GTA VI Guide
Trailers
Every official Grand Theft Auto VI video, newest first — the two trailers and An Extended Look, the in-game footage Rockstar released in August 2026. Each one broke records and took us deeper into Vice City, Leonida and the game’s two protagonists.
Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look
Released August 2026
Rockstar’s longest look at the game so far, captured entirely from in-game footage on PlayStation 5. It premiered on Netflix before going up free on YouTube the same evening, and it is the first official footage to follow two trailers that showed no gameplay at all.
Rockstar has age-restricted this video, so YouTube will only play it on its own site — the still above links straight to it.
Grand Theft Auto VI — Trailer 2
Released May 2025 · Music: Multiple licensed tracks
A deeper look at Lucia and Jason, the people of Leonida and the scope of Vice City and its surrounding regions.
Grand Theft Auto VI — Trailer 1
Released December 2023 · Music: “Love Is a Long Road” by Tom Petty
The first official look at GTA VI, our introduction to Vice City, Lucia and the state of Leonida.
What the official footage tells us
For most of the campaign the official footage came down to two trailers — the December 2023 reveal and the longer follow-up in May 2025 — which is why both are worth watching closely rather than once. The first ended years of speculation by confirming the return to Vice City, introducing Lucia and setting its montage of sun, crime and excess to Tom Petty’s “Love Is a Long Road.” It leaned hard into a social-media, livestream-saturated version of Leonida, signalling that GTA VI would hold a mirror to the present day.
The second trailer was a different kind of video: longer, calmer and more character-driven. It fleshed out Lucia, formally introduced her partner Jason, and widened the lens across Leonida — from Vice City’s beaches and nightlife to the swamps, keys and small towns that ring it. Crucially, it arrived alongside a release date, turning an abstract “someday” into a moment fans could mark on a calendar.
Just as telling is what those two deliberately withheld: no gameplay, no heads-up display, no mission structure and no world map. That restraint is a Rockstar signature — reveal character and world long before systems. An Extended Look, captured entirely from in-game footage on PlayStation 5, is the first official break from the pattern, though Rockstar still controls exactly how much of the game it shows.
