Trailer 1: back to Vice City
The video that confirmed years of rumors: the return to Vice City, the series’ version of Miami, and the fictional state of Leonida. It was also our first look at Lucia, the protagonist, who appears in prison at the start.
The edit mimics viral social media clips, with people filming themselves on their phones. It’s a hint at the game’s tone: a satire of internet-era Florida. The song is Tom Petty’s Love Is a Long Road. It’s also packed with jokes: see the trailer easter eggs.
Trailer 2: Jason and Lucia against the world
The second trailer focuses on Jason Duval and his relationship with Lucia. It makes clear this is the story of a couple who back each other up when a job goes wrong. It also shows areas outside the city, like the Keys and the swamps, and introduces several supporting characters.
Rockstar launched it alongside a website with profiles of each character and region. They’re summarized in GTA 6 characters and the map of Leonida.
An Extended Look: gameplay at last
The longest video by far: more than 20 minutes, premiered on Netflix on August 27, 2026 and captured on a base PS5. It showed how the game actually plays: the six-star wanted level, police that remember your clothes, a limited weapon loadout, robberies as a couple, fishing and much more. We break it all down in GTA 6 gameplay: everything the Extended Look showed.
Launch trailer: the story, straight up
Released on October 15. According to Rockstar, Jason and Lucia have always known the deck is stacked against them, and when an easy score goes wrong they end up in a criminal conspiracy that spans all of Leonida. They’ll have to rely on each other to make it out alive.
The music is by Justice, the French duo behind the game’s original score. The trailer premiered their single Flower in a Hurricane, with Tame Impala, SZA and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard. More in the music of GTA 6.
Pre-Load Now: the last one before launch
Rockstar released it on November 10, the day pre-loading began. It’s a short video set to Blood in Your Eyes by Tove Lo, another track from Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album. If you’ve pre-ordered, see how to pre-load and how big it is.
Will there be more videos?
Rockstar hasn’t announced any more before launch. It usually releases gameplay or online-mode videos weeks after release, but nothing is confirmed. If one drops, we’ll add it here.
