GTA 6, which industry money-types are predicting will kick off some unprecedented economic orgy of game consumption, is having a fascinating effect on people. In a sign of the trapped state in which the industry finds itself, others "hope" the quality and quantity of Rockstar's next will be such that the price of AAA video games can finally rise as high as $100, or your local equivalent.
With the official reveal of GTA 6 now over a year old, it's putting it mildly to say fans are hungry for more. According to one relatively sane theory, you can expect another trailer on 30th January 2025, next Thursday. Account GTA6Plus and hopeful onlookers are convinced Rockstar is several bizarre steps ahead.
The conspiratorial web begins with Rockstar's reveal of the Vapid Dominator GT muscle car, which GTA+ subscribers can look forward to enjoying (thanks, TheGamer). The car itself is an irrelevant afterthought, a vehicle (heh) by which the developer signals (via numbers on a container in the background) when fans can expect to see a new trailer.
Together, these numbers (allegedly) indicate a #2 trailer release date of 30th January. Still not convinced, huh? Alright then, Rockstar super-fan, consider that previously, the firm released trailers for GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2 on 31st January 2013 and 1st February 2018, respectively. Both Thursdays. Guess what day of the week 30th January falls on in 2025? We'll allow a moment to collect the shattered pieces of your mind.
We love this prediction and hope it's proven true; thankfully, we don't have long to wait. We'll see you all back here next Thursday for that new GTA trailer, eh? What do you think of the numbers? Do they *have* to mean something? Let us know in the comments section below.

You know, you don't need to report on every unsubstantiated rumor or conspiracy.
Why is this even news? Can you just stick with the higher standard news and reporting that we used to expect from this site?
I really wish we can block some of your staffs so I don't need to read unsubstantiated rumours like a cheap tabloid gossip, that's not what I'm here for.
That Phantom Blade Zero trailer is f*ckin lit.
Why the f*** do gamers keep thinking marketing teams are cryptically hinting towards every trailer/event drop?
Here's some advice, gamers: marketing is a serious job ran by serious people who want their materials to be seen by as many potential customers as possible. If a company wants you to know about an upcoming trailer, you'll know. They aren't going to drop random hints in innocuous tweets. More than likely — especially for studios as big as R* — the person running social media pages isn't even in direct contact with those making marketing materials.
Reality is a lot less magical than you think it is.
@Enuo 4.30am here. Couldn't sleep so I opened YouTube and saw that trailer.
Now I definitely can't sleep.
That combat is insane.
Right just stop it - I dont know anything, you definitely dont know anything (the people making these theories that is)... The trailer will land when it lands 🙂
@breakneck they do though. He explained it thoroughly to me yesterday when I asked a similar question. No doubt you may get a similar reply.
@QiaraIris @breakneck "genuinely, there might not seem like much of a distinction to the casual reader. But in good faith, for a reputable outlet and under my own name, what I’m really doing is reporting on the Warhorse director’s response to what are (my opinion) probably intentional lies, which have real financial consequences for the actual studio.
That’s considered different, if done well or at least professionally. There’s further nuance, too; you’ll note I’ve thoroughly sourced the story, without giving air to the accounts responsible for the rumour in the first place. The real story here is the dev’s response, considered newsworthy under Push Square’s purview haha. I appreciate the interest and curiosity! 🫡." Just so you know the stance they take on this.
(This is not unconstructive feedback I am helping fellow gamers understand the nuances between rampant rumour mongering and highlighting useful informative information 👍. )
@RoomWithaMoose 1st trailer date was promoted like that on GTA Online T-shirt "One day will reveal it all". So if you dont care about it doesnt mean it couldnt happen. And why not have some silly fun while waiting for something to happen? You are tired of that? Then skip past GTA6 posts
I think it's just me, but I struggled to read this article. I had to keep reading bits again. Not sure if it's the wording or flow 🤷🏻
Removed - unconstructive feedback
I will NEVER pay £100 for any game. Daylight robbery, pure greed, and shows total contempt for gamers.
There is some miserable people on this site now.... Just don't click the article if it bothers you that much, but instead you clicked it, read it AND felt the need to comment on it. Now that is dedication right there!!!!
Go to the location the picture is taken and you can find the same numbers. GTA 5 predicted GTA 6 second trailer omg
@BanChatum could not have said it better myself.
@REALAIS 99% sure the t-shirt with 100 numbers on it that happened to have a sequence corresponding to a date that likely wasn't internally decided upon when the shirt was released was not a tease.
It was just a shirt with numbers. That the shirt only really got attention after the trailer dropped is more evidence of that; the marketing department did not go to the asset designer and tell them to make this cosmetic — meant to keep player engagement up — specifically to be SO cryptic about a trailer that no one even noticed.
Again, reality is less magical than you think it is.
A broken clock is right twice a day.
Not necessarily that day but I think GTA6 news will be next week. It's the week before Take Two's earnings call and investors will want to know if GTA6 is still on track for Fall 2025 release. It would also explain somewhat the odd timing of the Switch 2 reveal.
I waited long time for the next GTA6 trailer and all I got was this lousy t-shirt 👕.
GTA6 fans are dogs that chase their own tail
Like i say 01/25 we see a new trailer.because? Because all planet will be align hahahahah
@Grumblevolcano good one hahaha i agree
@breakneck Trust me, they don't report on all of the rumors or skepticism. The GTA 6 reddit has so many crazy theories that it's turned into a cult-like subreddit now.
