On April 1, fans of Rockstar Games found themselves caught in a frenzy after a post claimed that a work-in-progress version of GTA 6’s second trailer had been secretly shown to executives at CinemaCon. The report, shared by the X account @GTASixInfo, suggested that although no footage or specifics had leaked, the screening was part of an internal rollout leading to a public reveal. This immediately grabbed attention, raising the question: Was it an early glimpse of the next GTA 6 trailer or just an elaborate prank?
GTA 6 Trailer 2: Viral Claim Sparks Debate
The tweet spread quickly, sparking debates across the gaming community about the possibility of Rockstar starting private screenings of GTA 6’s Trailer 2. The claim seemed plausible to some fans, while others questioned its credibility. Rockstar has maintained a secretive approach to its marketing efforts, and CinemaCon, an event dedicated primarily to film, is not known for showcasing video game content. This unusual mix made the rumour seem unlikely to many.
