GTA 6 trailers

The second GTA 6 trailer finally landed just 18 months after the first! Following the announcement of a GTA 6 delay, it seems as though Rockstar wanted to keep fans sweet by delivering the trailer they were praying to see in December 2024.

As a result, we now have significantly more information on the game’s likely storyline, characters, and locations.

Sadly, we likely won’t see a third trailer until December 2025 at the earliest, a few months prior to the updated GTA 6 release date.

GTA 6 trailer 2

The GTA 6 trailer 2 arrived on May 6, 2025, showcasing much more about the game’s story, and giving Jason more than one line of dialog.

We predicted that Rockstar would release the second trailer in short order following the announcement of the GTA 6 delay, and it turns out that guess was right on the mark. Just one week after the decision came to push the game back to 2026, Rockstar released nearly three minutes of astonishing footage with the best graphics a Grand Theft Auto experience has ever seen.

With all the hype that has surrounded the second trailer, make sure to check it out below.

The second trailer gives us a lot more story detail than the first, showcasing Lucia and Jason‘s relationship strongly, and giving us the impression that Lucia and Jason lead a relatively reserved life at the start of the game, with both having past criminal records – with Lucia working some of hers off via community service – before they begin a true life of crime.

However, with the arrival of a second trailer came a new question: when will we see the first GTA 6 pre orders? If we’re really lucky, we might see the game listed before December 2025.

Official GTA 6 trailer

In a stunning revisit to Vice City, the first trailer demonstrated a massive improvement in graphics over its predecessor, hinted at the game’s overall storyline, and showcased a number of bizarre sights based on real-life events. Also confirmed in the trailer was the inclusion of the very first female protagonist in a Rockstar Games development, Lucia.

You can check out the full GTA 6 trailer below, which contains a considerable number of references to Florida, the inspiration for the fictional state of Leonida.

The trailer has become the second-most watched videogame trailer of all time, surpassing even the trailer for Minecraft. The trailer gave many hints towards a possible GTA 6 story, especially with the GTA 6 music track that played throughout it: “Love Is A Long Road” by Tom Petty.

GTA 6 trailer breakdown

As crazy as numerous scenes within the trailer may seem, it turns out that many of them reportedly happened in real life. The car roof twerking, the alligator terrorizing the streets, and even the semi-naked man watering his garden are all documented incidents in the state of Florida. Fortunately, Rockstar Games chose to tone some of these down for their trailer, as the gardener’s real-world counterpart was in fact nude.

Setting aside the bizarre locals that may well populate the game’s world, the trailer gave us a glimpse into the main character’s story and life.

Lucia, the first female protagonist in a Rockstar Game, is shown to be incarcerated, likely at the start of the game following a botched robbery (if the GTA 6 leaks and second trailer are to be believed). It appears to be that, following a probation hearing, Lucia is released back into Vice City with an electronic tag on her ankle, as has been seen in the official GTA 6 poster.

We believe that the ankle tag will essentially gatekeep story progression and exploration of the GTA 6 map in the opening sections of the game. The map in question appears to be one of the largest maps Rockstar Games has ever created, with footage of Vice City, and the Florida Keys-inspired islands showing a wide breadth of biomes and potential GTA 6 locations to explore. Additional, unconfirmed leaks further imply that the map size will be huge, with a complete map having allegedly leaked.

For Xbox and PlayStation fans, the trailer stated that we could expect the GTA 6 release date to fall somewhere in 2025. Unfortunately, this was overturned on May 2, 2025 when Rockstar announced a delay to 2026 for the game’s release. For PC players, the issue of a GTA 6 PC version has yet to be addressed, and it is likely that the game won’t see a full PC release until long after the console release. As a result, there are no official GTA 6 system requirements available at this time, but we’ve created some estimates with the assistance of our sister site, PCGameBenchmark.

GTA 6 live-action trailer

A fanmade live-action recreation of the game’s first trailer did a great job of bringing Rockstar’s trailer to life. A few substitutions had to be made, namely guns for bananas, but it’s a definite must-see for anyone desperately waiting for the next Grand Theft Auto trailer.
