Grand Theft Auto 6 Trailer Showcases New Protagonists and Vice City, Out in 2025

Fans have been waiting for years to see Rockstar Games reveal the next Grand Theft Auto installment. After 2013, fans have been stuck in Los Santos, but that won’t last forever. This month, we got the official reveal of Grand Theft Auto VI. This will bring players back to the fictionalized Miami city, Vice City. But we’re still uncertain how much has changed in Vice City since we last left it in the franchise. For instance, we will get a bigger map to explore than those early Vice City games. 

The trailer is packed with plenty of small details, but there's one thing in particular that helps explain the series as a whole. as a franchise has always been somewhat unlike anything else out there, despite the slew of imitators that it's inspired. With a long history of pushing the boundaries of open-world gameplay and public outcry alike, developer Rockstar Games knows how to spin a series that has no trouble attracting attention at every turn.

returns the crime saga from Rockstar Games to the setting of Vice City and Leonida at large, and it's possible to pick up on a number of returning locations from the franchise's original venture into the setting. The fictionalized version of Miami made its first appearance in the original and took center stage in, while looks like it might also step outside of Vice City's borders to explore more of the pseudo-Florida known as Leonida.

Grand Theft Auto VI was incredibly hyped going into December. We knew this would be the month Rockstar Games would unveil their first trailer for the next Grand Theft Auto game. While we finally have the trailer readily available, plenty of reaction videos and content are emerging online to help indicate what we might see in this installment. However, one YouTube channel, Lavkia, compared Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto VI. While it might not be a direct comparison to the map, it will at least give you some insight into what areas of the map might have been expanded.

The Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer is finally out! After nearly a decade of waiting, Rockstar Games has finally released the GTA 6 trailer albeit in a manner it wouldn't have liked. On November 8, the Take-Two Interactive-owned publisher announced that the GTA 6 trailer would be released in early December. And just a few days ago, Rockstar Games set the GTA 6 trailer release date as December 5, 6:00 AM PT. To the company's dismay, the trailer was leaked online before Rockstar could release it. Now, we have a proper first glimpse into the world of GTA 6 (officially called GTA VI), and it confirms what leaks have suggested before.

GTA 6 trailer 1 dropped on Monday and confirmed that Rockstar is taking us back to Vice City, the fictional Miami-inspired setting of 2002's GTA: Vice City. Naturally, as more than 20 years have passed, the vibrant city has seen quite the glow-up, and so the good folks at the Future Games Show have remade the new trailer using familiar scenes from the OG Vice City, showing exactly how far we've come from the days of polygonal palm trees and cityscapes.

After being leaked ahead of the official release and Rockstar not wanting to be a step behind, we finally got to see the Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer — and it’s raised as many questions as it has answered, such as who is Lucia in GTA 6?

The first trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI is here, finally taking the covers off of Rockstar Games' ambitious open world title. After years of leaks, rumours and speculation, we now finally have concrete official details about GTA 6, its world, characters, and tone. The trailer itself was published hastily ahead of schedule after it was leaked on X on Tuesday. Instead of waiting and putting out the reveal Wednesday at 9am ET (7:30pm IST) — as Rockstar initially planned, the studio released the trailer early Wednesday morning. “Our trailer has leaked so please watch the real thing on YouTube,” the publisher said in its post on X.

GTA 6's trailer is drawing comparisons to similar locations from Vice City.

Following the early release of the first ever Grand Theft Auto VI trailer, new comparisons were shared online, highlighting the amazing recreation of real life locations and the massive visual improvements over previous entries in the series.

GTA 6's reveal trailer was meant to go up today, but it was leaked. So, Rockstar pushed it out early, which is great as now we can see what it looks like without a big crypto ad plastered on top.
