Fans who expect Rockstar to drop Grand Theft Auto 6<\/a> Trailer 3 today have reacted in dismay at a new social post from the company \u2014 advertising a new event in Red Dead Online.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

A sizable portion of the internet believes today is the day Rockstar finally shows more of GTA 6, for reasons we’ll get onto in a minute. And so when Rockstar instead posted about something else instead… well, you can imagine the responses. <\/p>\n

Rockstar is yet to make any announcement about when it will show more of GTA 6, which is still currently set for launch on November 19, 2026 following numerous high-profile delays. But the smoke signals coming out of Rockstar’s parent company Take-Two Interactive suggest this really will be the game’s final launch date, as its boss Straus Zelnick has said he expects GTA 6 marketing efforts to ramp up this summer<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Why today for GTA 6 Trailer 3? Fans keen on spotting patterns have pointed to GTA 6 Trailer 2 dropping last year on May 6, 2025 \u2014 nine days before the publication of Take-Two’s financial earnings. Today, May 12, is now also nine days before the publication of Take-Two’s next financial earnings. And that’s about as concrete as that theory gets. <\/p>\n

Still, this hasn’t stopped the internet from responding to Rockstar’s latest tweet with a stream of messages and memes. Indeed, in less than half an hour, the post has had 5,800 comments.<\/p>\n

Excitement to see more of Grand Theft Auto 6 is at fever pitch, as fans reported receiving marketing emails from Sony about upgrading to PlayStation 5 in order to play GTA 6<\/a> over the weekend. Rumors of an impending announcement were only fuelled further by the emails, sent to PS4 owners who had the game on their PlayStation Store wishlists. This followed a recent announcement by Rockstar of an “exciting” new GTA Online update to be released this summer<\/a>, sparking speculation that it could be the service’s last before GTA 6 launches. <\/p>\n

Last week, one report stated that GTA 6 would likely be the most expensive video game ever made<\/a>, with parent company Take-Two estimated to have spent $1 billion to $1.5 billion so far, as debate swirls over exactly how much GTA 6 will cost<\/a> when it does finally arrive.<\/p>\n
