Rockstar announces when it's going to drop GTA 6 trailer

Everybody try and stay calm - Rockstar has announced the release date for the GTA 6 trailer.

For years and years we've been expecting a big announcement - and today (1 December) we finally got it.

It all started last month, when Rockstar Games took to X to share a long-awaited update to its fanbase.

Millions were instantly filled with excitement when Boss Sam Houser revealed that the first trailer for GTA VI would be coming in 'early December'.

"In 1998, Rockstar Games was founded on the idea that video games could come to be as essential to culture as any other form of entertainment, and we hope that we have created games you love in our efforts to be part of that evolution," the tweet read.

"We are very excited to let you know that in early December, we will release the first trailer for the next Grand Theft Auto.

"We look forward to many more years of sharing these experiences with all of you."

And posting on X today, Rockstar Games revealed that the release date for the first trailer will be on 5 December at 9am ET (2pm UK time).

Although fans will still need to wait a little longer to play the highly anticipated video game, it seems that those with a Netflix subscription will now be able to enjoy three classic GTA titles in the meantime.

Netflix said last month: "Starting today, fans can pre-register to play Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition, featuring the genre-defining titles of Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, each updated for mobile.

"Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition adds to a growing catalog of more than 80 mobile games, with must-play titles across all genres adding further value to all Netflix memberships — including through one of the most iconic series in history, without any ads, in-app purchases, or extra fees."

Excited by the news, one gamer tweeted: "Netflix wasn't playing around when they said they want to be part of the gaming industry."

"And just like that, I learned Netflix has games. Since when?" a second person wrote.

"Playing video games with my roku TV remote as god intended," added a third.

“Our job is to incrementally scale to the place where games have a material impact on the business,” Netflix co-CEO Greg Peters told analysts on the Q3 2023 earnings interview last month.

“We’ve got ambitious plans there.

“We want to really grow our engagement by many multiples of where it is today over the next handful of years.”
