More Grand Theft Auto 6 news may be on the horizon, as a recent update to the Rockstar Games website has sent fans into a frenzy.

As spotted by X/Twitter user @GTAVI_Countdown, the developer’s page was updated to include GTA 6 in its database alongside placeholder spots for four screenshots, cover art, and the release date (via TheGamer). Not much longer after the discovery was made, the website was updated to remove these details, suggesting they made their way online a bit earlier than the developer anticipated.

As the social media user notes, the code with placeholders can still be accessed.

GTA 6 is in active development and grows closer to its release every day, and we know that Rockstar will have something more to say eventually. However, fans believe those screenshots will arrive sooner rather than later.

It’s been five months since the developer officially revealed the first trailer for its latest title, but more importantly, Rockstar parent company Take-Two Interactive will hold an investor call come May 16. It’s possible that the screenshots and potentially more information could be revealed ahead of the meeting next week. Adding to the madness is the fact that Rockstar recently purged most of its Instagram page, a strategy it used before revealing its first GTA 6 trailer. Reddit user Ok_Owl_9137 noticed that the page seems to be keeping only 14 posts live at any time, with many speculating that the number could point to a May 14 reveal.

Rockstar has not announced if new information is on the way. So, while fans have presented some interesting information, it’s best to keep expectations low until the studio has something official to reveal.

Just one GTA 6 screenshot is enough to turn fans into internet detectives, much less four. So, of course, many were quick to spread reactions and memes.

It’s no surprise to see that Rockstar has been pretty quiet since first revealing GTA 6 last December. The series is known for its detailed worlds and smorgasbord of activities, and it’s still not set to come to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X | S (and not PC) until some point in 2025. It could be nice to see some screenshots if an update is indeed on the way, but there’s no telling when or if something more substantial, like a first look at gameplay, will arrive.
