What to Expect From Grand Theft Auto 6 in 2024

With Grand Theft Auto 6 recently receiving its first official trailer, fans should expect some exciting content reveals to come throughout 2024.

This was confirmed by the recent PlayStation Blog Game of the Year awards, which uses fan polling to hand out awards to various games. One of these award categories is Most Anticipated Game of 2024 and Beyond. Fourth place went to Dragon's Dogma 2, while Marvel's Wolverine managed to snag third. Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth was the runner-up, but Grand Theft Auto 6 took home the top prize. In other words, Grand Theft Auto 6 won an award two years before its launch and with only one trailer out.

  • Platinum - Grand Theft Auto 6

Grand Theft Auto 6 may only have one trailer so far, but it has clearly done a great job of getting fans hyped for the game. While brief, the Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer is packed with information and interesting details, most notably confirming the game's Vice City setting and female protagonist Lucia. Fans have been tearing apart and analyzing the GTA 6 trailer since it dropped, and hopefully it's enough to tide them over until the next trailer is ready.

Based on how Rockstar has promoted its previous games, the most likely scenario is that the next Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer won't be out until late 2024. Of course, it's entirely possible that Rockstar will break from its established patterns and release a new GTA 6 trailer before then, though fans shouldn't hold their breath. Whenever the next GTA 6 trailer drops, it will be interesting to see what new details it has in store, and if it reveals the game's specific release date.
