After Grand Theft Auto V (2013), GTA 6 is slated to be the eighth main Grand Theft Auto game and the sixteenth overall. In February 2022, Rockstar formally confirmed the game’s development, ending years of speculation and leaks.
In August of last year, Take-Two told investors that it anticipated a “significant inflection point” in its fiscal year 2025. This suggests that Grand Theft Auto 6 will be released anytime between April 1, 2024, and March 31, 2025, according to analysts’ calculations.
Fans have since then been waiting for the trailer announcement, and Rockstar Games finally made it public on X. The community and fans have been waiting impatiently for the GTA 6 trailer since Rockstar said that it would debut in early December.
