Rockstar may have pulled a Fortnite dances on a few people, as Florida Joker expresses his disapproval.

GTA 6 fever is spreading faster than a five-star wanted chase across the streets of Florida.

Here's how GTA 6's Vice City stacks up against the 2002 version, as well as the real-life locations that inspired it.

The GTA6 trailer has officially crash landed, blowing up Youtube and everywhere else on the internet with a blistering sizzle reel of social media madness. Like a swarm of crabs in Florida, we’re about to descend on this beached whale – because we’re taking a quick look at some of the tiny, tiny details in this trailer. Some of these are definitely Easter eggs. Some are observations, tiny secrets, references to previous games or just stuff we’ll find when we’re playing the full game sometime in 2025 on PS5 and Xbox Series X.

We reported earlier in the year that Netflix had big-brain ideas for the oft-overlooked gaming arm of its business, and here’s the bombshell: the streaming subscription will add all three entries from Rockstar’s remastered GTA Trilogy on 14th December. While not strictly PlayStation news in the purest sense, this is a potentially disruptive announcement for sure.

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.

One particular part in the first trailer could be an indicator of one of the upcoming game's major features. The trailer introduced players to the game's main protagonists, Lucia and Jason, and showcased a revamped, modernized version of Vice City and the wider Florida-inspired area of Leonida, with some of its more eccentric citizens on full display through in-game social media videos.

Grand Theft Auto 6’s first trailer gives fans of the open-world crime franchise a peek at the first new GTA in more than a decade. As impressive as GTA 6 looks, it comes with immense expectations. Its predecessor, Grand Theft Auto 5, is one of the biggest games of all time; Rockstar has sold more than 190 million copies of the game across three console generations, and following that massive success won’t be an easy task.

I'm pretty certain my first ever exposure to Tom Petty came via GTA: San Andreas, whose K-DST radio station featured Runnin' Down a Dream on its tracklist of wall-to-wall dad rock bangers. Now Mr Petty's made a return as part of the Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer, which is soundtracked by Love Is a Long Road, and it looks like more than a few other people might have had their first encounter with the artist off the back of it, too.

Quite a few people listened to the song «Love Is A Long Road» after the GTA 6 trailer came out.

It's been 10 whole years since the last Grand Theft Auto. And it's been a decade of significant change in the gaming industry. The PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, for example, have been and gone.

There was little doubt that the GTA VI trailer would do well in terms of viewership. Still, the debut video of Rockstar's massively anticipated new game surpassed even the rosiest expectations.

The first trailer of the Grand Theft Auto VI was leaked before the official release from Rockstar Games. As a result, the gaming company had to release the GTA 6 trailer itself earlier than scheduled. However, even after the leak, the Grand Theft Auto VI trailer broke the viewership record on YouTube by gaining over 99 million views and it's still counting. The new season of the game brings various new features along with a new female protagonist Lucia. Know about the Grand Theft Auto VI trailer YouTube views here.

The first trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI has been officially released early after Rockstar reacted to a leak late last night on Twitter. You can watch the full GTA 6 trailer now, with character and story reveals, and the confirmation of a 2025 release window for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.

The recently-released trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6 was officially released following a leak, prompting developer Rockstar Games to release the trailer earlier than it had planned.

In the first day since its release, the reveal trailer for the hotly-anticipated Grand Theft Auto 6 has proven to be quite popular. At the time of publishing the trailer has now been seen more than 96 million times. The trailer, released yesterday, is the first bit of Grand Theft Auto 6 that has been shown off to the world.

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.

Fans around the world exploded with excitement Monday when Rockstar Games released the first trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI , or GTA 6 -- the most hotly anticipated game of the decade. The first look at the next instalment in the blockbuster series follows years of feverish speculation about the setting, characters and atmosphere of GTA VI.

Yesterday, after literally years of speculation, rumors, and leaks, Rockstar finally dropped the first teaser for Grand Theft Auto VI. The trailer has gone over well for the most part, although some were surprised to note that the game will only be launching on Xbox Series X/S and PS5, not PC. Rockstar has made a habit of this over the years, but the industry has changed and outside of console exclusives either developed or paid for by Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft, it’s extremely rare these days for a big AAA game to be released exclusively on console without a PC version. May as well grab those extra bucks from PC players at launch, right? So, why are Rockstar and Take Two Interactive sticking with the console-first approach when almost everyone else has abandoned it?

GTA 6, just like every other game in the series, will be a satirical take on the United States. Rockstar's sights are set firmly on Florida this time around, with the developer recently having confirmed the game will take place in Vice City, the GTA equivalent of Miami. To get the tone and absurdity of Florida as accurate as possible, it seems as though Rockstar looked to real-life events that took place in the state as inspiration for the game's first trailer.

While most folks are desperate to know when Rockstar Games will release Grand Theft Auto 6 after teasing a 2025 window in the highly anticipated game’s first trailer, I’ve spent all day trying to answer a much different question: When the heck does GTA 6 actually take place?

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.

Grand Theft Auto 6's highly-anticipated trailer arrived in spectacular style last night, revealing that the game will take place in Vice City and is dropping at some point in 2025. It's gone down well for the most part, except for certain groups mad about the existence of Black people, though there is one particular person in the trailer causing a bit of a ruckus among GTA fans.

Rockstar Games revealed the first trailer for , which already seems to be on its way to beating the record held by its predecessor,. The trailer confirmed the game's Bonnie and Clyde-esque duo, Lucia and Jason, and provided a look at the game's Florida-inspired location, Leonida, which includes a modernized version of the fan-favorite location, Vice City.

This week on the Eurogamer Newscast, we discuss the first ever trailer for GTA 6 which was finally released following a tease from Rockstar, after the trailer leaked online ahead of schedule.

Rockstar has released the first official trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6 early, and in 12 hours it's already smashed through 60 million views (and counting). Needless to say the 90-second video is jam-packed full of details and hints about what we'll be getting up to in Vice City, and if you want the nuts-and-bolts breakdown we've got you covered. But one element of the trailer really jumped out at me: TikTok framing, and the real-world parallels.

The first trailer for has finally been revealed as part of Rockstar Games' 25th Anniversary celebrations. The trailer introduced players to a revamped, modernized version of Vice City and the wider Florida-inspired area of Leonida, along with the game's main protagonists, Lucia and Jason.

Doom scrolling social media looks to have replaced the age-old pasttime of watching TV in GTA 6, which has prompted feelings of alternating despair and increasing irrelevance in me this morning. I barely understand how TikTok works in real-life, let alone a video game pastiche of it, and oh god, how did I get so old and craggy? I'm just here for the nice-looking flamingos, Rockstar, not a 24/7 twerk stream I can access from the palm of my hand. Of course, TV watching may yet have been preserved beyond what we've seen so far in the first trailer for GTA 6, but even if it's been consigned to the bin of modern history, there might yet be one light in the TikTok-esque darkness to make GTA 6's in-game social media network worthwhile.

Just a day away from getting our first look at Grand Theft Auto 6, a leak has surfaced that claims to show footage from the upcoming game. As per GTABase.com on Twitter, TikTok account ‘azzarossi' posted a video showing a quick panoramic view and scale of the alleged location GTA 6 is based in — a fictionalised version of Miami aka Vice City. The video also shows a Pißwasser billboard, an in-game beer brand that's been ever-present in GTA games. While the account has since gone private, there is no way to verify whether the footage is real. The important landmarks, however, match with the massive data leak from last year, which exposed over 90 in-development clips into the wild.
