After teasing a GTA 6 trailer in November 2023, Rockstar finally announced when they’ll air the first look at the long-awaited action game. You can watch it on Dec. 5, 2023, at:
- 9 a.m. ET
- 6 a.m. PT
- 2 p.m. GMT
The Twitter post where Rockstar announced the GTA 6 trailer didn’t include any links, so the trailer will likely air on Twitter or Rockstar’s website, or both.

“In 1998, Rockstar Games was founded on the idea that video games could come to be as essential to culture as any other form of entertainment, and we hope that we have created games you love in our efforts to be part of that evolution,” Rockstar said in the trailer announcement at the time. “Thanks to the incredible support of our players worldwide, we have had the opportunity to create games we are truly passionate about — without you, none of this would be possible, and we are so grateful to all of you for sharing this journey with us.”
Rockstar called it “GTA 6 Trailer 1,” so if you’re hoping for a shadow drop or a not-too-distant release date – don’t. Take-Two suggested it will release sometime in its next fiscal year, which starts in April 2024. A summer release seems likely, assuming there are no additional delays and development problems, but this is Rockstar, so it’s anyone’s guess.
Whatever the case, at least the trailer is a sign that progress is finally happening. Rumors about GTA 6 started swirling since GTA 5 launched in 2013, and unconfirmed reports suggested that the crime game underwent several changes during development, as Rockstar struggled to find a direction for it.
