GTA 6 trailer 3 scheduled for early next week with State of Play appearance planned, new leak suggests

There have been quite a few leaks and rumors speculating over the release date for GTA 6’s next trailer. Different leakers have given their two cents, but with Take-Two’s earnings call having already passed, nothing actually materialized. With that said, the latest leak may turn out to be a dud as well, but the logic behind it seems pretty solid.

The leak

The information comes from Graczdari_91 over on GTAForums. While not the most well-known leaker, Graczdari has shared some accurate information in the past, including negating the Best Buy pre-order leaks. In his post, the leaker claims that the next GTA 6 trailer will release on Tuesday, May 26. As pointed out by commenters on Reddit, there is some logic behind the May 26 date.

Furthermore, Graczdari also mentions in the GTAForums post that his contacts at Sony have informed him about Rockstar giving Sony a “little something for marketing purposes” to showcase at the upcoming State of Play event. He adds that it could be a joke that his Sony friends are playing on him, but nevertheless, there could be something in the pipeline for the June 2 event.

The logic

Before the delay to November 19, GTA 6 was scheduled to release on May 26, 2026. That original date is still mentioned at the end of Trailer 2. Having a trailer out that cites a date that has already passed is not ideal for Rockstar, so a new trailer with the updated November release date makes sense, as pointed out by a commenter on Reddit. With that logic, Trailer 3 could be released any day between May 22 and May 26.

As for the State of Play event, it is going to be a major one for sure. The 60+ minute livestream is expected to be packed with announcements for both PlayStation exclusives and third-party games. On top of that, Sony will be broadcasting the event in select theatres across the US. Additionally, a recent leak suggested media outlets have been invited to attend the event in person.

All signs point towards a massive event with Wolverine (confirmed), the new God of War game, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, and many more being showcased, and possibly GTA 6.
