When Will GTA 6 Trailer 3 Come Out?

Following the game’s disappointing delay to November 2026, fans are anxiously waiting for the release of GTA 6 trailer 3. While the new footage won’t make up for the lengthy delays, trailer 3 will likely deliver some actual gameplay and showcase the game’s environments, locations, activities, and more. But with Rockstar being Rockstar, the devs have been infuriatingly silent on when the third trailer will be released.

So, if you’re wondering about its potential release date, here’s everything we know about GTA 6 trailer 3 so far.

GTA 6 Trailer 3 Release Date Speculation

There’s no confirmed release or launch date for GTA 6 trailer 3 as of yet, but all signs point towards it being dropped in either Q1 or Q2 2026. This isn’t a shot in the dark, mind you. It’s a calculated estimate based on the promotional cycle of Rockstar’s last two releases: GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2. Both titles received their third trailers during the six-month stretch leading up to their release, and GTA 6 is expected to follow suit.

There are, of course, rumors that the trailer might be showcased at the Game Awards. But Rockstar has a reputation for doing reveals their own way and on their own schedule. No major Rockstar game trailer has ever premiered live on stage at the Game Awards, Gamescom, or E3 (RIP), which highlights the studio’s insistence on following their own timeline.

While these estimates take history into account, they remain speculative at the end of the day. The studio could easily break tradition and drop the trailer tomorrow if it aligned with their schedule, but at the moment, we can safely say that we’re unlikely to see a new trailer before 2026.

Will Pre-Orders Go Live with Trailer 3 Reveal?

Again, it’s impossible to say for sure, although it would certainly make sense for GTA 6 pre-orders to kick off following trailer 3’s release. Pre-orders for Red Dead Redemption 2 began just a month after the release of its third trailer, which lends some credibility to this theory.

Once the pre-orders go live, you can expect outages across both the PlayStation and Xbox digital storefronts due to the sheer number of people looking to buy the game simultaneously. For the time being, you can wishlist the game on both platforms. And in case you’re wondering about the game’s price, be sure to check out our predictions.
