The community seems to know when new information about GTA 6 will be announced. The date in question is said to be provided by the moon.
There are probably few titles that millions of players are as eagerly anticipating as the latest installment of the GTA series. When exactly the game will be released is still unknown. Only the period of autumn 2025 has been announced so far.
A player in the community is now sharing his assumption about when new information about the game will be released. The clue to the date is said to come from the moon.
Compare moon phases, recognize dates
What does the player suspect? Rockstar Games, the developer of GTA, recently published a new post on X. Although this is about information on GTA Online and not about GTA 6, the player suspects that there is a hidden hint using the moon in the picture.
As he shows in his post on Reddit, there was a similar post last year that featured a moon. By comparing this moon with the upcoming phases of the moon in real life, one could read the date December 1, 2023.
On this day, Rockstar Games ultimately released the announcement for the first trailer of GTA 6.
We are embedding the Reddit post here for you:
The player suspects that Rockstar Games is also taking this approach in the current post and wants to hint at when new information about GTA 6 will be available again. If the player is correct with his theory, it could be the case on November 22, 2024.
What does the community say about this? The theory presented by the player in the post is seen by many commentators as likely and realistic. However, there are also voices not completely convinced by the theory as presented. Some of the comments include:
The moon is prominently visible in both pictures. The theory is plausible.
, writes SomeChunkyMilkOkay, I actually believe this, especially since the moon is unusually large in both pictures.
, also says iSvadWait a minute. So I’m supposed to believe that a post from the end of September 2023 points to a trailer release in December, just two months later… and this one will magically appear in the same month? Why shouldn’t it be the same moon phase, just in January?

By the way, the announcement of GTA 6 was already spoiled in advance by a journalist who got his information from a major data leak. This caused so much frustration for Rockstar that they considered delaying their own announcement: The head of Rockstar was so annoyed by insider reports and leaks that he wanted to throw all plans for GTA 6 out the window..
