Grand Theft Auto VI, the most anticipated game of the year, is in the news once again. Recently, we saw select Best Buy affiliate users sharing screenshots about pre-orders for the game, which were expected to start soon. So now the real question that’s on everyone’s minds is, when does the third trailer for the game come out?
Well, there is some good news for fans of the Grand Theft Auto franchise: according to Rockstar Games’ CEO, GTA VI is now on track with no further delays. During the recent earnings call, Strauss Zelnick stated that the marketing for GTA VI is set to begin towards the end of June. This will also be around the same time when the third trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI will be released.
As for the release date, Strauss Zelnick stated that the game will be released on its actual release date, i.e., the 19th of November 2026. He has also stated that once the marketing for the game begins later this June, we should also expect the pre-orders for the game to go live either in June or July. Looking at the time frame, it looks like all these things will take place a few days after the 2026 FIFA World Cup begins.
Rockstar Games’ boss has also stated that the marketing for GTA VI will be completely different from the way GTA V was marketed. He hasn’t gone into details as to how he would market the game, but, looking at how many game developers and studios usually market the game via social media influencers and Twitch/YouTube gamers, it’s likely we could see the same for GTA VI.
In the meantime, Xbox Series X and Series S gamers can finally wishlist Grand Theft Auto VI on their console’s game store. Concerning PC gamers, there is still time to reveal details about the release, system requirements and whether the game will be available only via the Rockstar Games Launcher or if it will also be available on Steam and Epic Games Store. Until then, we’ve got to wait for the peak summer season to know more
