GTA 6 Trailer 3 could be revealed in August as insider teases Rockstar announcement

We’ve all been saying it for months, but it feels more likely than ever that the highly anticipated trailer three for GTA VI could drop any day now, that’s at least according to an industry insider.

The wait for the third trailer for Rockstar Games’ next entry in its Grand Theft Auto series has been an agonising one for fans. We got our first trailer for GTA VI in December 2023 and the second in May 2025.

We’re just a few months away from the launch of GTA VI, and the fact that Rockstar Games hasn't dropped trailer three already has some fans concerned. I guess it’s just the excitement of potentially seeing a proper gameplay trailer from start to finish. However, according to industry insider NateTheHate2, that wait could come to an end in August.

GTA VI trailer three could be just days away as fans await Rockstar reveal

When a follower on X asked NateTheHate2 if GTA VI has been delayed (it hasn't), another follower asked, “When do you think we'll see gameplay for GTA VI?”, to which NateTheHate2 replied, “I expect to see a fair bit of GTA VI next month.”

It’s worth stressing that NateTheHate2 doesn't mention where this information comes from; for all we could know, it could simply be an educated guess. Which, to be fair, pretty much all of us would probably assume that the next GTA VI trailer could drop sometime in August.

Furthermore, trailer three isn't mentioned either, but with all the talk of Rockstar Games aiming for a big marketing push for GTA VI this summer, August 2026 feels as good a time as any.

That being said, NateTheHate2 is well-connected in the industry, so that’s worth considering, too. We’ll just have to wait and see what unfolds in the coming days and weeks.

What’s the story of GTA VI?

“Vice City, USA. Jason and Lucia have always known the deck is stacked against them,” reads the synopsis of GTA VI.

“But when an easy score goes wrong, they find themselves on the darkest side of the sunniest place in America, in the middle of a criminal conspiracy stretching across the state of Leonida — forced to rely on each other more than ever if they want to make it out alive.”

Grand Theft Auto VI will be released on November 19, 2026, on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. At the time of writing, the PC port hasnt been officially announced, but we’re sure that announcement will drop at some point. Of course, as soon as that elusive trailer three does drop, we'll be sure to let you know straight away. As they say, watch this space.
