The Grand Theft Auto VI community has officially entered its strangest phase yet. After counting trees, analyzing planetary alignments, and spotting floating traffic lights, one fan has now turned to oxygen monitoring. Yes, you read that correctly.
The Unhinged Theory
A Reddit user named Then-Pomegranate-625 has built a homemade sensor rig using “leftover electronics and household materials” to measure oxygen levels outside Rockstar Games’ office. The device also tracks temperature and humidity, sampling data every 30 seconds. The theory? When more people are working late (crunching on the third trailer, presumably), oxygen levels drop due to increased respiration. A dip from 20.3% to 20.4% on June 5 was cited as evidence.
The user also claims to have walked around the exterior of the building, counting cigarette buds and observing after-hours activity. Their conclusion: a trailer will drop the week of June 8.
The Internet Reacts
Predictably, the post was met with a mix of mockery and awe. One commenter joked, “Just place a bug in the office at this point.” Another shared an unhinged Squidward image to capture the mood. Even the original poster admitted their traffic‑monitoring attempt was “a step too far,” but somehow oxygen sensing is where they’ve landed.
While most fans are treating this as a hilarious case of “schizoposting,” a few have noted that if the prediction somehow proves accurate, it would be the “craziest prediction of all time.”
Is There Any Method to the Madness?
Rockstar has been uncharacteristically silent, with marketing officially set to begin this summer (June‑August). The third trailer is expected before the end of June, but no firm date has been given. The oxygen sensor theory is almost certainly nonsense – but in a community starved for news, even absurd speculation gains traction.

The Bottom Line
No, oxygen levels are not a reliable indicator of trailer drops. But this episode perfectly captures the desperate state of GTA 6 fandom. With each passing week, the theories get weirder. The only cure is an official trailer. Until then, expect more DIY sensors, moon debates, and tree counts.
Grand Theft Auto VI launches November 19, 2026 on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. A PC version is expected later. Trailer 3 is rumored for June.
