What you need to know first
Five things to know about GTA 6 trailer before anything else:
- Trailer 1: December 5, 2023 - over 90 million YouTube views in 24 hours
- Vice City in GTA 6 is modern-day, not the 1986 setting of the original - a common mix-up in rumor articles.
- Trailer 2: May 6, 2025, released alongside the official site with characters and...
- Protagonists: Lucia Caminas and Jason Duval - the first dual-protagonist GTA with a...
- Avoid: treating 2022 leak footage as representative of the finished game.
GTA 6 trailer: the basics
The September 2022 breach put around 90 clips of unfinished GTA 6 online. Rockstar confirmed the leak was real but also said the footage did not represent the final game, which is the right frame for GTA 6 trailer.
Every delay moved millions of pre-order budgets, console upgrades and PC builds - knowing what is confirmed stops you spending money on a rumor.
Two official trailers exist: Trailer 1 (December 5, 2023) and Trailer 2 (May 6, 2025). Everything else around GTA 6 trailer - the 2022 leak, the 'Trailer 3' chatter - is either stolen development footage or speculation.
Take-Two has called GTA 6 the most anticipated entertainment launch in history, and the two delays show Rockstar will move the date rather than ship early.
GTA 6 trailer: the numbers
These are the figures we check against after each update:
| Item | What we know | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Trailer 2 | May 6, 2025, released alongside the official site with characters and locations | Rockstar |
| Protagonists | Lucia Caminas and Jason Duval - the first dual-protagonist GTA with a playable woman | Trailer 2, official site |
| Trailer 1 | December 5, 2023 - over 90 million YouTube views in 24 hours | Rockstar / YouTube |
| Setting | State of Leonida, including a modern-day Vice City | Trailer 1 and 2, official site |
| PC version | Not announced at launch; Rockstar historically ships PC later (GTA V came to PC 18 months after consoles) | Rockstar history |
| Price | Not announced. The 70, 80 and 100 dollar figures are analyst speculation, not Rockstar statements | Take-Two earnings calls |
| Launch platforms | PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S | Rockstar |
Only statements from Rockstar or Take-Two appear here.
The rows worth memorising are Setting and PC version - the rest of the table is reference material.

Before you believe a GTA 6 trailer rumour
Follow these before believing anything new about GTA 6 trailer:
Before you start: a PS5 or Xbox Series X|S - the only confirmed launch platforms; free storage well above the 100 GB mark.
- Watch both official trailers on Rockstar's YouTube channel at 4K, not re-uploads with added commentary.
- Cross-check every detail against the official GTA 6 site, which lists characters, locations and screenshots from Trailer 2.
- For 'hidden details', check that the frame actually exists - several viral claims about GTA 6 trailer were from fan edits.
- Date-stamp everything: Rockstar's statements in November 2025 (the delay to November 19, 2026) supersede older interviews.
Do the first two steps and most GTA 6 trailer rumours fall apart on their own.
Pick your level of interest
Pick the stance that suits you; each one is honest about what is known:
Trailer analysis with receipts
Enjoy frame-by-frame breakdowns, but only keep claims that cite a timestamp and the trailer number.
Official-only tracking
Rockstar Newswire, Rockstar's social accounts and the official site. Slow, but every item is real.
Claims that do not hold up
Where coverage of GTA 6 trailer usually goes wrong:
- ✗Paying for 'early access' keys, pre-loads or beta invites - none exist and all are scams
- ✗Buying a PC upgrade for a PC version that has not been announced
- ✗Quoting map-size numbers from fan projects as if Rockstar published them
- ✗Assuming cross-play, because GTA Online has never offered it
- ✗Quoting 'insiders' who were wrong about the Fall 2025 and May 2026 dates
The 2022 leak gave the community a rough map of development, but the final game has changed since then, so leak-based claims need a date stamp.
Details worth knowing about GTA 6 trailer
Notes for anyone following GTA 6 trailer closely:
- Trailer 1 passed 90 million YouTube views in 24 hours; its most-analysed shots - the beach, the Vice City skyline, the social-media clips - were all confirmed by Trailer 2.
- Trailer 2 ran under three minutes and introduced Jason Duval alongside Lucia Caminas, plus supporting characters like Cal Hampton and Boobie Ike.
- The Rockstar Newswire has an RSS feed; subscribing to it beats any leak account for GTA 6 trailer.
- The official GTA VI site lists every confirmed character and location - use it as your reference instead of a wiki.
- Rockstar trailers usually drop around 9 AM Eastern; the official site updated within minutes of Trailer 2.

GTA 6 trailer after November 2026
Between now and November 19, 2026, expect at least one more trailer, a pre-order announcement with editions, and a Take-Two call confirming the date. Anything beyond that is projection.
After launch, GTA Online will keep its weekly updates for a while - Rockstar has said GTA Online remains a priority - so the two games will run side by side.

Claims we tested
Popular belief versus what the game actually does:
| Claim | Reality |
|---|---|
| The 2022 leak is what the game looks like | Rockstar said the footage was early development work; Trailer 2's visuals are a different generation of the build. |
| GTA 6 costs 100 dollars | Not announced. Analysts floated the number in 2024; Take-Two has only said it will price to deliver value. |
| GTA 6 will run on PS4 and Xbox One | Only PS5 and Xbox Series X|S are confirmed. Rockstar has not mentioned last-gen consoles or Switch 2. |

Our verdict on GTA 6 trailer
Nothing about GTA 6 trailer is settled until Rockstar says so; what is settled is on this page with a source next to it.
- ✓Rockstar's statement on the 2022 leak said the breach would not affect development or the long-term plan; the two delays since were attributed to polish, not the leak.
- ✓Frame-by-frame breakdowns are fun, but background NPCs and signage change between trailers; do not treat them as final content.
- ✓GTA V's PC port arrived 18 months after consoles and RDR2's took 13 months - the best available guide to a GTA 6 PC window.
