GTA 6 trailer is here… well, sort of. The moment everyone’s been waiting for—except... it’s not what anyone thought it was. An X user tweets, "A new GTA 6 trailer has finally arrived," and immediately, the internet holds its breath.

But it’s not THE trailer everyone was hoping for. What everyone thought would be a cinematic masterpiece turned out to be a literal vehicle trailer. Yup. A trailer that hauls things.

Naturally, the comment section absolutely exploded. Decepted fans are demanding to know where they can find the actual game trailer. Some have questioned if the trailer has been "canceled" or "delayed" because they’ve had enough of this kind of ride.

An X user humorously stated: "Me watching innocent people ask where."

Another user commented: "Stop this bullshit clickbait I almost had a car accident when I saw that and it was just a crap."

Yet another disappointed user commented with a Ron Weasley GIF:

A user mentioned: "I clicked so fast to see the comments “where bro”."
"Me when I lie", a user humorously noted.
"A minute of complex humor", a user said.
A user quipped: "My Twitter was taking long to load and I thought it was the day."
A user admitted: "Boutta' head to YouTube until I get the joke a second later after first seeing this post."
A comment read: "We got a GTA 6 trailer in GTA 5 before GTA 6."

This little mishap comes on the heels of a decade-long waiting game. For over ten years, fans of the Grand Theft Auto franchise have been patiently or not-so-patiently waiting for a glimpse into the next chapter of GTA.

Since 2013’s GTA V dropped, it's been nothing but please, Rockstar, can we have more? But all we got was a 90-second debut trailer on December 4, 2023.

As per reports, GTA 6, is slated for release in Fall 2025.

The excitement is palpable, yet mixed with an undertone of nervousness. Will their gaming consoles even still work by then? Will they even remember how to hold a controller? Only time will tell.


GTA 6 trailer

The first official trailer came out in December 2023. It got 49 million views in just hours.

Speaking of “hype,” Rockstar decided to sprinkle a few crumbs of teasers here and there to keep the flames of speculation burning.

At the 2024 Golden Joystick Awards, a Rockstar rep casually tossed out the word “absolutely mind-blowing” when referring to GTA 6, as reported by Gameologist.

Take-Two Interactive’s CEO Strauss Zelnick also threw in some words about the game being “breathtaking.” That too without giving any context.

Like... what happens in it?

The game is rumored to take us back to the neon-lit streets of Vice City. But honestly, at this point, fans are just hoping for a playable character who can walk without getting stuck on a random lamppost.

Two playable characters, one of whom is a female protagonist named Lucia, are already generating buzz. There’s talk of a super expansive open world with wild missions, plenty of stories, and who knows what else.

While fans are here for the incredible storyline, what’s really getting people hyped are the potential upgrades to gameplay mechanics. Probably smoother movement and better AI.

However, at this point, Rockstar could release a demo of the character picking up groceries, and fans would still lose their minds.
