A highly anticipated update for millions of Grand Theft Auto fans is on the horizon, as one of the most trusted Rockstar Games insiders has confirmed that the third official GTA 6 trailer is set to be released within the next 14 days. The news comes from Tez2, a leaker with a near-perfect track record of accurate Rockstar-related announcements, who shared the details via the popular GTAForums community over the weekend.
Tez2, who previously correctly predicted the release windows of the first two GTA 6 trailers, the game’s initial Fall 2025 launch timeline for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, and the return to a reimagined Vice City setting, noted that the third trailer will shift focus from brief story teases to extended gameplay footage. Viewers can expect a deep dive into the game’s dynamic open world features, including real-time weather systems, fully destructible urban environments, and unprecedented NPC interaction mechanics, as well as more context for the game’s dual protagonists, Lucia and Jason, and their cross-Vice City crime narrative.
The first GTA 6 trailer, released in December 2023, shattered global records as the most-viewed video game trailer of all time, amassing over 102 million views in its first 24 hours on YouTube. The second trailer, which premiered in November 2024, built on that hype by revealing core gameplay snippets of driving, combat, and side activities, earning 79 million views in its first day online. For months, fans have been scouring past trailer footage and Rockstar’s social media channels for clues about the next promotional drop, with multiple fake fan-made trailers circulating on X, TikTok, and YouTube over the past two months leading to widespread community disappointment.
Tez2’s latest reveal has already sparked a global surge in discussion, with the #GTA6Trailer3 hashtag trending in 27 countries on X within hours of the leak being posted. Industry analysts note that a trailer drop in the next two weeks aligns perfectly with Rockstar’s typical pre-launch marketing schedule, as the studio usually ramps up promotional efforts 9 to 12 months ahead of a major title release. Fans are also hopeful the trailer will include a concrete, exact release date to replace the vague Fall 2025 window that has been official since 2023, as well as the first official details about the long-rumored PC release timeline, which Rockstar has not yet addressed publicly.

Man I’ve been refreshing Rockstar’s YouTube page twice a day for months! If this trailer actually drops in two weeks I’m taking the whole day off work to rewatch it frame by frame for hidden easter eggs. Tez2 has never let us down before so I’m 99% sure this is real.
Rumor says this trailer is going to show off the underwater exploration and dynamic weather system that Rockstar’s been teasing for ages. I’m also crossing my fingers we finally get an exact release date instead of just that vague Fall 2025 window we’ve had for a year now.
I bet half the GTA content creator community is already drafting their reaction scripts and thumbnail designs for their YouTube channels right now. Just please don’t let this be another fake leak, I can’t handle getting my heart broken again after that fake trailer that went viral last month.
As a PC player who skipped buying a console just for GTA 6, I really hope they mention the PC port timeline in this trailer. I know Rockstar usually waits a year to port their games to PC but it would be nice to get official confirmation instead of just guessing based on leaks.
