Shortly after circulating on social media, Rockstar Games has officially unveiled the trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI.
The trailer, available for viewing below, further affirms its scheduled release in 2025, with the title currently confirmed as Grand Theft Auto VI. A specific release date has not been disclosed.
The trailer offers a glimpse of the game’s female protagonist, a first for the series named Lucia, who begins her journey in prison – a stroke of “bad luck,” she quips.
Additionally, the trailer confirms the setting in Vice City, as indicated by a prominent sign – a revelation not entirely surprising for avid series followers but still exciting. Amidst quick shots of criminal activities, there are glimpses of TikToks and live-streams, suggesting that social media will play a significant role in the game.
Set against the backdrop of Tom Petty’s “Love Is a Long Road,” the trailer appropriately captures the essence of numerous car-related crimes depicted. True to its Florida-inspired setting, the trailer also showcases alligators in unexpected locations.
Towards the conclusion, the trailer reveals more of Lucia and a male character, seemingly portrayed as lovers and partners-in-crime. Lucia asserts, “The only way we’re gonna get through this is by sticking together and being a team.”
Rockstar initially announced in November that the Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) trailer was scheduled for an “early December” release, creating anticipation within the gaming community. The confirmation came on December 1, with the trailer slated for December 5, although Rockstar expedited the release following an unexpected leak.
Speculation and discussions surrounding GTA 6 had been ongoing since the launch of GTA 5 in 2013, with the latter acclaimed as a “masterpiece” in IGN’s review. The first formal acknowledgment of GTA 6 surfaced in 2020, coinciding with reports of Rockstar’s efforts to enhance working conditions. Official confirmation of GTA 6’s development being “well underway” arrived in 2022.
However, 2022 also witnessed challenges for Rockstar, as development footage of GTA 6 leaked in a substantial data breach. A British teenager was subsequently arrested in connection with the breach. Following a period of relative silence, Take-Two Interactive hinted in May 2023 at substantial financial gains between April 2024 and March 2025, attributing it to the launch of a highly lucrative series.
