GTA 6’s official announcement is still in a state of mystery

Unfortunately, there is no definitive answer to the question on the subject. GTA 6’s trailer and release date announcement would depend entirely on Rockstar Games, and until the studio makes an official statement, the game's release date remains a mystery.

However, following the September 2022 Grand Theft Auto 6 gameplay leaks, insiders have constantly been trying to gather more information about the game, with a few announcement-related leaks surfacing.

The first hint about the announcement period came after Take-Two Interactive, Rockstar Games' parent company, held its Q3 earnings call. On February 7, 2023, Gaming Detective (Twitter/@that1detectiv3), a well-known game data miner and insider, stated that the gaming studio could release GTA 6 between 2024 and 2025.

During the earnings call, Take-Two Interactive did not mention the upcoming game but stated that Rockstar Games would continue to support Grand Theft Auto Online. The popular multiplayer game will receive more DLCs before official support is terminated.

A few days later, on March 5, 2023, Tez2 (Twitter/@TezFunz2), a well-known insider, stated that Rockstar Games intends to release the next untitled Grand Theft Auto game in late 2024 or early 2025. They elaborated by saying:

“Their aimed-always-changing-not-set-in-stone deadline is holiday 2024. Which has been pushed back multiple times the past few years. Unfortunately, it could slip into early 2025 as well.”

This gave players and fans a release date window for the release of GTA 6. However, Rockstar Games is known for announcing major projects a year before release. On March 10, 2023, Tez2 revealed that the studio is planning to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Grand Theft Auto 5 and Online in grand style and that the upcoming game could be announced then.
