Ever since the death of E3, Gamescom has become the biggest gaming press event in the world, and the time for this year's convention is rapidly approaching. Rockstar Games fans will have a reason to tune in to the Future Games Show on August 21, even if the developer isn't expected to make any _Grand Theft Auto_ -related announcements.

Ned Luke and Alex McKenna, the actors behind _Grand Theft Auto 5 **s [Michael De Santa](/gta-5-characters-a-trio-of-crime-a20c) and_Red Dead Redemption 2** s [Sadie Adler](https://www.rdr2.org/wiki/sadie-adler/) respectively, will host the upcoming virtual showcase. The time, date and hosts were confirmed on X (formerly Twitter) recently.

The event will feature over 50 games, including titles from Rockstar's sibling company 2K, starting on August 21 at 1:00 PM PT, 4:00 PM ET, 9:00 PM BST, and 10:00 PM CEST. While it's uncertain if Rockstar will make any announcements, fans are still holding out hope for news on the highly-anticipated_Grand Theft Auto 6_.
Despite the lack of official information, some speculate that Take-Two might [release a screenshot or two](/will-take-twos-august-earnings-call-reveal-more-gta-6-details-6a93) to boost its stock value following recent global market events. However, a [former GTA developer](/former-rockstar-games-developer-explains-silence-behind-gta-6-leaks-1fa8) has provided insight into Rockstar's silence, suggesting the team is still focused on developing GTA 6.

Rockstar has even implemented a [return-to-office mandate](/rockstar-games-employees-return-to-office-for-final-push-on-gta-6-8f96) to accelerate progress. Despite rumors of a potential delay, Take-Two has maintained its [Fall 2025 release window](/its-official-grand-theft-auto-6-slated-for-release-in-fall-2025-4108) for GTA 6. If Rockstar does make an announcement on August 21, it's more likely to be about the PC release of_Red Dead Redemption_, [a year after its debut](/gta-plus-subscribers-strike-gold-with-free-red-dead-redemption-60aa) on PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch.

Gamescom is on between the 21st and 25th of August.
