Rockstar expected to drop GTA 6 third trailer on Aug 6, 2026

GTA 6 third trailer Tom Henderson August 6 2026 Take-Two earnings call

Industry insider Tom Henderson of Insider Gaming predicts that Rockstar Games will release the third trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) in the first week of August 2026, with August 6 being the most likely date. He bases the estimate on the timing of Take‑Two Interactive’s quarterly earnings call scheduled for August 7, a pattern the publisher has used for previous major announcements.

Rockstar has not confirmed any date, and the company has remained silent since the second trailer debuted in May 2025. The first trailer, released on December 4, 2023, garnered over 93 million YouTube views in its first 24 hours, while the second trailer posted around 475 million views across platforms in a single day.

The game is slated for release on November 19, 2026 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Pre‑orders began in late June, with PlayStation 5 sales reportedly outpacing Xbox roughly six‑to‑one. In parallel, Take‑Two has issued DMCA takedown notices to remove AI‑generated fake GTA 6 third‑trailer videos that were circulating on YouTube, signalling a tighter control over promotional content ahead of the official reveal.
