Rockstar Games has once again set the internet ablaze after updating its official profiles with a brand-new image tied to Grand Theft Auto VI. The new visual, which features a color palette and design reminiscent of Vice City, has sparked widespread speculation that the long-awaited pre-order phase — or even the third official trailer — may be just around the corner.

The image, now displayed across Rockstar’s social media and website banners, appears to signal the beginning of a new marketing wave for the game. Many fans believe this is the company’s subtle way of teasing a major announcement after nearly a year of silence since the second trailer.

Across Reddit, X (formerly Twitter), and YouTube, fans have been dissecting every pixel of the updated banner, theorizing that Rockstar could be preparing for a massive pre-order rollout before the end of 2025. Others argue the update could precede the debut of Trailer 3, rumored to reveal deeper gameplay footage and the official release window.

Whether it’s the start of the countdown or another tease, one thing is clear — excitement for GTA 6 has reached new heights. The global gaming community is watching Rockstar’s every move, waiting for the next major reveal that could finally kick off the game’s long-anticipated launch cycle.
