When to expect new GTA 6 information from Rockstar Games

The last official information about Grand Theft Auto 6 came on May 6, 2025, in the form of the game's second trailer, screenshots, and some tidbits about in-game characters on the official website. Considering that the official release date of the title is May 26, 2026, gamers shouldn’t expect new information or details anytime soon.

In an interview two months ago, the CEO of Take-Two Interactive (Rockstar Games’ parent company) hinted at the studio's marketing strategy. As per the report, he suggested that proper marketing for the game would begin relatively close to the release window.

As the release date is in May next year, new information could be released in the fall or the holidays later this year (2025).
