Rockstar Games will not be showing a third trailer for “GTA 6” at today’s State of Play, even though fans and players are already eagerly grasping at straws – and Rockstar Games will continue to leave them in the lurch.
The previous assumptions were based solely on unconfirmed forum leaks, schedules, or insider speculation. According to the announcement, Sony has reserved the 60-minute show for its first-party and other third-party projects.
Marvel's Wolverine in focus, silence from Rockstar Games
Insomniac Games will be presenting "Marvel's Wolverine" tonight starting at 23:00 PM. State of Play In the spotlight. The title is scheduled for release on September 15, 2026, which is why Sony has to open the marketing pipeline for this specific exclusive game. A simultaneous release of "GTA 6" would completely stifle any coverage of "Marvel's Wolverine." From a publisher's perspective, that makes no sense. Therefore, a decidedly pragmatic, down-to-earth attitude has long prevailed in the forums. The motto for tonight is clear:
“Keep your expectations at rock bottom”

It's the best way to avoid disappointment. Rockstar Games traditionally uses its own distribution channels for its main titles. Neither the first two trailers for "GTA 6" nor earlier announcements for "Red Dead Redemption 2" were tied to events hosted by platform holders like Sony or Microsoft. Take-Two controls the reach independently.
Exclusive marketing deals do not include event presence.
Speculation about an advertising partnership between Sony and Take-Two for the PS5 Pro is strategically plausible and was recently mentioned as a potential "little extra" for the show. impliedThese collaborations, however, only come into effect at the game's launch or as part of hardware bundles. A full-fledged trailer on a digital Sony interface contradicts the previous patterns of the participating companies.
A complete absence of Rockstar content is likely. At best, a brief logo display at the end of the show will formally confirm the PS5 partnership. No further visuals or PR material are to be expected.
GTA fans and gamers should focus their expectations for tonight strictly on the confirmed PS5 releases like "Marvel's Wolverine." Anyone waiting for concrete updates on "GTA 6" is looking in the wrong place at external Sony events. Rockstar Games usually sets the pace themselves.
