Gamers left frustrated after GTA 6 release year confirmed by Take-Two
Fans have been left disappointed after popular GTA 6 tweet theory is disproven, leaving many to wonder if the game will stick to its current release year.
It certainly wouldn't be an understatement to claim that Rockstar Games' Grand Theft Auto 6 is the most anticipated upcoming game release, both if it sticks to its current release window of 'Fall 2025', or whether it suffers what some consider to be an inevitable delay at this point.
The hype from fans is off the charts at this point, and they're starved for any form of content following on from the reveal trailer released back in December 2023.

General excitement, bundles of hype, and the looming Take-Two earnings call managed to convince some fans that a second trailer for GTA 6 would be on its way, with November 5 earmarked as the day to look forward to.
This has, unfortunately, been proven to be an incorrect prediction though, leaving any wannabe Nostradamus in the dust. Instead, the official Rockstar Games X (formerly Twitter) account simply posted about a Trader Bonuses event for Red Dead Online - rather disappointing in comparison.
Many users have voiced their frustration to this announcement in the replies, with one user angrily demanding "DROP GTA 6 TRAILER 2 PLEASE," while another claiming that "this has been the driest year for gaming ever" due to the news - or lack thereof.
The frustration has spread to Reddit too, with users on the r/GTA6 subreddit reacting similarly to the disappointing news.
Some are seeing a bit of optimism in the darkness though, as one user argues: "Rockstar will always disappoint us until they do not."
The award-winning developer certainly has a reputation for living up to the hype, so it's understandable if some fans are willing to suffer momentary frustration if they can feel something good looming in the future.
This, of course, hasn't stopped more theories from emerging though, as many have also pointed out that the announcement of GTA 6's first trailer was preceded by another Red Dead Online post. While this would be quite the coincidence, it's hard not to get swept up in the optimism!
However, some good news has come out from the Take-Two earnings call in the meantime. It has been reaffirmed by the game's publisher that everything's still on schedule for a Fall 2025 launch, so it's surely only a matter of time now until we get to see more of the game and eventually return to Vice City ourselves.
