Rockstar Games has released the first trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6 and confirmed a 2025 release date.
As revealed via a high-profile game leak last year, the trailer confirms the new instalment will take place in Vice City – a fictional Miami – and star a pair of protagonists (one of whom, in a first for the series, is a women).
Rockstar was due to premiere its GTA 6 trailer on Tuesday. However, on Monday an anonymous X (formerly Twitter) account forced its hand by uploaded a low res and heavily watermarked version of the reveal video early.
The account which posted the trailer was quickly banned from X, and shortly after Rockstar published an official version of the trailer, writing: “Our trailer has leaked so please watch the real thing on YouTube.”
Rockstar Games confirmed last week that the first Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer will arrive on Tuesday, December 5 at 9am ET / 6am PT / 2pm GMT.
The studio announced last month that the game’s first trailer would arrive in December to mark the company’s 25th anniversary.
Rockstar confirmed in February 2022 that active development for the next entry in the Grand Theft Auto series was “well underway”, but it didn’t provide any more details about the game.
However, in September 2022, one of the games industry’s most high-profile data leaks saw over an hour of GTA 6 development footage published online , giving players their first look at the sequel to one of the best-selling games of all time.
