If Sony was making space for GTA 6 pre-orders then why has it announced a sale for 13th May? Will people stop pre-ordering after one day?<\/p>\n<p>Of course, the biggest kicker was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/news\/2026\/05\/gta-6-fans-crushed-as-next-game-informer-cover-revealed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the Game Informer cover reveal<\/a>, which turned out to be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/games\/ps5\/blood_of_dawnwalker\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Blood of Dawnwalker<\/a>. The magazine has received a lot of unwarranted hate for that, which seems a bit unfair, as it never promised anything.<\/p>\n<p>As we\u2019ve repeated multiple times now, a new GTA 6 trailer is coming \u2013 the game\u2019s due out in about six months, and Take-Two\u2019s already said the marketing will start this summer.<\/p>\n<p>Any day now.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Update #1 [Tue 12th May 2026, 1:15pm]:<\/strong> Well, folks \u2013 today is the day.<\/p>\n<p>Fans have tied themselves into pretzels expecting a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/games\/ps5\/grand_theft_auto_6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">GTA 6<\/a> trailer today, 12th May \u2013 but there\u2019s no actual guarantee Rockstar has anything planned at all.<\/p>\n<p>As we outlined in the original article below, the evidence is shaky and circumstantial; there are no real patterns that make this a guarantee.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, fans really are expecting to see new footage of the game today, and we\u2019ll be keeping a close eye on all of Rockstar\u2019s socials to see if it responds.<\/p>\n<p>Our guess? Nothing is going to happen \u2013 but we do suspect GTA 6 updates are imminent now, so it\u2019s only a matter of time.<\/p>\n<p>Will GTA 6 get a new trailer on 12th May?

But a year with no real new information is unique \u2013 especially as the game was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/news\/2025\/11\/gta-6-delayed-again-pushed-back-to-november-2026\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">originally due out this month<\/a>, on 26th May.<\/p>\n<p>Now it\u2019ll arrive on 19th November, of course, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/news\/2026\/05\/playstation-urges-ps4-players-to-upgrade-to-ps5-for-gta-6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sony\u2019s been encouraging PS4 players to upgrade their consoles<\/a> in preparation.<\/p>\n<p>We know from recent leaks that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/news\/2026\/04\/ps5-already-winning-gta-6-battle-as-playstation-drives-64percent-of-gta-online-spend\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PS4 is the second most popular platform<\/a> for current game <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/games\/ps5\/grand_theft_auto_v\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">GTA 5<\/a> \u2013 specifically its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/games\/ps5\/grand_theft_auto_v\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">GTA Online<\/a> mode \u2013 and so it makes sense it\u2019d be eager to get fans to upgrade. We know <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/news\/2026\/05\/playstation-seemingly-lands-gta-6-ps5-marketing-deal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PlayStation likely has a marketing deal<\/a> with the new title, too.<\/p>\n<p>But in absence of any new information, fans are going stir crazy expecting new information next week, on 12th May.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s why:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Rockstar said GTA 6\u2019s marketing cycle would <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/news\/2026\/02\/gta-6-on-course-for-november-2026-launch-marketing-starts-in-summer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">start this summer<\/a>, and while that season doesn\u2019t officially get underway until June, we\u2019re there or thereabouts, aren\u2019t we?<\/li>\n<li>Take-Two\u2019s next earnings call takes place on 21st May, and Trailer 2 for GTA 6 dropped nine days before its earnings call in 2025. There\u2019s not enough evidence for a pattern here in our opinion, but 12th May is indeed nine days before 21st May.<\/li>\n<li>There <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/news\/2026\/05\/ps-store-deals-tab-returns-confirms-next-sale-for-13th-may\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">are no deals<\/a> on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/tags\/ps-store\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>PS Store<\/strong><\/a> right now, with the next sale planned to begin on 13th May. Some fans believe Sony\u2019s leaving an open slot on 12th May in anticipation for pre-orders getting underway.<\/li>\n<li>The next issue of Game Informer will be released digitally on 12th May, with its cover likely to be revealed on the same day. Some fans believe it could feature GTA 6.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Personally, we reckon a lot of this is a stretch \u2013 what does the PS Store\u2019s lack of deals really have to do with GTA 6? \u2013 but Rockstar\u2019s going to have to drop a new trailer at some point, and it must be coming soon.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" align=\"center\"><p>I\u2019m seeing a lot of of Tuesday, the 12th of May believers.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m one of them.<\/p>\n<p>I really think GTA 6 Trailer 3 is coming next week.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve waited so long\u2026 it\u2019s finally time. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/IC8yZikoOl\">pic.twitter.com\/IC8yZikoOl<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 RockStation (@rockstationonx) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/rockstationonx\/status\/2052918322103042168?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">May 9, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>We\u2019re not really buying the 12th May rumour specifically, but we reckon we will see more of Rockstar\u2019s latest over the next month or so.<\/p>\n<p>Where do you stand on this?
