Eagle-eyed Redditor pointed out the official GTA 6 YouTube playlist was updated on December 2. This update, the first since Trailer 1 was released, has led fans to believe a second trailer is imminent.
One prevailing theory suggests that the new trailer could be unveiled on December 4, marking the one-year anniversary of the original announcement trailer. Others think Rockstar might debut it during The Game Awards on December 12 (or December 13 for UK viewers), ensuring a high-profile audience for the big reveal. Like one user noted, “This is the most credible hopium I've seen,” while another piped in commenting, “May be they have already uploaded the Trailer 2 video and hidden it. Scheduled it for their planned date.”
