Since GTA 6 was announced in 2022, fans have analyzed every Rockstar move for clues about the next trailer. This has led to theories based on GTA Online promos and moon cycles, but some evidence suggests Rockstar has hidden teasers in past announcements.
Following pre-orders opening last month, the next big question is when the third trailer will arrive ahead of the November launch.
Is GTA 6 definitely getting another trailer?
In truth, no one knows. Standard game marketing dictates another trailer is inevitable, but GTA 6 may not need any marketing to be a success. Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick has discussed marketing plans for the sequel, which presumably involve a new trailer.
What trailers and announcements have been made so far?
The game was originally slated for autumn 2025, then pushed back to May 26, 2026, and again to November 19, 2026. Key announcements include: original announcement on February 4, 2022; Trailer 1 on December 5, 2023; Trailer 2 on May 6, 2025; cover art reveal on June 18, 2026; pre-orders start on June 25, 2026; release date November 19, 2026.
When will Trailer 3 be released?
Some fans believe the next trailer could arrive in early August, based on Take-Two's earnings call on Friday, August 7. However, earnings calls have rarely lined up with notable GTA 6 announcements. The cover art and pre-order reveals came weeks after the last earnings call on May 21, 2026.
Looking at GTA 5's marketing, that game had five trailers before its launch on September 17, 2023, including a five-minute gameplay video released on July 9, 2023, roughly two months before launch. A one-minute cinematic trailer followed on August 29, three weeks before launch. Based on this logic, a gameplay video for GTA 6 could arrive in September, two months before its November 19 launch. However, another trailer could drop anytime between now and November 19, 2026.
Do we know when the next GTA Online will come out?
Rockstar hasn't announced anything regarding the online component for GTA 6, although it described the latter as a 'single-player experience', so it's assumed this will be released at a later date. GTA Online was released two weeks after GTA 5's launch, but it's unclear if Rockstar will follow the same rollout.
Where can I pre-order GTA 6?
GTA 6 is available to pre-order now on PlayStation and Xbox stores. The standard edition costs £69.99 and the Ultimate Edition costs £89.99. A boxed copy of the standard version is available from Argos and Amazon at £67.99.
