Dedicated GTA 6 Fan Analyzes Café Foot Traffic Near Rockstar to Anticipate Trailer Release
The latest trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6 hit the web over a year ago, and since then, fans have been eagerly anticipating more details and a fresh look at the highly awaited open-world game. Many were convinced that the third trailer would drop on May 12. In a bid to support this theory, one dedicated fan decided to check the foot traffic at a nearby tea café using Google, hoping to find a clue that the trailer’s release was imminent.
For various reasons, a significant number of overly enthusiastic GTA fans have convinced themselves that this week is the moment Rockstar will unveil the third trailer for GTA 6. And who knows, it might just happen. The longer the wait stretches on without new footage, the more frantic some fans become. We’ve seen them tracking moon phases, calculating the SPF of sunscreen an NPC used in a previous trailer, and even flying to Rockstar’s office to pester developers with questions about the game. Now, perhaps inspired by the Pentagon Pizza Theory, a fan is monitoring café traffic just a block away from Rockstar North’s studio and sharing their findings online.
On May 12, a Reddit user posted a screenshot from Google Maps on the GTA 6 subreddit, showing that a café near the studio was experiencing unusually high traffic. “Could this be it?” they asked, speculating that this could be the day the third trailer goes live. The theory suggests that the GTA 6 developers might be taking a break for tea to celebrate before the trailer drops.
“At first, I thought about checking pizza places nearby,” the Reddit user explained. “But then I realized Rockstar North is in Scotland (close enough to England), which means they likely prefer tea over pizza. So, it makes sense that there would be more activity around tea spots, and sure enough, I was right.” They concluded their post with a simple, “Thoughts?”
The response to the post, which has garnered over 1.5k upvotes as of Tuesday, has mostly been a mix of amusement and disbelief, with many commenting on how desperate fans seem. One user even drew a parallel to the Pentagon Pizza Theory, which suggests that monitoring pizza orders near significant government buildings can predict major news events. Like that theory, it seems fans are searching for patterns to validate their hopes. If GTA 6’s next trailer does indeed drop today, it’s likely that fans will be keeping a close eye on all the eateries near Rockstar North until the game launches in November.
As for when to expect the next trailer, Take-Two Interactive’s earnings call is scheduled for May 21. Historically, news and trailers for Rockstar games have been released in the days leading up to these calls. So, it might not be long before fans have a new trailer to obsess over while they await the arrival of GTA 6.
