Summary
There has been plenty of wild speculation aboutGrand Theft Auto 6, and one fan thinks they figured out the game’s exact release date based on a t-shirt. After years of rumors and unanswered questions, Rockstar finally gave eager gamers their first official look atGrand Theft Auto 6with a new trailerearlier this month. This trailer confirmed that the game will be setin the popular Vice City for a new crime-filled storyline starring a Bonnie and Clyde-like couple looking to make a name for themselves in the fictional state of Leonida.
TheGrand Theft Auto 6trailer still left much to be revealed in the future, including its eventual release date. All fans know officially is thatGrand Theft Auto 6will launch sometime in 2025, and there has been a lot of speculation about the exact day and month the nextGTAwill finally be released. Even before thehighly-viewedGTA 6trailer, fans were studying everything from Rockstar social media posts to the phases of the Moon for clues about the next entry’s street date.
One particularly dedicated Reddit user by the handle of Cpyto_Man recently devised an elaborate new theory aboutGrand Theft Auto 6’s release date, revealing that they think the game could release on August 03, 2025. This theory is centered around a grayGTA Onlineavatar t-shirt that features a series of numbers running along the diamond in the center. Cpyto_Man thinks some of these could be connected toGrand Theft Auto 6, starting with the number “1252309” running along the upper right side. According to Cpyto_Man, this matches up with “12/5/23, 9 AM,” the original day and time that theGrand Theft Auto 6trailer was meant to be posted.
The second part of Cpyto_Man’sGrand Theft Auto 6release date theory is based on the upper left side of the t-shirt pattern, which contains the number strand “040125.” This could be read as the date of August 01, 2025, which Cpyto_Man believes could bethe release date forGrand Theft Auto 6. However, several users in the comment section of the Reddit post Cpyto_Man remain skeptical. For starters, the date in question is April Fools' Day - which isn’t exactly a day that a major game company like Rockstar would launch a highly anticipated title likeGrand Theft Auto 6.
Additionally, some users have pointed out that the supposed hidden dates in Cpyto_Man’s theory aren’t formatted the same, with the “release date” containing zeroes for its single-digit numbers while the trailer date doesn’t. All that is known for sure is that Rockstar Gamesplans to releaseGrand Theft Auto 6at some point in the year 2025, assuming the game doesn’t get delayed between now and then. In the meantime, fans will probably continue to devise interesting theories about the currently unknown release date forGrand Theft Auto 6.
