GTA 6 Hits Major Milestone
The long journey toward Grand Theft Auto VI has reached a significant psychological milestone. As of February 11, 2026, fans are now officially halfway between the game’s second trailer and its scheduled November 19 release date. The symmetry is striking: 281 days have passed since that stunning May 2025 reveal, and exactly 281 days remain until players can finally step foot in Vice City.
This moment matters. After years of waiting, two delays, and an unprecedented level of anticipation, hitting the halfway point transforms the wait from an abstract countdown into something tangible. It’s the moment where the horizon shifts from distant to visible. The roughly 280 days ahead suddenly feel more manageable when compared to the nearly eight years the game has spent in development and the over two years since that historic first trailer broke the internet.
The milestone arrives at a pivotal time. Take-Two Interactive has officially confirmed that the full marketing campaign for GTA VI will commence this summer, placing the next major information drop—almost certainly Trailer 3 and our first true look at gameplay—within the next three to four months. The silence that has stretched for 281 days is about to break.
Today marks the midpoint between Trailer 2 and the GTA 6 release date.

This upcoming marketing push will answer many lingering questions. Chief among them is pricing. Industry speculation has swirled around the possibility of GTA VI becoming the first $100 video game, given its enormous budget and production scale. However, insiders have suggested such fears may be overblown, indicating a standard premium pricing model is more likely. Until Rockstar speaks officially, it remains speculation.

What is certain is that the endgame has begun. The game is on track, physical copies are confirmed for day one, and the marketing engine is warming up. For the millions waiting, February 11 isn’t just a date on the calendar; it’s the moment when the long road behind them became shorter than the road ahead.
