The official GTA 6 trailer finally dropped on December 5, 2023. Then, on May 2, 2025, Rockstar Games announced the long-awaited release date: GTA 6 is coming in 2026. Curious what we know so far about the game? In this blog, we’ve gathered all the key information for you – from release details to the trailer and more.
On May 6, 2025, Rockstar Games dropped the 2nd trailer for GTA VI. Where the first trailer followed Lucia, in this one we get a closer look at her male counterpart, Jason. We see him going about his day in Vice City, and eventually he picks up Lucia from jail. The new trailer also reveals the full names of the characters, Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos, as well as the release date: May 26, 2026.

On December 5, 2023, the reveal trailer for GTA 6 was released. The trailer came out earlier than expected thanks to leaked footage appearing on X. The official trailer on Rockstar Games' YouTube channel was viewed more than 40 million times within 7 hours of its release.
We've thoroughly analysed both the GTA 6 trailers, and here are the facts.
The trailers both show scenes of beautiful beaches, tall apartment towers, and palm trees. We can even see airboats racing through swamps, and a crocodile storming into a store. As soon as the large letters “Vice” appear, it's undeniable: GTA 6 is set in Vice City, inspired by Miami!
The trailers feature social media images of people partying, which confirms that the game is set in the present day.
The game will follow the criminal duo Lucia and Jason, who seem to be a modern-day Bonnie and Clyde. In the 1st trailer, Lucia is seen in her “Orange is the New Black” outfit, and the 2nd one follows Jason as he picks up his partner from jail.
There's no official map for GTA 6 revealed yet, however fans of the series have started their own mapping project. If they're right, the GTA 6 map will be around the same size as Just Cause 2, which reportedly takes players over 85 hours to get a 100% completion. Definitely an enormous upgrade from GTA 5.
The last time there was a fan-made map for GTA, the creators turned out to be fairly close to the official map. However, since nothing is officially confirmed, we can't be sure that this is what GTA 6 will look like.
As of now, Take Two has confirmed that GTA 6 is coming to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Any other platforms have not been revealed yet.
Rockstar Games has confirmed that GTA 6 will be released on May 26, 2026.
However, it’s not yet clear whether the game will be available on both Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 on that same date.
We'll have to wait until at least 2026 for the release of GTA VI. Until that time, we can still enjoy GTA V—one of the best games ever. Do you need some GTA cash? Buy your GTA V Shark Cards at Startselect!
