Fans of Grand Theft Auto think Rockstar is nearing the release of its third main trailer for GTA 6, with anticipation rising more than a year after trailer 2 dropped. The latest wave of speculation was fueled by a rumor that pre-orders could go live on May 12, possibly at £69.99 in the UK.
Take-Two chief executive Strauss Zelnick has already said GTA 6 marketing will begin “soon,” and the company plans to ramp up promotion well ahead of the November 19 launch. That timing has left fans watching every hint for signs of movement, including a mysterious message shared from a Game Informer email newsletter that claimed [REDACTED] will appear on the magazine’s front cover next week.
There is no confirmation yet that the pre-order rumor is real, and the broader rollout is still being held back by the same careful strategy that shaped earlier Grand Theft Auto launches. GTA 5 was heavily marketed months before release, and GTA 6 is not expected to be different. Rockstar also appears to have had unusually deep resources to push the game toward the highest standard possible, which only adds to the sense that the campaign is being timed with precision.
Take-Two Interactive is scheduled to hold an earnings call on May 21, giving the company another moment when fans will be listening for any sign that the marketing machine is finally turning. If the chatter around May 12 proves accurate, it would fit a rollout that starts early and builds steadily toward November 19, rather than waiting until the last minute. For now, the third trailer remains the next piece fans are hunting, and the next official word could come sooner than they have been expecting.
