Fans are debating whether a tweet liked by Geoff Keighley is an innocuous promotion or a hint at a GTA 6 reveal at The Game Awards.
Although there’s no exact date for the Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer premiere, the fact that it’s being promised for early December makes it easy to assume that it’ll debut during The Game Awards.
Aside from it being a major event with a huge gaming audience, The Game Awards are scheduled for December 7 (technically December 8 for the UK), which lines up with Rockstar Games’ early December window for the trailer.
It’s entirely possible Rockstar will drop the trailer independent of The Game Awards (GTA 6 is big enough to not need help promoting it), but some fans are convinced that The Game Awards is where it will debut.
In the wake of the initial trailer news, Twitter user jacob took the opportunity to make a joke video using a clip from drama series Succession, about how Keighley would react if he doesn’t get to announce the GTA 6 trailer at The Game Awards.
People soon noticed that Keighley himself liked the tweet and are taking that as a sign that GTA 6 will make an appearance during the event.
Others aren’t as convinced though. Over on Reddit, several argue that Keighley is simply using the opportunity to get people to tune into The Game Awards.
‘With all due respect, Geoff never misses an opportunity to promote himself/his show,’ says blackthorn_orion. Another user, yeradd, concurs, pointing out ‘Geoff always shares and likes all major game-related announcements. So I guess that means every game will be featured on the Game Awards!’
One MardokhGamer suggests Rockstar will give Keighley the trailer as an apology for what happened at his Gamescom Opening Night Live show, where someone jumped the stage asking about GTA 6.
As for the trailer itself, with any luck it’ll include a launch window for the game. Publisher Take-Two once implied GTA 6 could arrive as early as next year, but recently it’s been suggested that it’s been pushed back to 2025.
Following the initial report about a December trailer, fan site Rockstar Universe claimed to have heard similar info from its own sources and that Rockstar has delayed the game to 2025.
In addition, in Take-Two’s latest earnings call, it said that due to ‘shifts in our pipeline,’ it now expects to make under $8 billion in revenue for its 2025 fiscal year (via The Motley Fool).
Previously, Take-Two said it would make over $8 billion that year, strongly suggesting that that’s when it planned to release GTA 6. If this is no longer the case, then that could mean GTA 6 won’t arrive till the 2026 fiscal year.
This covers April 2025 to March 2026, which also seems to imply that a 2025 launch is now more likely.
