The briefing
The December 1 teaser named December 5 at 9 AM Eastern for the next Grand Theft Auto trailer. Rockstar also refreshed its social profiles as the campaign began.
The eventual official upload arrived a day earlier after a leak. This record concerns the announced promotional appointment, not the game’s launch. Reading it alongside the December 4 reveal explains why the scheduled premiere and the actual publication date differ.
