Summary
2023 has already been one of the biggest and best years for video game releases, with titles likeResident Evil 4 Remake,Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom,Starfield,Alan Wake 2, andBaldur’s Gate 3all landing this year. But while there are more great games to play than ever before, some fans want even more, and they might finally get it, withGrand Theft Auto 6apparently set to finally get itsofficial revealvery soon.
It’s been a decade sinceGrand Theft Auto 5first released, and it’s been years since fans started to speculate on the whereabouts of a potentialGrand Theft Auto 6. While these rumors have become increasingly prevalent in the last few years things really hit a fever-pitch last September, when an early build of the game was leaked online along with a horde of information. Since then, a new rumor has popped up every other week claiming thatGrand Theft Auto 6will be announced imminently. But while those rumors have never really earned a response from Rockstar, the most recent one has, with Rockstar using it to officially confirm thatGTA 6is getting its first trailer in December, which gives the footage an obvious, but perfect, potential release date: The Game Awards.

The Game Awards Is the Best Place for a Grand Theft Auto 6 Reveal
In a recent post byRockstar Games' official Twitter, the developer/publisher talks about its excitement for the studio’s upcoming 25th anniversary, which lands in December. After thanking fans for their continued support, Rockstar ends its thread with an official confirmation thatGrand Theft Auto 6will receive its first trailer in “early December.” When it comes to big game reveals at the start of December, that usually only means one thing: The Game Awards.
This year marksThe Game Awards' 10th anniversary, and there’s no better pull for it thanGrand Theft Auto 6. Over the last 10 years, Geoff Keighley and all those involved have continued to expand and improve upon The Game Awards, to the point where it’s now genuinely one of the biggest nights out of the entire year for the gaming industry. The Game Awards just continues to get better and better every year, and the last show definitely proved that it was on the right track, striking an excellent balance between celebrity endorsements and cameos and giving the games industry its time to shine on its own.
IfGrand Theft Auto 6is going to be revealed in early December, then the most obvious place for it is The Game Awards, taking place on December 7. And while it’s the most obvious option, it’s also the one that makes the most sense and is probably for the best. The Game Awards has become an unmissable night for anyone even remotely interested in the gaming industry, and it would be a win-win for all parties involved. Keighley would get to show offGTA 6for the very first time, and Rockstar would have millions of eyes on its game instantly, with last year’s Game Awards achieving over 100 million concurrent viewers.
On the other hand, Rockstar does have a habit of just announcing and unveiling its games on Twitter. Where most huge franchises like to tease their next entries viaE3, Summer Games Fest, or the Game Awards, Rockstar tends to just drop a trailer onto the internet rather unceremoniously. ButGrand Theft Auto 6is bigger than any past Rockstar game, and if Rockstar was going to break the mold and roll out the red carpet with any title, it would be this one.
