GTA 6 LIVE: Trailer 3 speculation sparks as official update spotted

Trailer 3 speculation sparks as official update spotted

A YouTuber has spotted Rockstar Games "has seemingly unpinned GTA 6 trailer 2 for subscribers on YouTube".

TGG added: "Don't get your hopes up too much though, they have done this before and it's meant nothing."

That small tweak could pave the way for trailer 3 if Rockstar was to follow a similar pattern to what it did earlier in the year, releasing trailer 2 after the initial delay.

There is some speculation online that this is what Rockstar could be gearing up towards with that granular change.

But if it does mean anything, it's more likely there will be a trailer for the new GTA Online update coming in December, expected to be Mansions.

'Same energy'

Fans in the GTA 6 Subreddit agree the release of GTA 6 has the "same energy" as RDR2.

GTA 6 was initially scheduled to release in Autumn 2025 before being delayed to 26 May 2026 and again to 19 November 2026.

RDR2 was initially scheduled to release in Autumn 2017, was delayed to Spring 2018 and then again to 26 October 2018.

Redditor MTH1138 posted a comparison of the "same energy" between the two titles and fans have had a lot to say in the comments.

ZOoNeR_ said: "Notice how it says 'preorder now' on every RDR2 delay but not on the GTA 6 delays."

nickonreddit210 said: "Well if it's as good as Red Dead 2 then it's worth the wait."

TDS_Commando said: "Why do they do this 😭"

Status of game reaction

In the GamingLeaksAndRumours Subreddit, gamers have been reacting to Insider Gaming's Tom Henderson saying the game has been "content-ready for a long time" on the most recent episode of Insider Gaming Weekly.

On a post, A_O_J said: "So a year of polishing."

Wolnight said: "It would be insane if it wasn't at just six months / one year away from release. With GTA 5 back in 2011, Rockstar showed a trailer that featured an incomplete map, Los Santos had many holes in the background. What we've seen in December 2023 was already very polished and even the leaks showed a good development status."

Tank-ToP_Master said: "He also said he doesn't think it's gonna be delayed again."

Thema03 said: "Can't wait for three days after release to watch people clipping out of bounds."

EnlargedPhalange said: "It's probably to ensure the online isn't a massive flop like Red Dead Online. Rockstar made an almost impossible task of following up GTA Online that's had a decade of content updates."

Development phase 'revealed' by insider and job ad

GTA 6's development phase has been 'revealed' by a renowned insider and a job Rockstar Games is recruiting for.

Insider Gaming's Tom Henderson said on the most recent episode of Insider Gaming Weekly: "From what I've heard, it's been content-ready for a very long time."

That hints that Rockstar is in the final stages of production and is currently testing for bugs and fixes.

This comes after it was spotted on social media Rockstar is recruiting for an Associate QA (Quality Assurance) Tester.

The job description said responsibilities include: "Test and validate the technical performance of game features, content and systems.

"Identify issues, gather supporting information and write comprehensive bug reports."

To be clear, the development phase has not been confirmed by Rockstar Games and this is speculation at this time.

Full story: GTA 6 studio London offices hit with protests after more than 30 employees fired

Protests have been taking place outside of Take-Two Interactive's London offices after more than 30 employees were sacked at Rockstar Games, the developers of the Grand Theft Auto series. Take-Two is the parent company of Rockstar.

IWGB (The Independent Workers Union of Great Britain) trade union accused Rockstar of "union busting", claiming staff members were dismissed over "trade union activity" - but Rockstar said those staff were dismissed due to "gross misconduct".

A Rockstar spokesperson told Bloomberg: "We took action against a small number of individuals who were found to be distributing and discussing confidential information in a public forum, a violation of our company policies.

"This was in no way related to people's right to join a union or engage in union activities."

But IWGB has been "fighting back" against Rockstar and held a protest outside Take-Two's London offices on Thursday (6 November), adamant the dismissals have been "unlawful and retaliatory".
