GTA fans are going above and beyond to get a sneak peek of Grand Theft Auto 6 from Rockstar Games. Recently, a viral screenshot from the popular social media site 4chan seemingly contained the release date of the upcoming game’s trailer, along with a few other details. While the text-based image extensively elaborates on Rockstar Games’ plans to reveal the game, the American gaming studio has yet to confirm it.
The player base has largely disregarded the leaks because there is no solid evidence.
UPDATE: On December 1, 2023, Rockstar Games officially announced GTA 6 trailer to be released on December 5, 2023.
GTA 6 trailer release date
On October 16, 2023, a user named PainKiller (X/@PainkillerH20) shared the image in question on X (formerly Twitter). However, the original post was from an anonymous 4chan user, who posted the details on October 15, 2023.
According to the leaked details, Rockstar Games will announce GTA 6 on October 26, 2023. The anonymous user claimed that the trailer was approximately one and a half minutes long and that they watched it twice.
They further added that it had a Latin funk song that included bongos and bass. The Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer video depicts two cars drag racing, wild animals such as alligators and iguanas, horse racing, nightclubs, beach parties, sky diving, police chases, and much more.
The user also claimed that Lucia and Jason, the two rumored protagonists in GTA 6, had the following conversation in the trailer:
Lucia:
“This city has a way of reaching into your guts and stealing your soul that hard way, ya know?”
Jason:
“Yeah, but who needs one of those anyway?”
The post also depicted the new logo of the upcoming Grand Theft Auto game, with the 4chan user stating that it had a purple and pink gradient. However, no release date for the game was disclosed in the trailer.
While the details look intriguing, the player base does not seem impressed. The information did not come from Rockstar Games, and many users have tried to generate hype among fans with fake information about GTA 6's release. Due to these reasons, the community is choosing to remain skeptical and discarding any information that does not come directly from Rockstar Games.
