GTA 6 Trailer 1 (4 December 2023)
The first trailer revealed Lucia, Vice City and the state of Leonida after years of silence. It is 90 seconds long and set to Tom Petty’s “Love Is A Long Road”.
It came out earlier than planned. Rockstar had scheduled it for 9 a.m. ET on 5 December, but the trailer leaked online and Rockstar posted it on the evening of 4 December instead, about 15 hours early.
GTA 6 Trailer 2 (6 May 2025)
Trailer 2 arrived in May 2025, the same month as the first delay, and put Jason and Lucia side by side. Rockstar’s description sets up the story: Jason and Lucia end up “on the darkest side of the sunniest place in America” after an easy score goes wrong.
“This trailer was captured entirely in-game from a PlayStation 5, comprised of equal parts gameplay and cutscenes.” (Rockstar Games, YouTube description)
It runs 2:47 and uses “Hot Together” by The Pointer Sisters. Our GTA 6 characters guide covers everyone Rockstar has named.
GTA 6: An Extended Look (27 August 2026)
An Extended Look is the longest official video by far, at 26 minutes and 48 seconds. Rockstar describes it as “captured entirely from in-game footage on PlayStation 5”.
It had an unusual release. Rockstar announced on 6 August that it would premiere on Netflix on Thursday 27 August at 3 p.m. ET, then go up on YouTube and the GTA 6 site at 9 p.m. ET the same evening.
| Platform | Time (27 August 2026) |
|---|---|
| Netflix premiere | 3 p.m. ET |
| Rockstar YouTube and rockstargames.com/VI | 9 p.m. ET |
Rockstar’s own description does not list what is in the video. It calls it a showcase of “the biggest, most immersive evolution of the series yet”.
Is An Extended Look GTA 6 Trailer 3?
Not officially. Rockstar only calls it “An Extended Look”, and the next video is called the Launch Trailer. Many fans still call it Trailer 3, so you will see both names.
GTA 6 Launch Trailer (15 October 2026)
The Launch Trailer is the final trailer before release. It is 90 seconds long, was captured in-game on PS5 and went live at 9 a.m. ET on 15 October.
The music is new. The trailer debuted “Flower in a Hurricane” by Justice, featuring Tame Impala, SZA and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard. Justice also composed the game’s original score, and the song is on Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album. See our GTA 6 Festival article for Justice’s launch show in Miami.
