The excitement around GTA 6 is reaching new heights, and fans are buzzing about a new theory: Sony might reveal the next GTA 6 trailer on December 3.

While it’s exciting to imagine, let’s take a closer look at what’s fueling this speculation—and whether it holds any truth.

What’s Behind the December 3 Trailer Rumor?

A post on the popular r/GTA6 subreddit kicked off the discussion.

Titled “Frankly I hope I’m wrong,” a user shared their belief that the next GTA 6 trailer could drop very soon.

But what’s their reasoning?

Here’s the breakdown:

The first GTA 6 trailer launched in early December last year, right before the GTA Online winter update.

Based on Rockstar’s pattern with past games like GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2 (RDR2), trailers for these games were spaced out in a way that boosted attention around key updates.

The user also mentioned rumors about Sony securing marketing rights for GTA 6, which could mean the trailer might align with a PlayStation-related event—possibly a State of Play showcase on December 3.

Does all this mean we’ll actually get a trailer next week?

Well, let’s dig deeper.

Examining Rockstar’s Trailer Timeline

Here’s how Rockstar handled trailers for their past blockbusters:

While these patterns seem random, RDR2’s second trailer came after Rockstar delayed the game’s release.

So, basing predictions solely on past timelines is shaky at best.

The Sony Marketing Rumor

Another big part of this theory is that Sony might have secured exclusive marketing rights for GTA 6, tying it to the upcoming PS5 Pro.

Some fans believe this could lead to a major PlayStation announcement on December 3, during a possible State of Play event.

But there’s a problem: Sony hasn’t said anything about an upcoming State of Play.

Industry insiders, like Giant Bomb’s Jeff Grubb, have also dismissed these rumors, saying there’s no indication of an event happening soon.

So, Will We See a Trailer on December 3?

While the idea of a new GTA 6 trailer is exciting, this latest theory doesn’t hold much weight.

Past trailer timelines, unconfirmed rumors about Sony’s marketing rights, and the lack of an official PlayStation event announcement all point to this being more wishful thinking than reality.

That said, fans can’t be blamed for getting creative with their guesses. The hype around GTA 6 is sky-high, and with the first trailer dropping last December, it’s natural to hope for more news soon.

Until Rockstar officially announces anything, though, we’ll have to wait and see.

For now, let’s keep our eyes on Rockstar’s usual platforms for updates—and maybe enjoy the humor behind theories like the now-famous moon theory!

Final Thoughts

It’s fun to speculate, but don’t get too carried away by every rumor.

Whether the next trailer comes in December or later, one thing’s for sure: Rockstar will deliver something amazing when the time is right.

Stay tuned!
