The trailer for GTA VI only just dropped – but many are already impatient to know the release date.
And some eagle-eyed viewers think they’ve figured out the release date from a hidden message in the trailer.
Keep your eyes peeled as you watch the trailer below:

The video game publisher went and dropped the GTA VI trailer a day early, after it was initially leaked.
Rockstar CEO, Sam Houser, said last month that the first trailer for the long-awaited game would be arriving in “early December”.
It was to be timed with the company’s 25th anniversary.
Then, on-the-edge-of-their-seat fans got another big update on Friday (1 December).
Rockstar revealed that the release date for the first trailer would be on 5 December at 9am ET.
Palm trees on the announcement also revealed the Vice City location.
However, after the son of an employee leaked the trailer on Sunday, the video-game publisher made the decision to drop it a day early.
“Our trailer has leaked so please watch the real thing on YouTube,” Rockstar said on Monday (4 December).
It left gamers stunned and scrambling to watch – smashing YouTube viewing figures previously held by MrBeast.
Set in Vice City, as expected, we were introduced to a woman called Lucia as one of the lead characters.
She’s the first-ever female lead character in GTA history.
Sadly, we’ll have to wait till 2025 for the full release.
But when in 2025? Some eagle-eyed viewers believe they’ve worked it out.
Just 15 seconds in we get a coastal view of Vice City as a plane flies across the screen.
It’s trailing a banner, which reads: “Why Sixty Nine When You Can Nine 1 Nine?”
While incomprehensible to some, GTA fans understood the assignment.
They took to social media to explain that it could be code for a potential release date.
“9.19.2025 Mark my Words,” one said.
“9/19/25 CONFIRMED,” a second confirmed.
“9th September 2025?” chimed yet another.
However, one sceptic debunked the theory.
“Its a reference of E11even Miami, a really famous club in Miami,” they said.
“This has to be an E11even parody,” confirmed another.
Only time – and Rockstar – will tell.

All Supercar Blondie contributors undergo editorial review and fact-checking to ensure accuracy and authority in automotive journalism. After gaining her BA Hons in French and English at the University of Nottingham, Amelia embarked on a vocational diploma from the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ). This led to numerous opportunities, from interning at Vogue to being on the small team that launched Women’s Health magazine in the UK, which was named the PPA Consumer magazine of the year for three years running. As Health, Beauty and Fitness editor, Amelia personally received a Johnson & Johnson Award and was shortlisted for both PPA and BSME titles. Since then, Amelia has created content for numerous titles and brands, including the Telegraph, 111 Skin, Waitrose, Red magazine, Stylist, and Elle, as well as being Head of Content at Vitality and Editor in Chief at INLondon magazine. “My superpower is translating technical jargon about the mechanical workings of a supercar into a relatable story you’ll want to share with your friends after you’ve read it.” After joining the SB Media family as a senior journalist in September of 2023, Amelia’s role has evolved to see her heading up the SEO output of the editorial team. From researching the most ‘Google-able’ key terms to producing evergreen content - it’s been a time of hard work, growth, and success for the editorial team and the Supercar Blondie website. “I like to think of myself as a ‘method journalist’. In other words: I live and breathe whatever I am writing about. When writing about fitness, I trained as a personal trainer, and as a beauty editor, I completed an ‘expert’ in scent diploma with the Fragrance Foundation. “During my tenure at Supercar Blondie, however, I did something I never thought possible: I passed my driving test at the age of 36. One day I’d love to train as a mechanic to better understand what happens under the hood, too. “My sweet spot is providing readers with a ‘takeaway’ (read: something new they didn’t know before) after reading every one of my stories. While I don’t claim to be an expert in the automotive world, I know the experts and bodies in the field to rely on to provide our readers with an informative and thought-provoking story every time they visit the site.”
