Update (November 7, 2023, 14:02 CET): Rockstar has confirmed that the GTA 6 trailer will be released in early December 2023.


Original (November 7, 2023, 8:56 CET): Randoms on the internet have been claiming new things about the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto 6 basically every day, but this latest piece of information does not come from someone’s wife’s lover’s brother who totally works at Rockstar Games – Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier has now reported that a GTA 6 trailer is planned to be dropped in December 2023, while the official announcement of the game will happen in the ongoing week.

Publisher Take-Two will publish its latest earnings report on November 9, 2023, which includes an earnings conference call – that could potentially be the time and place where the news will first be shared.

As for the trailer, Schreier reported that Rockstar is planning to release it as a celebration of its own anniversary. That occasion will come on December 1, 2023, marking the first day of the month as a possible date for the trailer. Another option are The Game Awards, which are set to take place on December 7, 2023. The show is a popular place to announce new games and get as many eyeballs on the trailer as possible, but of course a game with as much hype around it as GTA 6 doesn’t necessarily need that extra publicity.

In any case, GTA 6 is probably the most anticipated game on the planet at the moment and the rumor mill around it has been grinding for years at this point – with very little credible information creeping through the cracks of Rockstar’s fortress. No wonder, since Rockstar’s NDAs are even more strict than Marvel’s, according to a Red Dead Redemption voice actor.

The most reliable nugget of information regards the game’s setting, which is supposedly a place fans have visited in the past: a modernized version of Vice City, based on Miami. As for the rest: We all have to stay patient – but probably not for long anymore.
