"Will trailer 2 come before GTA 6?" Users hilariously point out the absurd wait time for GTA 6’s second trailer

Waiting for GTA's Trailer 2 is becoming a test of patience and endurance. It has been three years since its initial trailer was released in 2021, and Rockstar has not uttered a word since. There is no sight of a second trailer, and with no officially announced release date for the game, fans are beginning to wonder: will the second trailer be released just before the game itself?

It's one of those questions that encapsulates so beautifully the joke and frustration arising from this indefinite waiting.

In its nature, the internet has made this absurd situation a viral sensation. The fans have been sharing memes and funny comments on social media about the long wait. One of the latest trends?

A post joking that we’ve already waited longer for Trailer 2 than we’ll wait for the actual game. And that’s not even the punchline. Fans have started predicting, from dark to jokingly, what will happen if the Trailer 2 is not launched soon. The waiting has become as much of a meme as the game itself.

Why fans can't stop talking about Trailer 2

It’s easy to see why the post went viral: it perfectly captures the shared experience of GTA 6 fans. Rockstar has been playing the long game, giving us little bits of information and teasing content. After all, the first trailer was a big deal, but it’s been two years since then. Fans, who have already been patient beyond reason, are starting to joke that they might see the trailer before the actual game drops. And while it may sound like a dark joke, it’s clear many fans are embracing it with open arms.

What makes these jokes funny is how relatable they are. It’s like waiting for your pizza delivery to arrive. You track it, you know it’s coming, but somehow it feels like it will never show up. One fan (@hetoxalt) put it best when they said,

“If it doesn’t get announced on my February break, I’m going to lose it.”

There’s this perfect mix of impatience and humor in that line that struck a chord with others. It's a shared feeling, one that makes it so relatable to fans who are in the same boat.

Others (like @lexxleonard) have joked that Rockstar should just release a full-length movie instead of the trailer 2.

It’s an exaggeration, but it reflects the fact that fans are so desperate for any content. They’ll take what they can get. The jokes here are not just for laughs. They are a coping mechanism. Fans are willing to make light of the situation while they anxiously wait for more details.

The funniest part, though, might be when people started saying they were “tortured in two ways” due to the double whammy of waiting for both Trailer 2 and the game itself. (Post via X/@Stealth0Five)

It’s a way of pointing out that not only is the Trailer 2 late, but the game’s release could still be years away. It’s a blend of sarcasm, frustration, and humor that’s so perfectly GTA.

Whether they’re mocking the delay or expressing just how much they need the trailer to drop already, everyone seems to be in on the joke. And in a way, that’s what makes it so funny: it’s a community effort.

The meme responses have been everywhere, and every new post adds another layer to the growing humor around the GTA 6 delay. It’s almost as if this meme culture has taken on a life of its own. Fans who are frustrated have turned their disappointment into creativity, making light of a situation that could have easily driven them to despair. It’s dark humor at its finest, and honestly, it’s pretty refreshing to see.

As we all know by now, GTA 6 is one of the most highly anticipated games in history. But Rockstar’s drawn-out teaser campaign has given us a lot of time to sit and think. What has emerged is a fanbase that knows how to take things in stride, using humor to cope with the long wait.

While we’re all still left wondering when Trailer 2 will finally drop, one thing is clear: whether it comes in February 2025 or 2026, the GTA 6 community will keep laughing their way through the wait. And honestly, that’s probably the most fun part of all.
