Viral GTA 6 Trailer Debunked In Brutal Three-Word Message

Posted on by angelo

A “new” GTA 6 trailer is going viral on social media, but it’s been debunked with a simple, yet brutal, three-word message.

Ever since Rockstar Games revealed the first official look at GTA 6 in 2023 with the game’s first trailer, fans have been eagerly awaiting more information about the highly anticipated title.

The first trailer broke many records, confirmed that the series would return to Vice City for its sixth installment, and revealed the two main protagonists.

Although Rockstar has remained relatively quiet since then, only announcing a fall 2025 release during an investor call, the hype train hasn’t slowed down, with players hoping to get the second trailer soon.

On July 3, an X account named “Lil Rico” uploaded a video to the social media platform captioned “new GTA 6 trailer” and it began going viral, with many believing it to be legitimate.

The fake trailer uses some pretty impressive graphics and features the two confirmed protagonists, Jason and Lucia. However, this trailer is not real. It is mostly made up of footage stitched together from other trailers.

Additionally, the ending of the fake teaser even uses a fan-made GTA 6 logo instead of the real one that was first shown in early footage in 2023.

The video was even accompanied by one of X’s community notes, completely debunking any possibility of it being official.

Below the post, the note reads “no, it’s not” and links to Rockstar’s YouTube account where the company has not mentioned anything about a new trailer.

As previously mentioned, Rockstar has yet to announce any plans for a new trailer. As we get closer to the Fall 2025 release window, expect to hear a lot more about the game.

Rockstar promised that GTA VI would “set the benchmark for entertainment” and even took drastic measures to prevent leaks and give the game an extra edge by asking its developers to return to work in the office.

Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick has said the company wants GTA 6 to be nothing short of “perfection.”
