Rockstar Games has quietly confirmed GTA 6 is on track for its May 26, 2026 release—and a new job listing suggests the marketing machine is kicking into high gear. The studio is hiring “Marketing Localisation QA Testers,” a role dedicated to adapting trailers, ads, and assets for global audiences. For fans, this signals one thing: Trailer 3 is likely in production.
Why This Job Listing Matters
The timing reveals critical details:
- Release Date Confidence: Rockstar wouldn’t invest in localization without a locked launch window.
- Global Campaign Scale: The role confirms unprecedented worldwide promotion—bigger than GTA 5’s.
- Trailer Hints: Localization testing typically starts 6-9 months pre-launch, aligning with a late 2025 trailer drop.
As Twitter user @OyaPlayOfficial noted: “Global campaign means global chaos incoming… Rockstar’s cooking something massive.”
Fan Reactions: GTA 6 Trailer 3 Relief and Hype
After years of delays and rumors, the community is buzzing:
“Can’t believe we made it this far!” – @daxter27_
“Finally proof May 2026 isn’t a placeholder date.” – Reddit user
“Trailer 3 better show online gameplay—I need to plan my criminal empire!”
Many now expect a GTA 6 Trailer 3 before 2025 ends, possibly revealing:
- Online mode details
- Pre-order bonuses
- Special edition content
The Bigger Picture
This hiring spree mirrors Red Dead 2’s 2018 pre-launch pattern, when localization testers joined 8 months pre-release. With GTA 6’s scale dwarfing previous titles, Rockstar’s campaign could include:
- Interactive ARGs (like Chiliad Mystery 2.0)
- Real-world events (Vice City pop-ups, QR code hunts)
- Celebrity collaborations (music artists, influencers)

As one fan perfectly summed up: “See you in 2039 for GTA 7 news.”
