GTA 6 Trailer Leaks a Day Earlier Than Expected [Update] [IGN]

Less than 24 hours before its anticipated debut, the Grand Theft Auto VI trailer appears to have leaked. The unconfirmed trailer appeared on X/Twitter early Monday afternoon and quickly spread like wildfire around the Internet.

Our trailer has leaked so please watch the real thing on YouTube: https://t.co/T0QOBDHwBe

The account was quickly suspended, more or less confirming that the trailer was indeed real. Still, the post had thousands of likes before the trailer was taken down, meaning that plenty of fans got eyes on it before it went down.

Rockstar followed by releasing the actual trailer to its channels with a self-deprecating, “Our trailer has leaked so please watch the real thing on YouTube.”

Rockstar has struggled with leaks since 2022, when a major hack resulted in the release of a host of information about the game. Over the weekend, a Rockstar employee’s son appeared to leak a few seconds of info in the run-up to its release.

With GTA VI’s official trailer now live and the release date set for 2025, the Internet is already going wild breaking down the first 90 seconds of one of the most anticipated games of the decade.
