It’s been quite a long time since Rockstar Games released the record-breaking trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI and fans have been vocally losing patience. Since the teaser dropped back in December 2023, there haven’t been any big updates. All we have got are inaccurate leaks, false rumours and lots of fan theories. Not to swell hopes, but there’s a good chance that could change soon.

New Trailer In May 2025?

Right now, the only official info we have is that GTA 6 is set to launch in Fall 2025 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and Series S. Rockstar’s parent company, Take-Two Interactive, held a financial earnings call in February, and their next one is scheduled for May 15, 2025. This has fans speculating that we might get some fresh GTA 6 news on that date.

There’s also buzz about a second trailer dropping around that time or at the very least, some new screenshots. On X (formerly Twitter), fans are speculating that Rockstar will wait until after the May 15 earnings call to release anything new.

According to X user @GameRollGTA, Borderlands 4 is expected to get its own State of Play, and the next Mafia game is rumoured to have a showcase on May 8. If those titles are getting major updates, many believe Rockstar will give GTA 6 a similar spotlight soon after.

Seriously starting to doubt that we’ll get GTA 6 news before Take Two’s call on May 15th.

Borderlands 4 is getting its own State of Play pretty soon and Mafia is getting its own presentation on May 8th.

There’s also some chatter about the overall release timeline. One report suggested that Mafia: The Old Country could launch in August, while Borderlands 4 and NBA 2K26 may drop in September. Since August and September are already crowded, fans think Rockstar might go for a November 2025 release for GTA 6 to avoid competition and maximize sales.

In the meantime, it seems fans are rewatching the original GTA 6 trailer, which now has over 250 million views and more than one million comments on YouTube.

Here’s the trailer, if you haven’t seen it already –

Take-Two CEO On Tariffs and Game Pricing

While Rockstar keeps things quiet, Take-Two’s CEO Strauss Zelnick did speak up about a few important things like pricing and international trade concerns.

In an interview with GamesIndustry, Zelnick talked about tariffs and whether they could push the price of GTA 6 even higher than the already-debated $70 mark. “Like everyone else in business, I’m somewhat concerned about the possibility of trade wars,” Zelnick said.

“But I’m encouraged that we seem to be avoiding those with Mexico and Canada through discussion and negotiation, and I’m cautiously optimistic that that will lead to a good result,” he added.

He also mentioned the Entertainment Software Association (ESA), saying the gaming industry is working with policymakers to avoid trade issues. Some are hopeful the industry will get the same kind of support Apple has received in similar situations.
