Perhaps the most anticipated game of all time, and considering developer Rockstar's secretive nature, even the most minor GTA 6 morsels can send the series' legions of starving fans into a tizzy. Case in point: GTA 6 has been added to Rockstar's website database, with placeholders for four screenshots, cover art, and a release date appearing, and fans are frothing at the mouth. Apparently, it wasn't meant to go live just yet; Rockstar has since rolled these changes back.
Chronicled by the Twitter account GTA 6 Countdown (thanks, TheGamer), it alleges that while their front-end changes have been rolled back, the code accompanying the placeholders remains in the database, as well as references to digital purchases, possibly pre-orders. The account goes on to suggest that some kind of announcement could take place before Take-Two's investor conference call, scheduled for 16th May, although only time will tell.
Are you ready to see some fresh GTA 6 screenshots? Does the prospect of cover art get you out of bed in the morning? Let us know in the comments section below.

I would say maybe a trailer at the rumored PlayStation showcase, but GTA 6 is way too big and would overshadow everything else.
This really is the last true Triple A game. I haven't seen anticipation for a video game like this in years.
‘Accidentally’ updated.
Rockstar knows what they’re doing. This was 100% published intentionally. There will be tons of these ‘accidents’ up to release. They love winding the community up and I can’t say it doesn’t make me laugh every time.
@LifeGirl why do you say that?
@Boucho11 When I was a kid "Triple A" games were expected to be the gold standard of gaming. They had a momentum behind them. An anticipation. An excitement. People used to queue up at midnight for them.
"Triple A" nowadays is more often than not a byword for "expensive disappointment."
Take a gander here Yves Guillemot, this is probably a AAAA game.
@Americansamurai1 I could've seen it be present if PS5 Pro was being announced in the showcase to try and convince people that the console isn't meaningless. But the timing here is all off, Sony announces showcases a week in advance so it's unlikely the showcase would air before May 22nd (PS events are most commonly on Wednesdays and Thursdays) which is too late for GTA6 news if Rockstar wanted to announce release date and preorders before May 16th.
@Grumblevolcano very true, I do think they might hold a separate pro reveal in the fall which might be a perfect time to show it. Really think Sony is going to push the pro as the best place to play gta6
Honestly with how hyped up gta6 has become I'm expecting it to fail. We have people who have expectations so high for the game that it's going to be impossible to match them and people who will defend them because they are Rockstar and they don't miss but that means there's when more pressure on them. Look at betesda maryland praised for years and because of that everyone thought starfield would be a smash hit. Cdpr Witcher was a success so everyone had faith in cyberpunk. I'm cautious optimistic for gta6 but I don't see it being a smash hit like everyone else has already decided
I have a feeling they're going to ruin the single player game with an online mode, just like they did with 5. If they keep the two game modes 'completely' separate, I may buy it.
I'm expecting a much shorter story mode so they can once again milk the online mode. GTA 5 may be the pinnacle of the GTA series.
