So that you don't have to wander through June saying "wait, that was today?" every time your group chat starts dropping hot new trailers, I've got the full schedule of what to watch and when down below.

Okay so who's going to show GTA 6?
GTA 6 is launching this year so surely it has to show up during the summer showcases with a big gameplay reveal, right? You'd sure think so. But last year Rockstar posted the second trailer for GTA 6 in early May, preempting the showcase season entirely. It hasn't done that this year (so far) but I've got the feeling that big ol' R* may consider it beneath itself to show up to someone else's showcase, SGF and Xbox included. I'm betting that Rockstar goes for a quick turnaround type deal, announcing a big GTA 6 gameplay reveal show within a week of it happening.
