Start with the original
Watch Rockstar’s official Trailer 1. Our recommendation is to revisit the source video if you want to see how the reveal began, without relying on a repost or a list of guesses about background details.
An archive needs its date
The Take-Two release is dated 4 December; Rockstar’s Newswire entry is dated the following day. These are different publication records. The original 2025 game-date promise is historical and superseded; it should not appear as the current date.
