My 5 predictions for what Rockstar shows us in the next 100 days
We're under four months out now and the info drip has been pretty slow. But with the release date barreling toward us, Rockstar's gotta start turning the hype dial up. I've been thinking about what they might drop in the final stretch, and here's my list of five reveals I think we'll see before November.
1. A proper gameplay trailer
Trailer 2 gave us a taste, but I'm talking about a full-on gameplay breakdown. Something like the old GTA V gameplay series where they walk you through shooting, driving, the wanted system, maybe a mission snippet. We've seen the world, now show us how it feels to play in it.
2. GTA Online 2.0 details
They've been quiet about the online side, but you know it's coming. I'm expecting a dedicated trailer or a blog post outlining the new structure. Will it be a separate client? How are they handling character transfers? What's the hook this time? They need to give the millions of Online players a reason to jump ship.
3. A story trailer with some actual plot
We know Lucia and Jason, we know the Bonnie and Clyde vibe, but I want to see the stakes. Who's the antagonist? What's the big score? A story trailer that sets up the conflict without spoiling too much would be perfect right about now.
4. Pre-order and edition deep dive
Yeah, pre-orders are live, but the Ultimate Edition details are still pretty thin. I think we'll get a full breakdown of what's in the Vintage Vice City Pack, maybe some exclusive vehicles or properties. And they might finally clarify if the GTA+ subscription carries over or if there's a new tier for GTA 6.
5. The wildcard
Rockstar always has a surprise. Could be a celebrity cameo reveal, a new tech feature like advanced AI companions, or something completely out of left field. I'm not even gonna try to guess, but I'm betting it's the kind of thing that breaks the internet for a day.
Whatever they show, I just hope it's soon. The wait is getting painful and my YouTube recommendations are 90% fake GTA 6 videos at this point.

A proper gameplay trailer
That's my top priority too. Rockstar's best previews always embed mission structure. Give me thirty seconds of a Lucia and Jason job with setup phases and an escape route, like The Paleto Score reveal cycle, and I'm sold on the loop.
A proper gameplay trailer
This is what I want most too. But I'm also curious about map size. Leonida reminds me of northeast Brazil, you know? Hot coast, swamps. I hope they show more of Grassrivers or Ambrosia in next trailer. Wait here in Brazil is killing me.
the online 2.0 reveal is the only one that matters for RP. separate client means a fresh modding pipeline and new server culture. dont care about lucias arc or the vintage pack, just show me how the mechanics feel. animations, inventory, cop AI. thats what builds characters.
Grassrivers or Ambrosia
Same. I'm hoping the next trailer pans north from Vice City toward Ambrosia (or at least Grassrivers). Los Santos never teased its outskirts this late.
A proper gameplay trailer
I'm less hyped for story beats and more for how the engine handles weird edge cases. If they show driving physics or cop AI, I want to see if guardrails still launch cars or if swim physics break in the Grassrivers swamps. It's probably too niche for a marketing trailer though. Does anyone else watch reveals looking for potential glitch vectors?
