- Audiences feel GTA 6 marketing hasn’t been the best so far.
- Fans have called out Rockstar Games for failing to deliver a new trailer in over a year.
- Many have also stated that Red Dead Redemption 2’s marketing efforts were much more interesting a few months before its release.
GTA 6’s marketing kicked off with a bang last month, revealing plenty of new screenshots and details about the title. Among other things, Rockstar Games was quick to confirm that the game would play best on PlayStation.
The team also teased a potential chapter system for the story, giving fans plenty to analyze and discuss. However, almost a full month later, the team has yet to pick up the pace again, leaving fans somewhat disappointed with the marketing efforts so far.
Why it matters: Games typically go all out for their marketing as the launch draws nearer. Rockstar Games has yet to pull the trigger on its biggest marketing plans, so gamers are now growing anxious with the wait.
Social media platforms like Twitter have seen a recent influx of posts from fans expressing concerns about Rockstar Games’ marketing plans for GTA 6. Many have pointed out that the team’s silence appears quite strange, especially with GTA 6 coming in less than four months.
GTA 6 drops in 116 days, and the last trailer was 14 months ago.

Even Rockstar Games enthusiasts have noted that the team appears to be unusually quiet for now. Fans like Ben have also compared the current scenario to the lead-up to Red Dead Redemption 2’s release.
He notes that Red Dead Redemption 2 had already received plenty of exciting press coverage and teasers at this point in the marketing cycle. Elsewhere, others like Synth Potato state that three months of marketing is not enough for a massive release like GTA 6.
It’s 100% poor marketing so far, like no other way to say it.

The interesting part is that an insider has predicted that Rockstar Games will release the third GTA 6 trailer at some point next month.
This could be the beginning of a massive wave of previews, global marketing campaigns, and various other efforts from Rockstar Games. Whatever the case, GTA 6 is still expected to break all sorts of records and completely change the games industry as we know it.
What do you think about the game’s marketing so far? Let’s discuss in the comments and on the Tech4Gamers Forums.
