With the amount of hype surrounding Rockstar Games titles, particularly, now is the perfect time for the company to present its own showcase. Other major companies started having their own showcases, such as PlayStation's State of Plays, Nintendo's Nintendo Directs, and the Xbox & Bethesda joint showcases of recent years, the latter of which was used to provide an in-depth look at in June 2023.
These showcases proved to be a great way to keep players up to date with multiple upcoming titles without needing to wait for major events such as E3, which sadly has been canceled in recent years and shows no sign of returning. Rockstar previously uploaded its reveal trailers for and directly to YouTube in 2011 and 2018 respectively, two years before their release dates. Since then, however, Rockstar has opted to reveal some of its products via other companies' showcases in recent years, with trailers for its PS5 and Xbox Series X remaster of shown at the PlayStation Showcase.

In September 2022, 90 leaked early-development videos revealed some new mechanics for the franchise, such as overhauled robberies and heists that can now turn into fully controllable hostage situations, or somewhat ironically, the inclusion of hacking to allow for another kind of crime.
While these leaks did prove several rumors surrounding 's location and protagonists true long before Rockstar intended, the title is still one of the most highly anticipated in gaming at the time of writing. Therefore, a Rockstar showcase with a lengthy presentation detailing the game's new features and a demonstration of how Rockstar has pushed its already impressive open-world gameplay from last-gen's even further for current-gen devices through its new RAGE engine would certainly be worth it for many fans.
