GTA 6: Rockstar’s Most Controversial Milestone Yet

GTA 6: Rockstar’s Most Controversial Milestone Yet

Grand Theft Auto 6 has now set a record for the longest wait between its initial reveal and the release of a second trailer among all Rockstar Games titles. The first GTA 6 trailer, released in early December 2023, made waves as one of the most anticipated game reveals in history. However, over a year has passed since that debut, and Rockstar’s extended silence has surpassed the gaps seen with GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2.

Fans quickly began theorizing about the potential release date for Trailer 2, with many speculations based on Rockstar’s previous marketing timelines. Both GTA 5 and RDR 2 saw their second trailers drop roughly one year after their initial reveals, leading many to expect a similar schedule for GTA 6.

Despite these expectations, there has been no sign of GTA 6’s second trailer, even as the wait stretches to over 379 days. This officially breaks the previous record set by GTA 5, which had a 378-day gap between its first and second trailers. Red Dead Redemption 2 followed a slightly shorter timeline, with 343 days between its trailers. The milestone was highlighted by Twitter user GTAVI_Countdown, who has been meticulously tracking Rockstar’s prolonged timeline for releasing Trailer 2.

GTA 6’s Trailer Gap: A Record-Breaking Wait for Fans

• GTA 6: 379 days and counting since Trailer 1
• GTA 5: 378 days between first and second trailers
• Red Dead Redemption 2: 343 days between first and second trailers

The situation surrounding GTA 6 has become even more frustrating for fans, as Rockstar previously shared in-game screenshots for both GTA 5 and RDR 2 ahead of their second trailers. In contrast, Rockstar has remained completely silent about GTA 6, providing no new details, images, or artwork since the release of Trailer 1 last year. Throughout 2024, the only significant official update was the confirmation of a fall 2025 release window.

With 2024 nearing its end, the likelihood of seeing GTA 6’s second trailer this year appears slim. This has led to some speculation about a potential delay to 2026. However, Rockstar and Take-Two have consistently reassured shareholders that GTA 6 is still on track for its fall 2025 release. Even so, deadlines for large-scale AAA projects can be unpredictable. Fans are hoping Rockstar will break its silence soon and provide clarity on the game’s progress.
