GTA 6 trailer 3 expected to drop soon after Rockstar updates website three times in four hours

Fans of Grand Theft Auto VI are convinced that Rockstar Games is about to drop the next trailer - and the evidence is piling up. Internet sleuths discovered recent activity on the official GTA VI website and the Rockstar Instagram account, sparking a frenzy among fans that GTA 6 marketing season and the highly anticipated next trailer are arriving in the coming weeks.

X user Videotech discovered the GTA VI site was updated with font and layout changes, the first such update in over a month. Then, Rockstar's Instagram account began following new profiles, which some see as an early step in prepping for a large-scale reveal. Industry insider Tom Henderson predicted the trailer will land around August 6, likely tied to Take-Two's investor call schedule and the need for a final marketing push before the November 19 launch.

It was recently confirmed Take-Two will be holding its shareholders' meeting on September 17, which it will hopefully use as an opportunity to showcase how successful the ongoing marketing for GTA 6 is going, and perhaps some pre-order numbers.

Historically, Rockstar has released multiple trailers as launch day nears, and with only four months left, the pattern suggests we're in the final stretch. To further back that up, Take-Two said that marketing for GTA 6 will begin in the Summer, and with August being the last month of the summer, it seems like Rockstar and Take-Two are running out of time to delay any longer.

Notably, this is all going to plan, as Take-Two's CEO Strauss Zelnick previously stated that GTA 6's marketing strategy is short and impactful, meaning Take-Two and Rockstar are waiting until the last minute to kick things off, but once it begins, we are going to be swamped with GTA 6 marketing all the way until the launch.
