It’s officially been two years since Rockstar announced the initial Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer. This lengthy wait has been filled with delays and controversies impacting the sequel to one of the most successful video game franchises in history. Although the expected launch of GTA 6 draws closer, the milestone of its first trailer is a reminder of the challenges ahead.

The original trailer made waves by breaking multiple records on YouTube when it launched in 2023, soaring past other game trailers with its massive view count. Fans have dissected the trailer for any clues about the game’s release and content, yet the mounting anticipation turns to frustration as the months slowly pass.

Several delays have added to the anticipation, with Rockstar initially promising a 2025 release, which now appears more like 2026. Despite the uncertainty surrounding the game’s development, there have been hints of positive progress. Nevertheless, the fate of GTA 6 remains tightly under wraps as fans await any additional information or new trailers.
