1 fiscal year 2025 conference, with Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick saying that “momentum continues to build” ahead of the game’s Fall 2025 release.
Over on Reddit, the Rockstar Games community has noticed that Grand Theft Auto 6 has become the first of the studio’s titles to go over 270 days without any new information being revealed. For reference, Grand Theft Auto 5 previously held the record at 253 days, with the first official trailer being released on November 2, 2011, followed by the release of two new screenshots on July 12, 2012. Although Rockstar did drip-feed new screenshots to the community throughout 2012, it took a full year for the game’s second trailer to be released.
Grand Theft Auto 6 Fans Continue to Wait for News
The conversation sparked by this unfortunate milestone brought mixed reactions from the community, with some jokingly stating that the long gap is Rockstar “punishing” the community for the Grand Theft Auto 6 leaks in 2022. Other users believe that Rockstar Games is intentionally remaining quiet on the next Grand Theft Auto game as the studio knows the longer it leaves between will generate even more hype for the game. Some have even speculated that the first trailer could have been released “way before” Rockstar originally intended.
While almost everyone in the community is eager to see more of Grand Theft Auto 6, the huge gap between news is, unfortunately, resulting in rumors of delays. In early September, a Twitter user claimed that inside sources had revealed to them that Grand Theft Auto 6 was going to be delayed to 2026. Thankfully, this rumor was quickly shut down by renowned journalist Jason Schreier, who said six different staff members at Rockstar were not informed of a delay. Further reassurance then came from Take-Two Interactive when the studio doubled down on the Fall 2025 release date shortly after.
Nevertheless, with 2025 fast approaching, there’s a strong chance that either a second trailer or the first official screenshots will be released by Rockstar in the coming months. Fans are becoming so desperate for another look at the title that wild theories surrounding the date of Grand Theft Auto 6‘s second trailer are being thrown around regularly. But with it now being the longest gap between news in Rockstar Games history, there’s hope that fans won’t need to wait much longer.
