Yet anotherGrand Theft Auto 6trailer theory has hit the internet after a suspect series of numbers appeared in a Rockstar social media post.GTA 6theories have run rampantfor the past decade or so, but have only intensified since the release of the first-ever trailer in December 2023. Players have grown attached to every last detail in that original trailer, attempting to extrapolate as much information as possible from 90 scant seconds of footage. A year and a month later, that’s stillthe only piece of marketing materialGTA 6has released- but that may change.
A post on X (formerly Twitter) by fan accountGTA 6+insists thatthere’s something meaningful in a recent social media post by Rockstar, hinting at a January 30 release date forGTA 6’s second trailer. The theory goes like this: a series of numbers on a shipping container in the corner of an image recently posted to the official Rockstar account to advertise this month’s GTA+ benefits add up to 30, except for an isolated “2” in a white box. The poster holds that this suggests trailer number “2” could be coming on the 30th.
Fans Of GTA 6 Think These Numbers On A Shipping Container Have Meaning
But Are They Just A Coincidence?
Others chose to read the numbers differently, pointing to the sequence “82226” -in other words, perhaps an August 2, 2026release date forGTA 6. Of course, that would mean the game has been delayed from its previous 2025 release window, and it would leave the “93” at the end hanging without explanation.
Analysts Claim Making GTA 6 $80-$100 Would Be A “Turning Point” For The Gaming Industry, & Fans Aren’t Happy
A gaming analyst has commented that many are hopeful for Grand Theft Auto 6 to change the industry standard of pricing, potentially charging $80-100.
Still, there’s some merit to the shipping container theoryin general: the numbers stick out like a sore thumb to the point that they’re genuinely distracting. It seems odd, to say the least, that whoever took the screenshot wouldn’t move the car or the container out of the way. And after looking at tens of images of shipping containers inGTA 5, I can’t find a single one that appears to have this particular sequence painted on it.
Several GTA 6 Theories Have Been Rumbling Around The Internet
But None Of Them Have Held True
But again, this is just one of about a million differentGTA 6trailer theories currently circulating online - and none of those have proven true yet. First, fans held another trailer would be released to coincide with the one-year anniversary of the previous trailer. Others insisted that a trailer would come before the end of 2024 to reveal a more specific 2025 release window. Still others hoped for a reveal in early January, to start 2025 off with a bang.
A former Rockstar dev has even admitted that this kind ofwild speculation is great forGTA 6. Instead of spending millions on advertisingGTA 6traditionally, Rockstar is keeping it relevant by doing absolutely nothing, allowing fan conversations to crop up organically every few weeks. Still, this radio silence can only go on so long. There has to be some sort of update in the pipeline. Either way, I’d encourageGrand Theft Auto 6fans to take this latest theory with a grain of salt to avoid disappointment if it doesn’t turn out to be true.
