It’s been almost a year to the day since Rockstar released that Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer. The one-minute-30 video sparked dozens of fan theories, received threats of a lawsuit, referenced Red Dead Redemption 2, and broke YouTube’s record for ‘most watched debut of a non-music video‘ on the platform. Since its December 4 release, however, news on Rockstar’s latest title has been quiet, with fans feeding off scraps to try to figure out when the next trailer will drop.

How do people spot this stuff?!
Over the past year, players have wrongly used bullet holes and the moon to try and figure out when the next trailer could arrive, but an update to a YouTube playlist has whipped the fan base into a frenzy, with them believing now is the time.
Grand Theft Auto 6 Playlist Updated Out Of The Blue
GTA 6’s first trailer was originally scheduled to launch on December 5, 2023. However, it leaked early, thanks to Rockstar uploading it on YouTube’s backend, forcing the developer to release the trailer the day before.
Now, eagle-eyed Reddit user Unia_ has discovered that the playlist used to upload the game’s first trailer has been updated within the last few hours. You can see it for yourself right here.
Of course, this small update has sent the Grand Theft Auto 6 community wild, with it being dubbed “the most credible hopium I’ve seen.“
More credible than the moon’s phases and a handful of bullet holes, one Redditor pointed out, “Why would they be tweaking the playlist randomly that has only one trailer so far,” especially given that it’s almost exactly a year since the last one was released.
With the first trailer leaking early, though, there is some skepticism as to whether Rockstar would upload the video to YouTube early, risking the same thing happening again. However, with little else to go on, excitement levels are rising once again for the next Grand Theft Auto.
Grand Theft Auto 6 is an upcoming title in the long-running series from Rockstar Games. Currently scheduled for a 2025 launch, details are few, although it appears to focus on a Bonnie-and-Clyde-like pair of characters.
