GTA 6 Trailers

Last updated: July 2026

Rockstar Games has released two official GTA 6 trailers so far: Trailer 1 on December 4, 2023, and Trailer 2 on May 6, 2025 — both embedded below with full breakdowns. A third trailer has not yet been released or dated. As of July 2026 it remains unannounced, with most projections pointing to a late-July-to-mid-August window, likely around Take-Two Interactive’s August 7 earnings call.

Is GTA 6 Trailer 3 Out Yet?

No — GTA 6 Trailer 3 has not been released, and Rockstar has not announced a date or confirmed it exists. As of July 2026, only two trailers have come out. The most-cited projection for a third puts it in a late-July to mid-August 2026 window, with fans and analysts watching Take-Two’s August 7 earnings call as a likely moment, since Rockstar has historically timed big announcements around that period.

Earlier predictions came and went: many expected Trailer 3 alongside pre-orders on June 25, 2026, and again around July 21 — but both passed without a trailer. Instead, Rockstar rolled out its summer marketing in pieces: the cover art and new logo on June 18, pre-orders on June 25 ($79.99 Standard / $99.99 Ultimate), and a batch of roughly 60 new screenshots — all without fresh trailer footage, which is exactly why the wait has become so loud.

What to expect from Trailer 3

Reporting consistently points to a cinematic story trailer rather than a gameplay deep-dive — expected to expand on Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos’ relationship, introduce more of the antagonists, and show additional areas of Leonida beyond central Vice City. A dedicated gameplay trailer is generally expected to follow later. Whenever it lands, Trailer 3 is widely seen as the last major marketing beat before launch week on November 19, 2026. Everything about its date and contents remains unconfirmed until Rockstar says otherwise.

Rockstar dropped GTA 6 Trailer 2 without warning on May 6, 2025, just four days after announcing the game’s first delay. At 2 minutes 47 seconds, it’s the longer of the two trailers, and it leans into story — digging deeper into Jason and Lucia’s Bonnie-and-Clyde relationship and showing far more of the state of Leonida. Rockstar confirmed the trailer was captured entirely on PlayStation 5 and made up of equal parts gameplay and cutscenes.

The numbers were staggering. Rockstar reported that Trailer 2 pulled in more than 475 million views across all platforms in its first 24 hours, which the studio called the biggest video launch of all time. For context, that shattered the previous trailer records held by Deadpool & Wolverine (365 million) and Spider-Man: No Way Home (355.5 million). It also became the fastest video ever to reach one million likes. On YouTube specifically, it has since grown into one of the most-watched pieces of gaming content on the platform.

GTA 6 Trailer 1 (December 4, 2023)

The first GTA 6 trailer was the announcement heard around the world. It was scheduled for December 5, 2023, but after a low-quality version leaked roughly 16 hours early, Rockstar released the official cut a day ahead of plan on December 4, 2023. At just 1 minute 31 seconds and YouTube-exclusive, it introduced Vice City, the state of Leonida, protagonists Jason and Lucia, and a broad “2025” release window.

It immediately rewrote the record books. Trailer 1 racked up around 93 million views in its first 24 hours, becoming the most-watched non-music video in YouTube history over that span and beating the previous record held by MrBeast — an achievement even Guinness World Records acknowledged. More than a year later it had climbed past 255 million YouTube views, and it remains the reveal that set the whole GTA 6 hype cycle in motion.

Which GTA 6 Trailer Broke the Bigger Record?

This is where it gets nuanced — because Trailer 1 and Trailer 2 hold different records, and which one “wins” depends on how you count:

• Trailer 1 holds the YouTube-only record. Its ~93 million YouTube views in 24 hours still beats Trailer 2’s YouTube-only figure (around 83–85 million), because Trailer 1 was a YouTube-exclusive event that fans were primed and waiting for.
• Trailer 2 holds the all-platforms record. Its ~475 million views in 24 hours span YouTube plus X, Instagram, and every other platform Rockstar posted it on — which is how it claimed the “biggest video launch of all time” title.

So both statements are true at once: Trailer 1 is the bigger YouTube debut, while Trailer 2 is the bigger cross-platform launch. Anyone telling you flatly that “Trailer X beat Trailer Y” is usually comparing two different measurements.
