Rockstar Removes GTA Online Trailer Mocking GTA 6 Release Delay

Rockstar Games is generating buzz as fans eagerly await the release of “Grand Theft Auto 6” (GTA 6). Anticipation is high, with the game poised to become one of the largest video game launches in history. However, fans are currently faced with a delay, and Rockstar seeks to manage their expectations with fresh content for “GTA Online.”
Upcoming Updates for GTA Online
Recently, Rockstar unveiled a trailer promoting the last update for “GTA Online.” Unfortunately, aspects of the trailer sparked controversy among the community. Many fans interpreted the content as a jab at them regarding the ongoing delays surrounding GTA 6.
GTA 6 Release Delayed
Originally anticipated for an earlier release, GTA 6 has now been pushed back to May 2026. In light of this news, the trailer began with a voice-over: “I’m afraid our time isn’t up yet.” This phrase was met with mixed reactions from fans, some of whom felt it was mocking their patience in waiting for the highly anticipated sequel.
Unlisting of the Trailer
In a surprising move, Rockstar made the “GTA Online” trailer unlisted on YouTube soon after its launch. This decision restricted its visibility, allowing only those with a direct link to view it. Consequently, the trailer garnered less than 40,000 views within its first two days. This is strikingly low compared to the viral engagement of previous trailers.
Community Response
- Many fans criticized the opening line, highlighting its insensitivity towards the long-standing support for a game over a decade old.
- Some users speculated that the phrase might imply further delays for GTA 6.
- Conversely, a portion of fans expressed optimism, believing it hinted at significant upcoming revelations.
The ongoing conversation reflects the community’s focus on the main event: the release of GTA 6. Despite the attempts to promote “GTA Online,” it is clear that the fanbase is primarily concerned with updates related to the next installment. Rockstar has yet to comment officially on the trailer or the theories surrounding it.
