Key Takeaways
- Rockstar Games has spent most of 2024 with the reveal trailer for GTA 6 pinned to its YouTube page.

Eagled-eyed Grand Theft Auto fans have realised that Rockstar Games has unpinned the reveal trailer for GTA 6 from its YouTube page, sparking hope that we might see something new soon.
When Rockstar Games finally revealed Grand Theft Auto 6 to the world this time last year with a release date set for 2025, fans thought that we’d be getting pretty consistent updates about its progress. In fact, there have been about a million theories about when we’d get new screenshots or the illustrious Trailer 2.

Forget GTA, Half Life Is Gaming’s Original Event Series
Grand Theft Auto 6 will be the gaming event of the 2020s, but Half-Life 3 will do something truly new.
As we all know, though, that isn’t the case at all. More than one year after GTA 6’s reveal trailer debuted last December, Rockstar has shown and told diddly squat about one of the biggest games of all time. That’s left fans to fend for any scrap of detail, something that’s been very 50/50 over the last few months – well, following the recent Vice City tease in GTA Online, we have another concrete thing to look at.
GTA 6 Trailer 1 Is No Longer Pinned On Rockstar’s YouTube Channel
As spotted by Redditor Affectionate-Mode766 on the GTA 6 subreddit, Rockstar Games’ YouTube channel has undergone a strange change over the last few days. While the reveal trailer for GTA 6 has been pinned at the top of the channel for almost all of 2024, it’s suddenly been removed shortly after the year anniversary.
Using the Wayback Machine, we can see that the trailer has indeed been pinned right at the top of the channel for most of the year and is now, for whatever reason, back to just being in the list of uploaded videos. Some fans reported that it appeared for those not subscribed to the channel, but it now seems to be unpinned for everyone.
As is always the case when it comes to potential news about GTA 6, we’re left wondering what exactly it all means. It could just be a YouTube glitch or the pin expiring on Rockstar’s channel, but that seems a little boring. The most interesting possible outcome is that Rockstar has deliberately unpinned the reveal trailer to make way for something new like a second trailer.
It could also just be one of many teases from Rockstar, who is surely aware that its every move is being watched by fans who are hopeful for Trailer 2 somehow making it out of 2024. We won’t know for sure until something more concrete happens, but it is an interesting development if you’re as excited as most GTA fans.
