Grand Theft Auto 6 is four months from its November 19 launch, and Rockstar Games has still not released a third trailer. That is about to change. People familiar with Rockstar's marketing plans have said the studio was deliberately holding the trailer back until the June gaming season concluded, not wanting to compete with the wave of announcements from Summer Game Fest, the Xbox Games Showcase, and the Nintendo Direct. Now that the dust has settled, the late June or early July window is the one being pointed to most consistently by those with knowledge of the situation.
Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick has been broadly signalling the same timeline. In comments made to Variety last month, he said Rockstar would begin marketing the game properly "when it's summertime", which technically begins on 21 June. Pre-orders are expected to open alongside the trailer rather than ahead of it, so whenever Trailer 3 drops, that is likely the moment when console players can finally put money down. Pricing remains officially unconfirmed, though the working assumption across the industry sits at the $70 to $80 range for the base game.
Separately, a rumour about the PC version has resurfaced today. The original claim, from a leaker on X going by DetectiveSeeds and citing former Rockstar employees, pointed to a February 2027 launch for PC. That would place the PC version roughly three months after the November console launch, considerably faster than the 18-month gap between GTA V's console and PC releases.
Most analysts have treated it with scepticism given how compressed the window would be, but the rumour is circulating again and gaining traction in the GTA community. Rockstar has not commented on a PC version at all. GTA VI launches 19 November 2026 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X.
