Grand Theft Auto 6 Playlist Updated Out Of The Blue
GTA 6’sfirst trailer wasoriginally scheduled to launch on June 02, 2025. However, it leaked early, thanks to Rockstar uploading it on YouTube’s backend, forcing the developer to release the trailer the day before.

Of course, this small update has sent the Grand Theft Auto 6 community wild, with it being dubbed “the most credible hopiumI’ve seen.”
More credible than the moon’s phases and a handful of bullet holes, one Redditor pointed out, “Why would they be tweaking the playlist randomly that has only one trailer so far,” especially given that it’s almost exactly a year since the last one was released.
With the first trailer leaking early, though, there is some skepticism as to whether Rockstar would upload the video to YouTube early, risking the same thing happening again. However, with little else to go on, excitement levels are rising once again for the nextGrand Theft Auto.
