GTA 6 could hit its 2025 date, or it could be delayed

The GTA 6 community is going wild for a second trailer this month, and as we've covered already, they think it'll drop this week today, on Thursday, January 30, to be precise.

Despite being the game many think could 'save' the video game industry, Rockstar Games hasn't said anything in well over a year, but with an earnings call on the horizon for parent company Take-Two Interactive, there's every chance the latest 'number theory' is correct.

Here's why the GTA 6 community thinks the second trailer is coming on Thursday:

Is GTA 6 Trailer 2 coming this week?

As shared by GTA 6+ on X (formerly Twitter), the reveal of a new GTA Online alongside numbers on a shipping container is worth a closer look.

All of the numbers added together make 30, and the number 2 is in a larger font, meaning some fans are expecting the second trailer on January 30.

We admit, it's not entirely believable right off the bat, but there's more. As the account points out, both GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2's release dates were on Thursdays and, as luck would have it, January 30 is a Thursday.

We've only got a few days to go to find out if Rockstar really is planning something for January 30, or whether it'll be just another GTA Online update on the day instead, but it's far from the most surprising theory we've had so far.
