Former GTA dev claims Rockstar made him remove his posts about cancelled projects

GTA 6 is already breaking records despite being at least a year away from release.

Grand Theft Auto 6’s first trailer gives fans of the open-world crime franchise a peek at the first new GTA in more than a decade. As impressive as GTA 6 looks, it comes with immense expectations. Its predecessor, Grand Theft Auto 5, is one of the biggest games of all time; Rockstar has sold more than 190 million copies of the game across three console generations, and following that massive success won’t be an easy task.

The Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer is finally out! After nearly a decade of waiting, Rockstar Games has finally released the GTA 6 trailer albeit in a manner it wouldn't have liked. On November 8, the Take-Two Interactive-owned publisher announced that the GTA 6 trailer would be released in early December. And just a few days ago, Rockstar Games set the GTA 6 trailer release date as December 5, 6:00 AM PT. To the company's dismay, the trailer was leaked online before Rockstar could release it. Now, we have a proper first glimpse into the world of GTA 6 (officially called GTA VI), and it confirms what leaks have suggested before.

Rockstar Games is finally revealing information surrounding the release of the highly-anticipated . Over the years, there have been several rumors and plenty of speculation surrounding the title's release date and what platforms the game will come to, and these have finally been confirmed by the studio alongside a trailer for the game.

GTA 6 marks a "new vision" for developer Rockstar Games and the series at large.

The wait is finally over, and perhaps a little prematurely so. Rockstar Games, the publisher of the Grand Theft Auto (GTA) series, promised that they will release the first trailer of GTA 6 today, at 9 AM ET (7:30 PM IST). However, the trailer was leaked online a few hours ago. Once the news broke, Rockstar Games also released the game officially, much ahead of the schedule. The trailer, even when it was dropped unexpectedly, confirms many small details we have seen over the past year, such as the first female protagonist Lucia, and the Vice City setting. Additionally, the trailer also reveals the launch date, or more like the launch year of the game as well.

Rockstar has officially announced GTA VI but the official press release only mentions a 2025 launch for consoles and lacks any mention of the PC version.

GTA 6 trailer has been officially released. The trailer was initially scheduled to go live on December 5 at 9am ET (7:30pm IST). However, it was released 15 hours ahead of schedule following a leak. Grand Theft Auto 5 was introduced in September 2013. Therefore, the anticipation surrounding the GTA 6 trailer, after 10 years of the game's last release, was already soaring. The leak and thereby the preponed release of the game's trailer has sent enthusiasts into a frenzy. The launch timeline and compatible platforms for GTA 6 were also officially announced.

We’re just days away from the reveal trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6 now, but in that final stretch, a brief snippet of gameplay footage and alleged new details on the title have leaked. Shared on TikTok by, curiously enough, a friend of the son of Aaron Garbut – who is the head of development and co-studio head at Rockstar North – the leak briefly shows off-screen recorded footage of some of the game’s environments. The footage was removed not long after it was first leaked online, as was the TikTok account that leaked it, but you can view it below, courtesy of Twitter user @GTAVI_Countdown.

After nearly two years of anticipation and rumors, Rockstar Games has finally delivered what can be the biggest news in gaming this year. The trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6, also known as GTA 6, finally has a release date. This means for the first time since the leaks came out in 2022, we will get to see what the next edition of GTA will be all about. In the leaks, we got some insight into the game development and some new things Rockstar was trying out, but it has been a long time since then, and we believe a lot has changed.

Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer release date is finally upon us, as confirmed by Rockstar Games via a tweet. The first footage from the highly-anticipated crime odyssey sequel will be out on Tuesday, December 5, at 7:30pm IST in India/ 9am ET in the US, with the publisher only posting an image of a sunset and palm tree silhouettes — confirming previous claims that it's set in a fictionalised version of Miami, which franchise veterans might recognise as a return to Vice City. With that, it is clear that Geoff Keighley won't be presenting the trailer at The Game Awards 2023, though a teaser or some screenshot drops are always possible.

The first Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer has a release date: this Tuesday, 5th December at 2pm UK time.
