Rockstar Games Unveils Trailer 2 for Grand Theft Auto VI, Teasing a Bigger, Bolder Vice City Adventure
Anticipation for Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) just hit a new high. Rockstar Games has officially dropped the GTA 6 Trailer 2 for the highly anticipated title, offering fans a deeper look into what could be the most expansive and immersive entry in the iconic video game franchise.
Set in Leonida’s sun-soaked but shadowy state, a fictional stand-in for Florida, GTA VI (GTA 6) reintroduces players to Vice City, a neon-drenched metropolis last seen in 2002’s Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. The trailer brings the narrative into sharper focus, introducing Jason and Lucia, two protagonists caught up in a sprawling criminal conspiracy that forces them to rely on each other for survival.
The two-minute clip, captured entirely on PlayStation 5 hardware, shows off Rockstar’s signature blend of high-octane action, cinematic storytelling, and cutting-edge visuals — and it confirms that the stakes in GTA VI (GTA 6) are higher than ever.
A Vast and Evolving Open World
Rockstar says the upcoming game promises the largest and most immersive open world they’ve ever built. Players will explore Vice City and the surrounding regions of the fictional Leonida state, suggesting a map that spans beaches, swamps, highways, and small-town Americana, all rendered in astonishing detail.
“Jason and Lucia’s story is one of desperation, danger, and loyalty. They’ve always known the deck was stacked against them — but when one heist goes wrong, the real fight begins,” said Rockstar Games.

Coming in 2026 — But You Can Wishlist It Now
The game is officially slated to release on May 26, 2026, and will be available for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles. Rockstar has yet to announce a PC version, continuing a trend of staggered releases across platforms.
Fans can now wishlist GTA VI (GTA 6) on the PlayStation and Microsoft Stores, which signals Rockstar’s readiness to ramp up marketing and pre-order campaigns over the next year.
A Legacy Like No Other
With over 440 million units sold globally across its franchises, Rockstar Games has long dominated the world of interactive entertainment. From the Red Dead Redemption and Max Payne series to cult classics like Bully and L.A. Noire, the studio is known for its storytelling prowess and genre-defining gameplay.
Grand Theft Auto VI builds on that legacy, incorporating advanced physics, seamless exploration, and complex character development. Judging by the trailer’s reception — millions of views within hours — Rockstar seems poised to redefine open-world gaming again.
Behind the scenes, GTA VI (GTA 6) is also a significant move for Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc., Rockstar’s parent company, publicly traded on NASDAQ (TTWO). As the industry watches closely, the game’s performance could have ripple effects across the entertainment and tech sectors.
For now, all eyes are on Vice City. And if GTA 6 Trailer 2 is any indication, Grand Theft Auto VI is set to be more than just a blockbuster — it’s shaping up to be a cultural event.
