April 17, 2025 marks a significant milestone for Grand Theft Auto fans - exactly 500 days since Rockstar Games unveiled the first trailer for GTA 6. The gaming community remains hungry for more information about this highly anticipated title, but the developer has maintained an unprecedented level of secrecy surrounding the project.

While the wait continues for GTA 6, its predecessor Grand Theft Auto V demonstrates remarkable longevity. Originally launched in 2013 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, GTA V continues to dominate gaming charts thanks to multiple re-releases. Rockstar recently launched an enhanced PC version featuring cutting-edge upgrades like ray tracing, DLSS/FSR support, and dramatically improved loading times.

Grand Theft Auto V's enduring popularity is undeniable, but many fans are eager to move on to the next chapter. The complete lack of follow-up information since that initial December 2023 trailer has become increasingly frustrating for the community. No screenshots, developer interviews, gameplay teases - just radio silence from Rockstar Games.

Industry analysts suggest we may need to wait several more months before GTA 6's marketing campaign begins in earnest. Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick recently described the anticipation for GTA 6 as "unprecedented in entertainment history." The company's strategy appears to be maintaining this hype by withholding information until much closer to the Fall 2025 release window.

With Rockstar's parent company consistently reaffirming the Fall 2025 timeframe, players could theoretically have GTA 6 in their hands within 5-8 months. While no specific date has been announced, some fans believe they've narrowed down the release window by analyzing the schedule of another Take-Two property, Borderlands 4.
