It’s been six months since the last “GTA 6” trailer took the Internet by storm, so when can you expect the next one? In this article we’re running through the most likely trailer launch date – and there is exciting news.
There are usually a few telltale signs signifying an impending GTA trailer. In this case, one of the signs is developer Rockstar unpinning a previous “GTA 6” trailer on their YouTube page. This suggests it’s making room for the next “GTA 6” trailer. Companies in the past have used the tactic as part of their marketing strategy to put the latest promotional push front and center.
Some fans are even speculating that Rockstar has privately uploaded the “GTA 6” third trailer, ready for it to go live. There is no way for anyone outside Rockstar to know this, however, so right now these are just theories.
It’s worth noting Rockstar has not revealed the release date of GTA 6’s third trailer, or said anything about the game in months, but that doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll need to wait long.
GTA 6 Release Date
Rockstar Games announced “GTA 6” will release on November 19, 2026. It was originally set for May 26, 2026, so this is a delay of roughly six months.
Last week, Rockstar broke the news about the delay. While unfortunate, it’s left fans hopeful a new trailer is coming. That’s because Rockstar released its second “GTA 6” trailer soon after announcing the previous delay, with some fans taking it as a form of apology. That indicates the third “GTA 6” trailer could potentially release any day now. The hype is certainly building.
This is not the first high-profile delay for Rockstar. Both “GTA V” and “Red Dead Redemption 2” also missed their initial release dates, and were still massive successes.
What Will Be in the GTA 6 Trailer?
The new “GTA 6” trailer will likely go into more depth on the game’s story and its characters. Trailer two, which launched in May 2025, was styled more like a movie than a video game, and introduced protagonists Jason and Lucia in a cinematic way. Don’t expect a straight-up run-through of GTA 6’s modes, features or mechanics, like the “Red Dead Redemption 2” gameplay video below, or any shots from the player’s perspective.
GTA 6 Trailer Release Date
There is no official release date for the new “GTA 6” trailer. However, with the previous trailer coming out six months ago, it is expected soon. Many are speculating a late 2025 release for the “GTA 6” third trailer. Keep in mind, the legendary games studio often choses to stealth-drop trailers without warning.
How Many Views Did the GTA 6 Trailer Get?
The first “GTA 6” trailer broke records as the most-viewed trailer ever on YouTube, with 269 million views. It narrowly overtook Marvel’s “Avengers: Infinity War” trailer by just a few thousand. The second “GTA 6” trailer has 139 million views, but it’s been out for six months as opposed to the first “GTA 6” trailer, which came out two years ago.
