GTA 6 Trailer Delay Breaks Rockstar Record
The wait for the second GTA 6 trailer has officially surpassed the wait times for the second trailers of both GTA V and Red Dead Redemption II, setting a new record for Rockstar Games. Over 380 days have passed since the first GTA 6 trailer dropped on December 4, 2023.
A Record-Breaking Delay
GTA V’s first and second trailers were 378 days apart, while Red Dead Redemption II’s were 343 days apart. The current wait for GTA 6’s second trailer significantly exceeds both. Fans are eagerly anticipating any news, clinging to any hint of information about a potential release date.
Take-Two’s Strauss Zelnick acknowledges fan frustration but insists Rockstar will only release GTA VI when it’s ready. While Rockstar has a history of holiday releases (like the GTA V screens in 2012), there’s currently no indication of a new GTA VI release before the end of 2024.
Release Date and Setting
GTA VI is slated for a Fall 2025 release, a window Take-Two has repeatedly confirmed. This follows a pattern; every Rockstar title in the past decade has seen delays. The game returns to Vice City (a Miami stand-in), focusing on two main characters, hinting at a Bonnie and Clyde-esque storyline.
