GTA 6 fans have spotted a sneaky clue that teased Trailer 1's release date and offers a date for the next one but is it all an elaborate hoax, or will we get news on April 1?Tech13:19, 10 Mar 2025Will we see GTA 6 next month?(Image: Still)Grand Theft Auto 6 is, as far as publisher Take-Two is concerned, due to launch in 2025, but Rockstar Games has said nothing since December 2023.After a whole year of nothing, fans thought they'd found a developer that 'confirmed' that the game is still on track for this year, but the wait goes on for the illusive Trailer 2.With fans still digging through the first trailer 15 months later, we're still waiting for a second look at Leonida and Vice City but fans think it's coming on April 1. While that might sound like an April Fool's joke, here's why it's more plausible than you might think.Content cannot be displayed without consentThe GTA fanbase found a T-shirt in GTA Online that correctly dated the game's first trailer, and it features additional dates around the outside.The number 040125 suggests April 1 could be the day, while the T-shirt is called the "One Day Will Reveal All" shirt lending further credence to the idea it's teasing something.Naturally, April Fool's occurs on April 1, so it could be a funny ruse, plus it'd lead to a lot of fun with the community.

Conviction: 39/50 Spaceship Parts."Article continues belowFor more on GTA 6, check out Rockstar's surprising link to British actor Danny Dyer, as well as everything we know about the game so far.For the latest breaking news and stories from across the globe from the Daily Star, sign up for our newsletters.
