GTA 6's hype seems to be not dying among fans, as every day a new speculation or rumour surfaces about the game's release date, the trailer and the game mode. Amidst this, in classic Rockstar Games fashion, fans believe the studio may have just dropped a subtle but deliberate hint pointing to the release date of the much-anticipated GTA 6 Trailer 3.
Recently, a post surfaced on X (formerly called Twitter) that sparked a buzz among fans after eagle-eyed viewers noticed a specific detail in an image featuring Jason, one of the game's rumoured protagonists.
In the now-viral picture, where Jason's digital wristwatch is seen, the time '11:08' is clearly displayed, which is a possible detail of trailer 3, as per fans at first glance. However, nothing has been mentioned yet by Rockstar Games on the same.
The time "11:08" has sparked intense speculation across fan forums and social media platforms, with many interpreting it as a hidden reference to November 8, a date that just so happens to mark the one-year anniversary of the official announcement for the first GTA 6 trailer in 2023.
Well, Rockstar Games is popular for embedding cryptic messages, dates and teases into its marketing materials, from countdown clocks to random licence plates and graffiti with coded messages; hence, fans speculate on every little detail that is up on social media.
As soon as the post surfaced on social media, it quickly went viral and sparked discussions online. While the same thread included another post mentioning, "Additionally, the next earnings call takes place on November 6, so it's more likely that we'll get an announcement either before or after the call."
On which one user commented, "Inaccurate because the earnings call is on the 6th on a Thursday. If Rockstar is going to announce something will most likely be on the 4th because it's a Tuesday and is before the call."
Another said, "This most likely means nothing, just a nod to trailer 1 that's it, they never hint at trailer release dates we've learned that by now."
"Dawg it's a watch. It's got to be on a time. If it was one minute earlier you'd be saying it's pointing to November 7th 😭," one wrote.
