Exploring the myths regarding new GTA 6 details coming on October 4

On July 29, 2024, the fan account shared the above post that fueled the GTA 6 rumor. According to them, Rockstar Games used the Pegassi Pizza Boy scooter’s license plate to tease the release date of the title's second trailer.

As per their claim, the license plate showed October, which is the month of the next Grand Theft Auto 6 update. And the '4' replacing the letter A in PIZZA hinted at the date.

Readers should note that vehicle license plates with October on them have been a part of Grand Theft Auto 5 and Grand Theft Auto Online since their launch in 2013. Therefore, there is no solid ground to believe that the GTA 6 trailer 2 will be released in October. The 4 replacing the A is a classic style that both Grand Theft Auto fans and Rockstar Games frequently use to customize number plates.

Moreover, this X account is known for several bogus claims in the past. While a few of their guesses have come true, they were almost always mere coincidences. That being said, the rumor went viral on X and Reddit, with many fans straightforwardly denouncing it.

Popular Grand Theft Auto 5 voice actor Ned Luke (X/@ned_luke) jokingly commented that it was an early birthday wish for him from Rockstar Games.

A Redditor named Alex (u/ContentWhile) commented that the license plate was the least crazy GTA 6 fan theory compared to the moon phase theory.

Another Redditor named aradexxedara (u/aradexxedara) theorized that October 4 could be the release date of the game. They stated:

“Or...it's the release date for GTA 6 in 2025. Either is definitely plausible”

Readers should note that as per Take-Two Interactive’s latest statement, Grand Theft Auto 6 will be released in Fall 2025. However, a definite date is yet to be fixed, as the game is still under development.

While a new trailer and Grand Theft Auto 6 release date announcement is expected towards the end of this year, it is highly unlikely that the Pizza scooter license plate has any hidden references.
