The gaming world is buzzing with anticipation for Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6), and a fresh leak has fans on edge. On April 20, 2025, an insider dropped a bombshell: Rockstar Games might unveil the first GTA 6 trailer in May 2025. This claim, supported by leaked documents and expert analysis, has sparked excitement and debate across the community. Here’s everything we know so far about this potential game-changer, from the leak’s details to what fans and analysts are saying.

The Leak That Has Everyone Talking

The rumor started when insider @GTAVI_Countdown posted on X, claiming Rockstar is gearing up for a major GTA 6 reveal in May 2025. According to the insider, the trailer will introduce the game’s setting and main character details that fans have been craving for years. This source has a decent track record, having accurately predicted the Red Dead Redemption 2 release, which gives the claim some weight.

Adding fuel to the fire, Dexerto reported on leaked documents hinting at a “major project reveal” scheduled for May. These documents suggest Rockstar is ramping up its marketing efforts, aligning perfectly with the insider’s timeline. If true, this could be the first official look at GTA 6, and it’s hard not to get excited about that possibility.

How the Community Is Reacting

GTA 6 fans are a passionate group, and this leak has them divided. On Reddit’s GTA6 subreddit, the hype is real. One user posted, “A trailer in May? I’m already counting the days!” But not everyone’s buying it. Another commenter said, “I’ve seen too many leaks fall apart. I’ll wait for Rockstar to confirm.” It’s a mix of hope and caution that’s easy to understand after years of waiting.

Over on X, the reactions are just as varied. One fan tweeted, “Yes he is 100% right, we will get official news on GTA 6. The news: “GTA 6 is still on track for fall 2025”, while another account countered, “If its really releasing this year how are we almost halfway into the year and there’s still no second trailer ads or anything to hype it up”. The community’s split reflects how much GTA 6 means to them and how desperate they are for solid news.

What the Experts Are Saying

Industry analyst Michael Pachter from Wedbush Securities chimed in, according to GameZone, and said, “May 2025 fits Rockstar’s pattern. They take their time, and this lines up with a 2025 or 2026 launch.” His take makes sense when you look at Take-Two Interactive’s recent financials. The company is projecting a huge revenue boost in fiscal year 2026, which many tie to GTA 6. You can dive into the details as VGC explains more.

Rockstar loves a big trailer to kick off their marketing, just like the one for GTA 5 that introduced Los Santos back in 2011. If this leak holds, May could bring a similar moment for GTA 6, maybe even tied to an event like Summer Game Fest. It’s a move that would definitely get people talking.

What Could the Announcement Reveal?

Assuming the leak is legit, what might we see in May? The trailer could spotlight the game’s setting. Rumors point to a return to Vice City or even multiple cities. GamesRadar has a solid rundown of the possibilities. Fans are also hoping for a look at the protagonists, maybe with a GTA 5-style multiple-character twist. Whatever Rockstar shows, it’ll be a huge moment for the gaming world.

Why This Leak Matters

Leaks like this stir up excitement, but they can also set fans up for disappointment if nothing pans out. For Rockstar, it’s a chance to see how the community reacts and tweak their plans. For us, it’s a sign that GTA 6 is getting closer, even if it’s still a waiting game. Whether you’re all in on the hype or taking it with a grain of salt, this rumor has everyone paying attention.

What’s Next for GTA 6?

If the insider is right, we’re only weeks away from the first real GTA 6 reveal. Keep an eye on Rockstar and Take-Two for any hints in the meantime. Want more on GTA 6 rumors and gaming news?
