Rockstar Games has revealed that the first official trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6 will be released in December 2023. This announcement came through a post on the Rockstar Newswire, where they shared their excitement for the upcoming reveal. Although a full reveal was expected earlier, the confirmation of the trailer has now been set for early December, during a significant time as the studio also marks its 25th anniversary.

The timing suggests that the trailer may be released in conjunction with The Game Awards on December 7, although Rockstar has not confirmed this. Rockstar expressed gratitude to its players for their support and reiterated the company's foundational ethos to create video games that are culturally significant.

GTA 6 has been a hot topic since Grand Theft Auto 5's release over a decade ago. The game was officially confirmed to be in development in a 2022 press release. That year, leaked in-development footage of the game led to the arrest of a British teenager involved in the hacking incident. Financial projections from Take-Two Interactive suggest a possible release window for GTA 6 between April 2024 and March 2025, anticipating significant earnings from the franchise's next installment.
