The first trailer and at current, only trailer for GTA VI was first released back in December of 2023, with a general “promise” that the game would be launching sometime in Fall 2025, barring any delays. Sadly, the latter seems to have become the case and Rockstar Games isn’t providing much details as to why the delay has happened.
