This just in: the second new trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI has landed

Grand Theft Auto VI has been delayed. We are not sure if this new trailer – only the second since the game was announced back in 2023 – is a consolation, but it’s all we have and this is GTA, so yeah, we’ll take it.

Rockstar’s given us a little bit more info and scenery to chew on this time out, explaining how “Jason and Lucia have always known the deck is stacked against them”. Those are our protagonists – a sort of Bonnie and Clyde setup.

And now we know a little bit more about how they were set up. “When an easy score goes wrong, they find themselves on the darkest side of the sunniest place in America, in the middle of a criminal conspiracy stretching across the state of Leonida – forced to rely on each other more than ever if they want to make it out alive.”

The die-hard, frame-by-frame enthusiasts might dig out some more details, but once the scene has been set with a day in the life of Jason, all manner of narratives and classic GTA beats are teased: picking up Lucia, heists, shootouts, explosions, helicopters, jet skis, bikes, trucks and of course, cars.

One of which is an extremely convincing Ford Ranger pick-up that shows off GTA 6’s mighty impressive graphics engine and how well it can do the smaller details, as well as gorgeous Floridian cityscapes and neon-drenched nightclub scenes.

And in amongst clips of the two dancing, sinking beers and committing felonies are vignettes of Vice City life, and we can now officially confirm it’s a city that parties hard.

GTA 6 is now scheduled for release on 26 May 2026. The stated platforms in this latest trailer are PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, so it appears there won’t be a PC version at launch. That follows Rockstar’s historical pattern to the GTA series, wherein the PC release follows some months (or in the worst cases, years) afterwards.

So, clear your afternoon, turn up The Pointer Sisters and take the freeway straight into downtown VC right here.
