GTA 6 Fan Tracking Foot Traffic At Cafe Near Rockstar Games

"The last trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6 hit the internet over a year ago. Since then, fans have been waiting for more information and another big look at the upcoming open-world game. Many were convinced that the third trailer would arrive on May 12. And one dedicated fan decided to look at how busy a nearby tea café is via Google to try and prove that maybe, just maybe, the trailer is coming soon."

"For various reasons that aren't really important, a large number of overly online GTA fans have convinced themselves that this was the week that Rockstar would release 's third trailer. And maybe that will happen. I really hope so, because the longer we go without a new GTA 6 trailer, the more wild and out of control some fans get while waiting. We've seen them monitor moon cycles, use math to figure out what SPF sunscreen an NPC in a trailer was using, and even fly to Rockstar's office to harass devs with questions about the upcoming game."

"Now, perhaps inspired by the Pentagon Pizza Theory, a fan is tracking foot traffic at a café a block away from Rockstar North's studio via Google and sharing it online. On May 12, Reddit user ak47rocks1337yt posted on the GTA 6 subreddit a screenshot from Google Maps showing that a cafe near the GTA studio's main office was busier than usual. "Could this be it?" asked the user, in reference to the idea that May 12 could be the day trailer three goes live."

"The idea, I think, is that GTA 6 devs are free to grab tea and celebrate ahead of the trailer's release."

A new GTA 6 trailer has not appeared for over a year, and fans have continued searching for signs of an upcoming release. Many expected a third trailer to arrive on May 12. Some fans have used increasingly elaborate methods to predict the date, including monitoring moon cycles, analyzing details like sunscreen SPF from trailer footage, and even traveling to Rockstar’s office to harass developers. Inspired by similar “theory” approaches, one fan checked Google Maps for foot traffic at a nearby tea cafe near Rockstar North’s main office. A Reddit post shared a screenshot suggesting the cafe was busier than usual, framed as a possible clue that trailer release day could be close.
