Games giant Rockstar has shown the world its first official glimpse at Grand Theft Auto 6.
The Take-Two-owned behemoth uploaded its first trailer for the upcoming crime romp slightly earlier than it originally intended. The promo was initially set to be published today (Tuesday, December 5th) but was uploaded earlier following someone leaking the trailer on social media.
Grand Theft Auto 6 is set in Vice City, as anticipated. It's set to come to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S in 2025. There's no PC release date set just yet, though we'd be shocked if this didn't come to desktop within a year or two of its initially launch.
“Grand Theft Auto VI continues our efforts to push the limits of what’s possible in highly immersive, story-driven open-world experiences,” Rockstar founder Sam Houser said.
“We’re thrilled to be able to share this new vision with players everywhere.”

Grand Theft Auto 6 has become the most-viewed new game trailer on YouTube.
Gaming audiences have been burned plenty of times by games that look stunning in their pre-launch trailers, but end up delivering noticeably (and, at times, severely) downgraded visuals when they actually release, which means there’s always an air of skepticism around graphically impressive trailers for upcoming games. Grand Theft Auto 6 received one such stunning trailer upon its announcement last week, and though there are some who have wondered whether the game will actually look this good, a former Rockstar developer is certain that it will.
Here’s a bit of an understatement- there’s a fair bit of excitement surrounding Grand Theft Auto 6. The long-awaited open world behemoth was officially unveiled by Rockstar earlier this week (a day ahead of time, owing to unfortunate leaks), and within the first day, the reveal trailer had surpassed 96 million views on Rockstar’s official YouTube channel. And, unsurprisingly, that momentum has continued.
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.
