Rumor watch: Trailer 3 — what's actually known (and one fake to avoid)

The confirmed baseline: Rockstar has released exactly two GTA VI trailers — Trailer 1 (December 4, 2023) and Trailer 2 (May 6, 2025). As of July 17, 2026, there is no Trailer 3.

The speculation (clearly labeled as such)

Games press expects a third trailer somewhere in the window between now and launch — possibly timed near a marketing beat like Take-Two’s earnings. Every specific date you’ve seen is projection, not announcement. Rockstar has said nothing.

The fakes

Fan-made uploads titled like official trailers (“Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer 3 | Rockstar Games”) circulate periodically, and we’ve seen at least one during this window. The tell is always the same: the uploader is not @RockstarGames. Check the channel name before you believe any “new trailer.”

Why this post carries a rumor banner

MAPIXA’s database only admits officially confirmed information. Speculation like trailer timing lives here in the news section, behind the banner you saw at the top — so you always know which kind of claim you’re reading.
