Trailer 1 (December 2023)
Rockstar's first trailer was released in early December 2023, a few hours ahead of schedule after it leaked. It opened with Lucia in a prison interview, then showed Vice City's beaches, nightlife and social-media chaos, and ended with the 2025 window that was later pushed back. It broke YouTube's record for most views in 24 hours for a non-music video.
Trailer 2 (May 2025)
Released days after the first delay was announced, Trailer 2 focused on Jason and Lucia's relationship and the wider state of Leonida. Rockstar launched character and location pages on its site at the same time. Rockstar said it reached 475 million views across platforms in its first 24 hours.
The Extended Look (August 27, 2026)
Rather than a third trailer, Rockstar released "An Extended Look", a long gameplay showcase that premiered on Netflix at 3 p.m. ET and went up on YouTube and Rockstar's site at 9 p.m. ET. It showed character switching, cooperative missions, an outfit wheel and activities from scuba diving to street racing. Our Extended Look breakdown covers it in detail.
Is GTA 6 Trailer 3 Coming?
Rockstar hasn't announced one. Some fans expect a launch trailer around preload on November 12, following the pattern of past Rockstar launches, but that's speculation. We'll add it to our GTA 6 news page if it happens.
