The GTA 6 trailer remade in OG Vice City shows just how far we've come

It's been just over two weeks since the GTA 6 trailer dropped, and the community has now reached the 'hair analysis' part of the hype cycle. 

GTA 6 fans are so desperate for new footage or any crumb of information that they've resorted to using braille on the bullet holes in a car to try and decipher the date of the next trailer.

Alternatively, you can buy them outright on mobile for $20 each.

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.

With the Grand Theft Auto VI trailer out in the world, we got our first glimpse at Leonida and Vice City. Now, many have found loads of similarities to its real-life counterpart: Florida.

The arrival of the GTA 6 trailer means that we've had a pretty good look at the world of Vice City. But for one dedicated community, the trailer was just the next step in a complex GTA 6 mapping project - and now the real work can begin.

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

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.

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.

Ned Luke, best known to many as Michael in GTA 5, was among the fans most excited for the GTA 6 trailer. In a two-hour watchalong and react stream on his personal YouTube, the voice actor shared his thoughts on the long-awaited open-world follow-up, and boy were a lot of those thoughts about butts.

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.
