Fans eagerly waiting for the second trailer of GTA 6 felt a wave of disappointment when Rockstar Games tweeted about a holiday sale instead. Many have concocted theories regarding the release date of the much-anticipated trailer, but none have hit the mark yet. Although there’s a sliver of a chance that Trailer 2 could still drop on December 27, fans are advised to keep their expectations in check.
Rockstar Games’ latest tweet didn’t bring much joy to the Grand Theft Auto community. This single tweet sparked considerable discontent as eager players yearned for more insights into the game. Despite being possibly the most hyped game ever, information about Grand Theft Auto 6 remains as elusive as ever. Only one trailer has seen the light of day, and official updates from Rockstar have been sparse.
Amidst this silence, fans have been diving deep into guesses and conspiracies about when they might finally get to see GTA 6’s next trailer. Sadly, these speculative dates have come and gone without any reveal. The latest theory, which seemed to have some substance, targeted December 27. But with the sun already up on that date and no sign of a new trailer, those who had hoped are understandably deflated.
On social media, Grand Theft Auto fans didn’t hesitate to express their frustration following Rockstar’s recent tweet. Instead of unveiling GTA 6 Trailer 2, Rockstar promoted their store’s holiday sale, offering deals on titles like Red Dead Redemption, GTA V, and GTA IV, along with some Rockstar merchandise. This sale is set to run until January 7. The tweet was quickly flooded with responses full of disappointment and disbelief, especially since, humorously, the numbers in the shop link add up to 27, the theorized date for the trailer drop.
As it’s still December 27 at the time of this writing, there’s a remote possibility that Trailer 2 might still be released today. However, fans are cautioned against holding their breath. As enticing as the December 27 theory was, tempering expectations is wise, not just for the trailer, but for any major updates regarding GTA 6.
It’s quite understandable why the fan base is growing restless. The gap between trailers has been the longest we’ve ever seen for any Rockstar release, and as of now, there doesn’t seem to be a light at the end of the tunnel. If the slated release for GTA 6 is indeed in the fall of 2025, one would expect Rockstar’s promotional efforts to ramp up heavily next year, assuming a new trailer doesn’t surface before 2024 wraps up.
