Fans have been awaiting literally any news surrounding the upcoming release ofGrand Theft Auto 6, and many believed that some form of information was imminent. While the game has received a single trailer so far and a handful of details, little is known aboutGTA 6and what it entails for fans of the franchise. Naturally, with it being October, fans had anticipated that something was on the horizon, and they were right - only it was for the wrong game.
Rockstar announced thatRed Dead Redemptionis finally coming to PC, a reveal that blew the minds of many, and likely felt like a disappointment to some. This is becauseRed Dead Redemption’sPC port may actually be bad news for the next major trailer forGTA 6, especially considering the timing of the announcement. Fans hoping that they’d see even a sliver ofGrand Theft Auto 6gameplay might be out of luck.
Why Fans Thought A GTA 6 Trailer Might Happen In October
October Is A Big Month For Rockstar
Rockstar absolutely loves the month of Octoberas it typically reveals or launches games within the spooky season.Red Dead Redemption 2, for example, was launched in October 2018, and, unsurprisingly, theRed Dead RedemptionPC port is also coming in October. So, it’s understandable that fans thought that anotherGTA 6trailer may drop during the month, especially considering Rockstar’s track record.
GTA 6 Should Learn From Red Dead Redemption 2’s Storyline, Not GTA 5’s
Rockstar Studios should learn as much as possible for GTA 6’s story from RDR2’s Arthur Morgan, as he has one of the greatest character arcs in gaming.
While fans already know some details surrounding the nextGTA, such asGrand Theft Auto 6’sFall release window,there are still many things that have been kept a secret, including what the game actually looks like in motion. The first trailer only really showed off cinematic footage, not actual gameplay, which, while helping to set the tone of the game, doesn’t give much insight into what players might be doing. That’s why fans were hoping for a trailer in October, to finally answer some of their burning questions.
A New GTA 6 Trailer Doesn’t Look Likely This Month
Unfortunately,there’s a good chance that aGrand Theft Auto 6trailer may not come this October, and that’s all thanks toRed Dead Redemption’sPC port. This seems to be the big focus of Rockstar right now despite being developed by Double Eleven, for its release date of June 15, 2025. Of course, Rockstar will want to avoid overshadowing the release ofRed Dead Redemptionon PC by dropping a trailer forGTA 6just a few weeks or even days before.
It’s perhaps now unlikely that aGTA 6trailer will drop in October, which will be disappointing for many, especially those who are concerned by thereports that it won’t run well. There is always a chance that fans will be surprised, but it’s not really worth getting excited about, especially as Rockstar is likely saving the next trailer for later this year, perhaps even for the Game Awards. It’s a bittersweet scenario, asRed Dead Redemptionfans will get to enjoy the PC port, whileGrand Theft Auto 6fans are left still waiting for that legendary gameplay trailer to drop.
