While the Game of the Year race is heating up—with strong contenders like Split Fiction already making waves, and highly anticipated releases of Death Stranding and DOOM on the horizon—one title reigns supreme in anticipation: Grand Theft Auto VI. The burning questions on everyone's mind are: When will the next trailer drop? What's the official release date? And what exciting new features await us? It's been over a year since Rockstar Games unveiled their first—and only—teaser, leaving fans hungry for more. Throughout 2024, radio silence from the developers only fueled the speculation.
GTA VI O’Clock, a reputable Grand Theft Auto news channel run by gaming journalist Dan Dawkins, offers some insight. Based on Rockstar's historical marketing patterns, they predict the next trailer will arrive in the coming weeks. A Fall 2025 release, as previously hinted by Take-Two, suggests a March or April trailer unveiling, followed by an intensive 5-6 month marketing campaign—mirroring Rockstar's strategies for past titles.
GTA VI O’Clock speculates an early April debut for the new trailer. However, given the rampant fan theories and swirling rumors, it's wise to await an official announcement rather than pinning hopes on a specific date.
