When Will GTA 6 Trailer 3 Come Out?

The wait for GTA 6 Trailer 3 continues even after a year of silence. The third trailer won’t make up for the lengthy delays, but it 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 window, here’s everything we know about GTA 6 trailer 3 so far.

GTA 6 Trailer 3 Expected Release Window

Rockstar has not yet confirmed a release or launch date for GTA 6 trailer 3 at the time of writing. But Take-Two CEO’s recent statements about the GTA 6 marketing plan strongly suggest that the third trailer for GTA 6 will be released in the summer, i.e., sometime in late June. This isn’t a shot in the dark, mind you. Rockstar Games is adhering to its GTA 6 summer marketing campaign, and the Take-Two boss reaffirmed it in an interview with Variety.

So the next few weeks I don’t think it’ll be summertime yet, but when it’s summertime, Rockstar expects to start marketing GTA 6.

And that’s what we know so far about the official release window of the GTA 6 trailer 3. However, if you are looking for the latest rumors about the third trailer for GTA 6, we have got you covered as well. Graczdari_91, the leaker behind the Best Buy GTA 6 preorder leak debunking, asserted that the GTA 6 trailer 3 will drop on May 26, 2026. In case you don’t remember, May 26 was the original premiere date of GTA 6 before it was postponed to a November release. But don’t get your hopes up based on the leaks.

And then there are, of course, rumors that the trailer might be showcased at the upcoming State of Play and Summer Game Fest 2026. But Rockstar has a reputation for doing things their own way and on their own schedule. No major Rockstar game trailer has ever premiered live on stage at a major Video Game Showcase event like TGA, Gamescom, or E3 (RIP), highlighting the studio’s insistence on following its own timeline.

While these estimates take history into account, they remain highly speculative at the end of the day. The studio could easily break tradition and drop the trailer tomorrow if it aligns with their schedule. But at the moment, we can safely say that we’re unlikely to see a new GTA 6 trailer before the summer kicks off in June 2026.

Will GTA 6 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. Earlier in May 2026, new Best Buy leaks suggested that GTA 6 pre-orders begin in May 2026, shortly after trailer 3 goes live this month. However, this hasn’t been the case so far.

If we look at Rockstar’s history of opening pre-orders, the 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. So, we can expect the GTA 6 trailer 3 to reveal that pre-orders are live now at the end.

Once the pre-orders go live, you can definitely expect outages on 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 GTA 6’s price, be sure to check out our predictions.
