Today Is a Sad Day for GTA 6 Fans

Today, May 6, 2026, marks an unfortunate milestone for the Grand Theft Auto 6 community, as it has officially been 365 days since Rockstar Games shared anything significant on its highly anticipated title. While tidbits of information regarding Grand Theft Auto 6 have been shared by Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick in recent months, developer Rockstar Games has been tight-lipped about its next release, with no new trailers, screenshots, or information having been shared for an entire year now.

The wait for Grand Theft Auto 6 has been excruciatingly long. Not only has it been nearly three years since Rockstar released the very first trailer for the next GTA game, but it has been 13 years since the launch of Grand Theft Auto 5 and GTA Online. The two titles have become a huge success, with the latter becoming one of the most popular live service titles of all time. Grand Theft Auto 5‘s success, on the other hand, has been helped along by numerous re-releases over the years. While it was originally a PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 title, GTA 5 has since launched on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, with plenty of visual upgrades coming with each re-release.

To make matters worse, Grand Theft Auto 6 has been delayed multiple times over the past three years, making the wait even longer. The title is currently slated to launch for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S on November 19, 2026, barring there are no further delays. But with the game now less than 200 days away, many are eager to see more. As of today, May 6, 2026, it has officially been one year since Rockstar Games shared anything significant about Grand Theft Auto 6. The game’s second trailer premiered on May 6, 2025, alongside tons of new screenshots and a new website detailing GTA 6‘s locations and characters.

Although it has been an excruciatingly long 365 days since Grand Theft Auto 6‘s second trailer was released, this isn’t even the longest Rockstar has left fans in the dark. For comparison, the wait between Trailer 1 and 2 was a total of 519 days, which is one year, five months, and two days. Thankfully, the wait for Trailer 3 shouldn’t be much longer, with some even speculating that it could arrive as soon as this month.

Take-Two Interactive, which is the parent company of Rockstar Games, has officially scheduled its next quarterly earnings call for May 21, 2026. Although not a guarantee, Rockstar has been known to share trailers, screenshots, or new details regarding its upcoming titles around the same time as one of these earnings calls, in an effort to boost Take-Two’s stocks and please investors. Given that it has now been an entire year since Trailer 2, the month of May seems like it would be the perfect time to share a third trailer for GTA 6 or possibly some additional screenshots.

With that being said, not everyone is convinced that another trailer will arrive this month. Strauss Zelnick has already confirmed that marketing for Grand Theft Auto 6 will begin in the Summer, which technically begins towards the end of June. The CEO also went on record recently and doubled down on the game’s marketing plans, saying that it will begin “soon.” Whether or not Rockstar is waiting for the full marketing campaign to begin before sharing Trailer 3, or if it intends to share it a little earlier, remains a mystery.
