GTA 6 Trailers
Both official GTA 6 trailers in one place — Trailer 1 (December 2023) and Trailer 2 (May 2025). Watch the footage, read the breakdowns, and see everything Rockstar has confirmed so far.
Trailer 1 — Every Detail Spotted
Setting
Leonida — a fictional Florida-inspired US state — home to a modern Vice City. Beaches, wetlands and dense urban streets all shown in footage.
Protagonists
Jason and Lucia — the two confirmed playable leads. Lucia is the first female protagonist in the modern GTA era.
Tone & Era
A modern, present-day world saturated with influencer culture, viral video and social media — a sharp evolution of GTA's satirical style.
Environments
Coastal beaches, Everglades-style wetlands, palm-lined highways, neon-lit city streets and dense residential neighbourhoods all visible.
Vehicles
Cars, motorcycles, boats and airboats spotted in the footage — hinting at varied traversal options across Leonida's diverse terrain.
Soundtrack
"Love Is a Long Road" by Tom Petty — warm, Floridian, unhurried. A deliberate tonal choice setting the mood for Leonida.
Satire
Fictional brand parodies and social media aesthetics visible throughout — Rockstar's commentary on 2020s American culture.
Release date
Trailer confirmed: PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, launching November 19, 2026. No PC or previous-gen confirmed.

Vice City
Extended looks at Vice City's streets, interiors, nightlife and waterfront — far more of the map visible than in Trailer 1.
Action & Heists
Chase sequences, shootouts and heist-style scenes shown — confirming the high-octane criminal gameplay GTA is known for.
New Locations
Rural Leonida, coastal highways, swampland and interior venues like clubs and warehouses all featured — a massive map scope.

Expanded vehicle roster visible — cars, motorcycles, speedboats, and more. Varied transport across land and water confirmed.
Tone
More intense and story-driven than Trailer 1's scenic introduction — the second look leans into drama, tension and character.
Trailer FAQ
When was the GTA 6 trailer released?
The first official GTA 6 trailer was released on December 5, 2023 by Rockstar Games — earlier than originally planned after a leak forced Rockstar's hand.
What song is in the GTA 6 trailer?
"Love Is a Long Road" by Tom Petty (1987). The track was chosen deliberately for its warm, sun-soaked Floridian feel — it sets the tone for Leonida perfectly. It's a trailer track and not necessarily on the in-game radio.
Who are the characters in the GTA 6 trailer?
The trailer features Jason and Lucia, the two confirmed playable protagonists. Lucia is shown first, and is the first female lead in the modern GTA era. Their full backstories haven't been revealed yet.
Is the GTA 6 trailer actual gameplay?
The footage is representative of how the game looks and feels, but it's a curated trailer — not raw gameplay. Some shots are cinematic framing you won't control directly. Treat it as a tone and setting showcase rather than a feature list.
What does GTA 6 Trailer 2 show?
Rockstar released GTA 6 Trailer 2 on May 6, 2025. It shows significantly more of Vice City and Leonida, extended scenes with protagonists Jason and Lucia, action sequences and heist-style moments, new interior locations, and — most importantly — confirms the November 19, 2026 release date for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Watch it above or jump directly to Trailer 2.
What does GTA 6 look like compared to GTA 5?
The jump is significant. GTA 6 is built for current-gen hardware (PS5 / Xbox Series X|S) with far more memory and faster SSDs than GTA 5's original 2013 target. The world density, lighting and character detail visible in the trailer reflect that generational leap. Read our full GTA 6 vs GTA 5 comparison.
