If you know someone who can’t wait for GTA 6, check in on them. Rockstar’s fans are in a frenzy right now, all because of one small detail. It’s been almost a year since Rockstar Games dropped the first GTA 6 trailer, and since then, things have been very quiet without more about the release.
That’s left fans digging for any clue, looking at old trailers and even counting vehicles in screenshots, only to find out something new if no one has ever noticed before in this one year. But right now, I can say that there’s fresh hope. There have recently been a lot of wild guesses circulation on Reddit and some fans think Rockstar just dropped a major hint that we might see a new trailer this month.
Back in November 2023, Rockstar shared an image to promote GTA Online. If you have not seen that image, you can go right now and witness a big moon in the background in that pic—and, interestingly, what moon phase the image showed was the same as it would be in real life on December 1, 2023. That was the day for the first trailer of GTA VI from Rockstar.

The same scenario is now happening recently when Rockstar shared another GTA Online update on November 1. And guess what? The moon is back, and it’s in a specific phase: Waning Gibbous. For anyone not following moon phases closely, that’s the phase we’ll see next on Friday, November 22. Fans are currently convinced this is when Rockstar plans to release the next GTA 6 trailer.
One user on Reddit, Fabrizerlo, was one of the first to spot this connection. Now, the idea is spreading like wildfire in the GTA community. I also have some belief in this theory and can’t force myself to go against it—a similar moon phase was hinted at in the last trailer, so fans have good reason to think Rockstar’s repeating the pattern.
Will it happen? Time will tell. But a lot of Grand Theft Auto fans are betting that Rockstar will drop another teaser soon, especially with the planned 2025 release date just around the corner. For now, everyone is watching closely and might be visiting Subreddit or X every day to see something new. The countdown to November 22 is on.
