No need to rub your eyes, it’s actually going to happen and the information comes directly from Rockstar. As various trade media reported this morning, Rockstar Newswire, the company’s official blog, states that a first (real) preview of the new Grand Theft Auto will be released in December. Rockstar calls the game “the next Grand Theft Auto,” so we don’t even know if it’s actually called Grand Theft Auto 6.
“We are very pleased to announce that we will be releasing the first trailer for the next Grand Theft Auto in early December,” it reads. “We look forward to sharing these experiences with you in the years to come.” It was Sam Houser himself who shared the message.

The game could therefore be revealed during the Rockstar company’s 25th anniversary, which takes place next month. The preview could also be revealed during the Game Awards on December 7th, but gaining such exclusivity would be quite a feat for Geoff Keighley, the event’s creator. In my opinion, Rockstar will do its own reveal and players will be there no matter where it happens.
It should be noted that Rockstar was the target of massive leaks of Grand Theft Auto content in 2022. More than 90 videos circulated all over the Internet and a young hacker was arrested. At the time, it was one of the biggest leaks in video game history, and Rockstar had confirmed its authenticity.
Another rumor circulating around GTA 6 suggests that the release window will be between April 2024 and March 2025, explains IGN. The source of this rumor is an interpretation of the prediction of huge financial gains by Take-Two, the game’s publisher, which would be difficult to achieve without a major boost to the already profitable franchise.
One thing is for sure: the new GTA is coming and we will finally get a preview of the game in December. It’s all that matters!
