- Quick Answer: GTA 6 Trailer 3 lacks an official release date, but speculation suggests Rockstar could launch it around Take-Two's August 7 earnings call.
When pre-orders for GTA 6 went live in June, fans believed that Trailer 3 would drop soon after.
And they were wrong. In fact, nearly two months have passed since pre-orders went live, and Rockstar Games has remained tight-lipped over the release of the much-anticipated trailer. This has people asking one question: where is it?
While Rockstar still hasn't announced when we can expect the trailer, I have some guesses, and a new "leak" points towards the same thing.
Where Is the GTA 6 Trailer 3?
For other triple-A games, the trailer would have dropped at the same time pre-orders went live. But not for GTA 6. Rockstar Games operates on its own timeline. They know that the internet is sitting in anticipation and holding its breath for the trailer.
My guess? We're going to get an update during Take-Two's earnings call on August 7. Companies love pairing their earnings calls with massive public hype to drive consumer demand, and the best way to do that is with Trailer 3.
Take this with a huge grain of salt, but a new rumor circulating on Reddit also suggests the trailer is close, as user u/pinymax claimed to have seen the latest marketing cut, which corresponds to the game's third trailer, and thinks it will drop on Thursday, a day before the earnings call.
The user explains that the trailer will first follow a pelican flying around for the first few seconds until it steals fries from a tourist. Then the game logo will appear, and the trailer will proceed to show only gameplay "with no cinematic cuts."
The source of this rumor is questionable, as the user deleted the post and has no track record of leaking information before, but it would make sense. After all, Rockstar promised that the game's marketing would start in Summer 2026, and there is less than a month left before the summer season officially ends.
Back in February, Take-Two's CEO, Strauss Zelnick, even said in an interview on Mad Money with Jim Cramer that the marketing will be "astonishing." So far, the marketing has been little to none, which is making some players believe that another delay is coming.

But let's be honest - even if it doesn't drop before or after the earnings call, we're probably still going to buy the game. We're past the point of needing brief cinematic trailers. However, I would love to see actual gameplay. I want to see how we switch between Jason and Lucia during heists and how the NPC AI reacts to the open-world chaos.
Whether the trailer releases this week or later this month, it will mark the moment GTA 6 goes from a promise to a tangible reality.
