As May progresses, Sony and Rockstar Games appear to be ramping up marketing efforts for Grand Theft Auto VI. PlayStation 4 owners who wishlisted the game on the PlayStation Store have begun receiving emails from Sony, encouraging them to upgrade to the PlayStation 5. The timing has led many to believe a new trailer is imminent.
Why the Hype? A Third Trailer Could Drop Soon
Earlier this month, Scott Duwe reported that Take-Two Interactive is scheduled to hold its earnings call on May 21. Given Rockstar Games' status as Take-Two's flagship studio and GTA being the most profitable entertainment franchise of all time, industry observers anticipate a trailer drop ahead of the call to boost investor interest and generate massive online engagement—potentially exceeding 100 million views on YouTube alone.
The emails from Sony, combined with a confirmed marketing partnership between Sony and Rockstar, have intensified fan speculation. A tweet highlighting the emails has further fueled discussions.
What We Know—and Don’t Know—About GTA 6
GTA VI has seen two trailers to date, but neither has showcased gameplay. Fans are eager to see Rockstar’s innovations since GTA V launched in 2013. While details remain scarce, the game is confirmed to be set in Vice City and will feature a duo of protagonists inspired by Bonnie and Clyde.
A third trailer could:
- Reveal gameplay mechanics and innovations.
- Provide deeper insight into the story and characters.
- Confirm the November 19 release date, addressing concerns about potential delays.
Rockstar has a history of delays, making a release date confirmation highly anticipated. Given the current marketing push, the odds of a third trailer arriving before May 21 seem increasingly likely.

Until an official announcement, fans can revisit the second trailer, which has amassed over 160 million views on YouTube:
