Summer Game Fest is set to go live on June 6, 2025, at 2 PM PT, less than 12 hours from the time of this writing, and will be streamed on platforms like YouTube and Twitch.

Given the nature and stature of the event, gamers might be wondering if Rockstar Games could showcase more of its next release at it. Sadly, the possibilities of that happening seem to be quite low. This is because of two factors, the first being the GTA 6 trailer 2 having just been put out.

It should also be noted that Rockstar rolled out a bunch of screenshots, postcards of GTA 6 map locations, official artwork, and details of a couple of characters, along with the second trailer. If we take into account the fact that its release date is May 26, 2026, just under a year from now, a third trailer or any other form of marketing dropping so quickly is unlikely.

One may argue that it could be a surprise, and while that wouldn't be unrealistic, Rockstar seemingly prefers to market its upcoming titles on its own terms and very rarely collaborates with such events.

Will GTA 6 be at Summer Game Fest 2025: Final verdict

There is no definitive answer to "Will GTA 6 be at Summer Game Fest 2025?" at the moment, but based on the things discussed above, the possibilities seem to be extremely low.
