Ex-Rockstar technical lead Obbe Vermeij recently commented on the anticipation surrounding GTA 6, suggesting that he would not release any additional trailers ahead of the game’s launch. As Grand Theft Auto 4 celebrates its 17th anniversary, Vermeij reminisced about the development of the previous title and indicated that maintaining a level of secrecy could enhance the excitement surrounding GTA 6’s release. He believes that the current hype is sufficient and that surprising fans with the launch rather than a slew of trailers would be a "boss move." This aligns with Take-Two's current marketing strategy, which aims to create a massive impact upon release.
nWill there be more trailers for GTA 6 before its release?While no official confirmation exists, Obbe Vermeij suggests that Rockstar may choose to avoid additional trailers, focusing instead on creating a surprising and impactful launch event.

Honestly, Rockstar playing it cool with fewer trailers is a power move—imagine the hype when GTA 6 finally drops with zero warning. It’s like they’re treating the launch like an actual heist, and I’m here for the chaos.
That said, I wouldn’t be shocked if they still drop *one* more trailer—just to send fans into total meltdown mode before release. Either way, the anticipation is already at max levels.
