Story Highlight
  • Fans have used past Rockstar marketing trends to develop a timeline for GTA 6 marketing.
  • They estimate a new trailer by the end of 2024, with screenshots arriving before that.
  • The first half of 2025 should be busy due to new information, trailers, and screenshots.

GTA 6 has not reappeared after its first trailer in seven months. In typical Rockstar fashion, the studio has remained tight-lipped about its next game, leaving fans to come up with potential answers.

With Rockstar’s marketing expected to kick off sooner or later, fans have theorized potential dates based on the team’s history. According to previous trends, GTA 6 will soon receive many new details.

Why it matters: The first trailer already broke various records and became one of YouTube’s most-watched videos. In the coming months, the excitement will be felt in each new marketing piece from the studio.

The image above predicts Rockstar’s plans for GTA 6. If the pattern holds, fans may soon receive another look at the game through screenshots, followed by the official second trailer.

Once this trailer arrives, Rockstar’s marketing should begin to ramp up. GTA 6 will be less than a full year away by late 2024, so the team will reduce the gap between new trailers, screenshots, and blog posts.

The timeline predicts plenty of activity for the first half of 2025, with Rockstar seemingly revealing the release date, official cover art, and the third trailer. As said earlier, this information is based on past trends.

Therefore, fans have estimated this timeline using Rockstar’s GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2 marketing plans. Both games launched in the Fall and were first shown off close to the end of 2011 and 2016, respectively.

GTA 6 is on track to launch in Fall 2025. The game is shaping up to be the industry’s biggest release in more than a decade, marking an exciting time for everyone involved.

GTA has always appealed to the masses, and its upcoming entry should be no different. While there’s certainly a long time until Fall 2025, Rockstar’s upcoming marketing should make the wait a bit less painful.
