GTA 6: Everything We Know - News, Leaks, and Pre-Trailer Intel
10.11.2023 - 20:33 / ign.com / Dan Houser / Leslie Benzies / Sam Houser
After years of yearning from fans, intense speculation, rumors, unthinkably massive data breaches, and even an FBI Investigation, co-founder and President of Rockstar Games Sam Houser posted on the studio blog and Twitter account on November 8th that the “first trailer for the next Grand Theft Auto” will be released in early December.
We are very excited to let you know that in early December, we will release the first trailer for the next Grand Theft Auto. We look forward to many more years of sharing these experiences with all of you.
Thank you,
Sam Houser
In just a few hours, the tweet had nearly a hundred million views, almost five hundred thousand retweets, and over one million likes. All for an announcement of an announcement.
But how did hype for the next entry in the vaunted series reach such a fever pitch? Let’s take a look at everything we know about Grand Theft Auto 6.
While we didn’t get any concrete details about GTA 6 until a report from Kotaku in 2020, there have been murmurings about GTA 6 for over a decade - before GTA 5 was even released. Between hypothetical comments from the newly-departed former president of Rockstar North, Leslie Benzies, in interviews with Digital Trends in 2012, and a TechRadar report in 2016 claiming that GTA 6 was in development, there’s been a quiet simmering of GTA 6 rumors in the background ever since the launch of Grand Theft Auto V.
That simmering turned into a slow boil when co-founder of Rockstar Games and brother to Sam, Dan Houser, spoke about the difficulty of satirizing the then-present day, stranger-than-fiction landscape: “[It’s] really unclear what we would even do with [Grand Theft Auto 6], let alone how upset people would get with whatever we did.”
Dan Houser’s (probably very honest) deflections aside, with the abundance of rumors and insider reports, it’s safe to assume some version of GTA 6 was always in at least pre-production at Rockstar since the release of Grand Theft Auto V. But we first heard reliably that GTA 6 was in development from a 2020 Kotaku report, published only a few short months after the departure of Dan Houser from the studio.
While this report was primarily focused on Rockstar’s workplace culture, it mentioned that the next GTA game was “early in development," something confirmed to IGN by an anonymous source close to Rockstar Games. The report also mentioned a possible decrease in scope to help alleviate crunch, with larger title and map updates to be released at a future date.
While a few more leaks and rumors would arise in the next two years, it wasn't until February 2022 that Rockstar sent out a press release announcing that development on the next GTA game was “well underway.” A decade’s worth of smoke had finally led to a

GTA 6 Trailer Countdown: Rockstar Games Removes ‘Social Club’ Branding From Site Ahead of Release
Rockstar has removed the Social Club branding from its website, presumably in anticipation of GTA 6. As per the news account @videotechuk_ on Twitter, the publisher has replaced the nomenclature with simply ‘Rockstar Games' and scrapped any references to ‘Social Club members.' The online gaming service is also missing the old logo now, though players can still engage in multiplayer elements and accrue member-exclusive rewards from games like Grand Theft Auto V and Red Dead Redemption 2. For now, it's unclear whether Rockstar would launch a new platform or simply update the existing application to usher in the new era, but traces of the branding still remain in-game.

Rockstar once planned a zombie island survival game using GTA: Vice City code, but it was too "depressing"
GTA 6 developer Rockstar Games were once working on a zombie survival game set on a Scottish island, which sounds like a mixture of GTA: Vice City and legendary Arma mod DayZ. That's according to former technical director Obbe Vermeij, who joined Rockstar North in 1995 back when it was called DMA Design, and left in 2009 following the release of GTA 4. In the run-up to the GTA 6 trailer reveal this month, he's started blogging about the development of several Rockstar games, from GTA through grotty snuff film simulator Manhunt to cancelled projects such as the zombie title and Cold War stealth fest Agent.

Rockstar Games’ Leaked Database Allegedly Hints at Scrapped GTA 5 Story DLC and Bully Sequel
Rockstar Games, makers of the incredibly popular Grand Theft Auto series, finally announced earlier this month that they would officially reveal GTA 6 in December. In a series of posts from Rockstar's X account, studio co-founder Sam Houser confirmed that the much-awaited trailer for GTA 6 would arrive in December. A new leak, however, has unearthed evidence about scrapped story DLC for Grand Theft Auto 5. First released in 2013, GTA 5 still features on best-selling charts every month a decade into its run, thanks to GTA Online's thriving success and massive player base. Despite demand from fans, the main game never received a story expansion, with Rockstar instead opting to provide regular updates to the money-spinning online mode. The leak also reveals a canned sequel to 2006's Bully, a cult favourite title from Rockstar that never received a follow-up.
