Rockstar’s finally ready to show GTA VI off to the world. It’s been a decade and two console generations since the release of GTA V. But that time’s over. Rockstar announced that it would reveal the game’s first trailer on Tuesday, December 5th, 2023, at 6AM PT / 9AM ET. Almost immediately, the announcement was adopted by other game studios that used Rockstar’s simple, bare-bones image and text with soft sherbert colors as a template for their own announcements.

Though Rockstar Games has kept mum on what to expect from the next installment in the series, we do have a bit of an idea of what the game looks like thanks to a hacker leaking 90 videos’ worth of material. In 2022, Arion Kurtaj — a member of the Lapsus$ hacker ring — leaked the videos, and in 2023, a London jury found him responsible for the act.

There have also been unconfirmed reports of another, more recent GTA VI leak in the days before the trailer’s world premiere, showing off a bit of the game’s map that allegedly came from a Rockstar employee’s kid.
