The story trailer. Trailer 2 arrived on May 6, 2025: Jason picks Lucia up, an easy score goes wrong, and the two of them get pulled into a conspiracy that runs clear across the state of Leonida. Rockstar captured the whole thing in game on a PlayStation 5, half gameplay and half cutscenes, set to “Hot Together” by The Pointer Sisters.
Where it all started. The first trailer landed on December 4, 2023, a day ahead of plan after a leak forced Rockstar's hand. Lucia walks out of prison, modern Vice City shows itself for the first time, and Tom Petty's “Love Is a Long Road” does the rest. It has passed 300 million views on YouTube since.
GTA 6 is weeks from landing, so here is the road in: Grand Theft Auto started in 1997 as a top-down cop game in Scotland, and GTA V grew into the second best-selling game ever made.
Four official looks, four different jobs. Trailer 1 proved the world, Trailer 2 proved the leads, the 26 minute Extended Look proved the game, and the Launch Trailer proved the score. All four live on the Moe Train's Tracks trailers page.
Everything a player needs for GTA 6 launch week in one place: pre-load windows on PlayStation 5 and Xbox, the 212 GB download, the midnight local unlock on November 19, and the trailer watch order.
GTA 6 has no score yet, and anyone posting one made it up. Here is the real bar, checked on Metacritic and OpenCritic: IV at 98, V at 97, III at 97, Vice City and San Andreas at 95.
Rockstar announced Grand Theft Auto VI: The Festival today: November 21 at Mana Wynwood in Miami, two stages, and a lineup pulled straight off the soundtrack. Travis Scott, Cardi B, Metro Boomin, and a Justice DJ set.
GTA 6 pre-loading started today, nine days early and 212 GB deep. Xbox pre-loads open tonight at 7 PM ET, and the fans already digging through the locked files found multiplayer hiding in the labels.
Rockstar opened the GTA 6 Launch Gallery today: 39 new screenshots of Jason, Lucia, Vice City, and the Leonida wilds, two weeks before the November 19 launch. I went through every one. Here are the shots that matter.
San Andreas turned 22 yesterday, and I am saying it one more time: CJ is the true GOAT of this series, the game played like the best 90s gangsta movies ever made, and GTA V never touched it. GTA 6 gets its shot on November 19.
Ninety leaked clips, one teenager with a Fire Stick, two delays, and a thirteen year wait. I have not watched a second of the leaked GTA 6 footage, and I am not starting now. Here is why the leaks hurt the fans, the builders, and the game itself.
Grand Theft Auto VI launches Thursday, November 19, 2026 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S.
GTA VI: The Festival is the official launch celebration in Miami on Saturday, November 21, 2026, two days after the game launches.
Both official trailers live on this page and across the Moe Train Games coverage: Trailer 1 from December 2023 and Trailer 2 from May 2025.
