We've known for a while that the next Grand Theft Auto iteration is in the works, and the leak last year served as confirmation.
However, Rockstar has been struggling to keep all release details secret, and to some extent, it managed to do this pretty well. The rumor mill is full of information regarding GTA 6's launch date, and the latest speculation on this front suggests an announcement isn't too far.
Twitter user Budz, who regularly posts information and scoops on Rockstar's work, claims the company is already giving the finishing touches to a GTA VI reveal trailer. Rockstar could release this trailer in November or December, with the company considering this year's Game Awards as the venue to host this unveiling.
Getting confirmation for this information is impossible, considering it's just a rumor, but historically, Rockstar isn't a big fan of announcing its biggest titles at game events. As a result, I doubt the company will wait for this year's Game Awards (due in December) to take the wraps off such a highly anticipated release.
On the other hand, a GTA 6 trailer going live this year is very likely. Several tipsters familiar with the matter shared similar scoops in the last few months, revealing that Rockstar plans to announce the next Grand Theft Auto title this year.
The other intriguing bit in the new rumor is questionable too. Budz claims GTA 6 "is coming next year," though he later says the game is "two years away."
Rockstar typically launches its biggest titles two years after the official announcement, so if the company releases the trailer this year, GTA 6 should see daylight in 2025. Other sources with knowledge of the matter confirmed the 2025 release target earlier this year, though some sources claimed Rockstar could push the unveiling back to 2026 if something doesn't go as planned. However, a 2024 launch is unlikely.
The rumor mill does an excellent job of fueling the excitement over GTA 6, especially as Rockstar tries to remain fully tight-lipped after the 2022 leak. The company has already confirmed that the development of GTA 6 is on track (despite the leak), and the work on the game is on schedule. However, it didn't share information on when gamers could receive the first look at the next Grand Theft Auto.
Most tidbits point towards a 2025 launch, so while a reveal trailer seeing daylight this year is almost inevitable, you won't get to try out GTA 6 anytime soon. Rockstar will probably keep all the juicy details away from our eyes and ears for a little longer, so we should all just take the information swirling around these days with a healthy pinch of salt.

GTA 6 is coming next year and Rockstar is looking to post a reveal trailer around November or December, possibly during this year's Game Awards
