Rockstar Games has updated the GTA 6 trailer page on its official website, now listing the new release date as November 19, 2026. Interestingly, these changes have not yet appeared on the studio’s official YouTube channel, where the release date still reads May 26, 2026. This discrepancy has sparked discussion among fans, with some wondering whether Rockstar is rolling out the update gradually or simply hasn’t refreshed the YouTube metadata yet. The first GTA 6 trailer, released on December 5, 2023, became a global phenomenon. It set a historic milestone as the most-viewed trailer in YouTube history, amassing 268 million views to date. This achievement surpassed the previous record holder — the trailer for Avengers: Infinity War. The video has also garnered more than 12 million likes, reflecting the extraordinary level of excitement and engagement surrounding the upcoming entry in Rockstar’s flagship series.
The second trailer, unveiled on May 6, 2025, continued the trend of massive audience interest. It has already reached 139 million views and 6.2 million likes, further solidifying GTA 6’s status as one of the most anticipated entertainment releases of the decade — not just in gaming, but across all media. Expectations have also been heightened by comments from respected journalist and insider Tom Henderson. According to Henderson, the development of GTA 6 is nearly complete, with the game now entering its final polishing phase. He emphasized that Rockstar is deeply focused on refining every detail to ensure the game meets — and likely exceeds — the studio’s traditionally high standards. With updated release information, record-breaking trailers, and growing insider confidence, all signs point to GTA 6 steadily approaching the finish line. While fans have faced delays, anticipation continues to build as Rockstar prepares one of the most ambitious open-world games ever created.
