December 2023 is shaping up to be a month that fans of Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto franchise won't want to miss.
Fans of Grand Theft Auto can expect the long-awaited GTA 6 trailer to be released in early December, adding anticipation to the game's release.
The upcoming December update for GTA Online will introduce vehicle heists and other new features to keep players engaged while waiting for GTA 6.
Netflix subscribers will have the opportunity to play Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - Ultimate Edition on their mobile devices, although these updated versions have received mixed reviews.
Grand Theft Auto fans have every reason to celebrate December 2023, as this month should be very significant for them. Grand Theft Auto is one of the most popular entertainment brands in the world, and this upcoming December should prove to be the biggest month for the franchise in years.
Developer Rockstar Games has found incredible success with Grand Theft Auto, with most of the main series titles receiving widespread, almost unanimous acclaim. Grand Theft Auto games also regularly break financial records in the gaming industry, and there's no reason to think that will change anytime soon.
Here's why Grand Theft Auto fans have a lot to get excited about in December 2023.
Updated December 1, 2023: Since this article was published, Rockstar Games has confirmed that the trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6 will be released on Tuesday, December 5 at 9 a.m. ET.
The original text is as follows. Needless to say, the main reason getting Grand Theft Auto fans excited about December 2023 is the trailer for GTA 6. Grand Theft Auto fans have been waiting for GTA 6 for more than a decade, and while they may still have a long wait ahead, the good news is that the game's long-awaited first trailer will be released in the near future. Rockstar Games recently confirmed that the first GTA 6 trailer will be released in early December, though at the time of writing, no specific date has been announced.
While Rockstar hasn't announced a specific date for the Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer, reliable insider TEZ2 has hinted that the trailer will be released sometime between December 1 and December 5. Fans should keep their expectations alive, but no matter when the trailer for GTA 6 is released, it's likely to break records. The anticipation for Grand Theft Auto 6 is truly beyond words, and many fans will be excited to see how the game will advance this massive open-world franchise.
The trailer for the first GTA 6 is likely to confirm or deny some of the biggest leaks and rumors about the game. For example, fans will almost certainly find out if Grand Theft Auto 6 is set in Vice City, as has been rumored for years, and if the game will have both male and female protagonists. Leaks about the identity, relationships, and motivations of the Grand Theft Auto 6 protagonists may also be covered by the game's first trailer.
Previous titles from Rockstar Games have all had exciting, eye-opening first trailers, and there's no reason to think Grand Theft Auto 6 would be any different. The mere presence of the GTA 6 trailer is enough to make December 2023 a huge month for fans of the series, but there's more to get fans excited in the coming weeks.
Grand Theft Auto 6 is coming, but that doesn't mean Rockstar is going to abandon its GTA Online cash cow. On the contrary, another Grand Theft Auto Online update is coming, and it should be a big one. With this new update, players of Grand Theft Auto Online will have a new mission type to participate in, called Vehicle Heist, who will steal, dismantle, and sell cars on behalf of Yusuf Amir.
Die-hard fans of Grand Theft Auto will recognize Yusuf Amir from Grand Theft Auto 4's Gay Tony's Tales expansion. Players will need to purchase Red's Auto Parts to start these quests.
Other updates and improvements that come with the December 2023 update include the addition of animals in free mode for players playing on PS5 and Xbox Series X S, The Vinewood Club Garage for GTA+ patrons, a simplified interactive menu, and gifts for players on their birthdays. Overall, this new Grand Theft Auto Online update should keep fans busy while they await the trailer for GTA 6 and the inevitable new experiences that will undoubtedly arrive when the game is released to the masses.
Finally, Grand Theft Auto fans can look forward to Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - Ultimate Edition coming to Netflix on December 14. Netflix subscribers will have the opportunity to play the new releases of Grand Theft Auto 3, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas on their iOS and Android mobile devices at no additional cost.
Now, these "enhanced" versions of Grand Theft Auto 3, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas are not without controversy. While some people liked the new art style, others criticized it. These games also had a lot of bugs when they were released, but some fixes have been made in subsequent updates. Perhaps these games will be more popular on mobile than on consoles, where expectations will be higher. Either way, this is a chance for Netflix subscribers to play some of the best games of all time, even if they are inferior versions compared to the original.
