The time has finally come... Rockstar Games is releasing the first trailer for GTA VI on Tuesday (December 5) and fans couldn't be more excited.
There has been long speculation as to when the first trailer for the sixth mainline instalment in the juggernaut franchise would be released for years now.
But it appears the trailer release date may have been in front of our eyes this whole time.

After much speculation, Rockstar confirmed last month that a trailer for GTA VI would be coming in December, simultaneously breaking the internet in the process.
In a statement released on X, formerly Twitter, Rockstar's president Sam Houser said: "Next month marks the 25th anniversary of Rockstar Games. Thanks to the incredible support of our players worldwide, we have had the opportunity to create games we are truly passionate about.
"Without you, none of this would be possible, and we are so grateful to all of you for sharing this journey with us.
"In 1998, Rockstar Games was founded on the idea that video games could come to be as essential to culture as any other form of entertainment, and we hope that we have created games you love in our efforts to be part of that evolution.
"We are very excited to let you know that in early December, we will release the first trailer for the next Grand Theft Auto. We look forward to many more years of sharing these experiences with all of you."
Last week, Rockstar Games announced that the first trailer for GTA VI would be dropping on Tuesday (December 5) at 9am ET.

The post also seemingly confirmed the game would take place in Vice City, a fictionalized depiction of Miami - much to fans' excitement.
But while a lot of social media users tried to work out exactly when Rockstar would finally drop the first trailer for the new GTA game, it appears hints have been staring us in the face for a long while.
Thanks to the GTA 6 News X account, an in-game t-shirt available in GTA V known as 'ONEDAYWILLREVEALALL' has a particularly interesting number sequence on it.
While the in-game shirt has a bunch of different numbers on the Diamond-like design, there is one that is very relevant now.
'12523' - any guesses as to what that could mean?
Well, that is the GTA VI trailer release date of course, 5 December, 2023.
How did we never realize this?
