The monitoring campaign began with acoustic equipment set up around Rockstar's offices, specifically near a meeting room, to measure audio levels inside the building. When Then-Pomegranate-625 returned to the setup, the equipment was gone, presumably removed by security or possibly stolen.
Traffic, Oxygen, and Cigarette Monitoring
The Reddit user's next step was to keep a record of vehicular traffic at Rockstar North. That log tracked how many cars arrived at what time, an estimated total value of the vehicles, and any particularly expensive models. The stated aim was to see how many executives may be spending time at headquarters as opposed to regular employees.
The theory behind the traffic watch holds that if more personnel, identified by the fanciest cars are in attendance more often, the elusive third GTA 6 trailer must be on the way soon.
Then-Pomegranate-625 then shifted focus to monitoring oxygen levels.
Update on my acoustics and traffic monitoring. O2 is the move.
Based on data received from the sensor setup, some big dips down to around 20% after 5pm suggested a higher rate of oxygen consumption. In other words, more employees on site, and in this theory, trailer 3 is coming soon.
The next method involved counting cigarette butts outside Rockstar. The theory there is that a higher concentration of cigarettes means employees were more stressed than usual. Then-Pomegranate-625 counted 71 cigarettes over 19 hours, with 11 cars present and an average of 2 out of 10 people being smokers. Again, heightened stress in this line of thinking means trailer 3 is inbound.
Beyond traffic and cigarette data, the Reddit user has also been looking at the shoes of employees entering the building to see whether particularly fancy brands are walking into Rockstar North, similar to the effort to note extravagant vehicles.
GTA 6 Fan Obsession and Related Incidents
GTA 6 is driving some fans to extraordinary lengths, with people hoping only to learn when the next trailer drops rather than getting any direct glimpse of the game. Laid out in full, the acoustic logs, oxygen dips, car valuations, cigarette counts, and shoe checks can read as wildly unhinged behavior, with no clear guarantee that any of the data points would actually reveal Rockstar's trailer plans.
The Rockstar North stakeout sits alongside other extreme fan activity that has circulated around GTA 6 in recent coverage. That includes fans getting into a frenzy over the wrong day for GTA 6 Trailer 3 and the trailer being a no show, fans reportedly attempting to use drones and fake IDs to get a glimpse at Rockstar's game, AI-generated GTA 6 gameplay leaks that a creator owned up to after backlash, and a GTA 6 fan who flew to Scotland to harass Rockstar staff.
Social posts tied to the Then-Pomegranate-625 effort trace back through reddit.com and x.com. The monitoring push remains focused on one question above all others: when trailer 3 might finally land.
