As stated, Rockstar Games has yet to announce a fixed release date for the game but the IMDB GTA 6 news seems to have sparked numerous speculations. While some suggest the developer might roll out the game in October 2025, as they have done for several of their titles, others feel a September release is more likely.

However, most fans are sure Rockstar Games will target Fall 2025 to release GTA 6 since it marks the holiday season and is the best time to roll out a title of such stature. Several of their titles, including GTA Vice City, GTA San Andreas, and Red Dead Redemption 2 were released around this time. Hence, it won't be surprising if they decide to stick with this time frame.

While the actual game is still quite far off, fans are desperately waiting for Rockstar Games to release the second trailer. The first video was impressive and stunned the community with its details and quality. Naturally, many are wondering when the studio will release the second one, with some opining that Rockstar might release GTA 6 trailer 2 around September 2024.

The studio is known for taking its own sweet time in releasing trailers, so a huge gap between the first and second one is nothing out of the ordinary. However, considering the anticipation surrounding the game, the developers might release the trailer sooner rather than later.


At the moment, nothing has been confirmed by Rockstar Games. Hence, readers are advised to take any information with a grain of salt. Hopefully, there will be some actual updates soon unlike the fake IMDB GTA 6 release news.
