A new theory spreading among fans suggests that Trailer 3 for GTA 6 could release on April 4, and the idea is based on several unusual observations linked to Rockstar Games activity.

The Clues Fans Noticed

Supporters of the theory point to three details that appeared almost simultaneously.

  1. Unusual posting activity
    Rockstar published four posts in a single day, which is uncommon for the studio. Normally they release one or two posts at most, and sometimes skip days entirely.
  2. A strange code in the posts
    Each post reportedly included the unusual signature “rsg. MS/40ed404”. Fans noticed that the code contains the number 4, which some interpret as a hint toward April or a specific date like April 4.
  3. The marketing timeline theory
    Another piece of speculation relates to the expected marketing rollout. Many believe Rockstar plans to start a large summer advertising campaign for GTA 6.

If that’s the case, the studio would likely need to release major promotional material before the campaign begins. A new trailer and fresh screenshots would provide the perfect assets for marketing partners, billboards, and promotional videos.

Why April Fits the Theory

Because of this, some fans think April — the fourth month of the year — would be an ideal time for Rockstar to drop Trailer 3 before the summer marketing push begins.

Of course, none of this has been confirmed officially. But the combination of unusual posts, mysterious codes, and the expected marketing timeline has convinced many players that something could be coming very soon.
