The first GTA 6 trailer unveiled earlier than expected

Rockstar Games unveiled the first Grand Theft Auto (GTA) 6 trailer earlier than expected after an early leak. A now-suspended account shared the video on X (previously Twitter) less than a day before Rockstar was due to debut GTA 6’s first trailer.

The GTA 6 trailer had to to debut on Tuesday, December 5 at 9 a.m. But Rockstar responded immediately by releasing the trailer earlier in the morning today at 4 a.m. following a leak.

Our trailer has leaked so please watch the real thing on YouTube: https://t.co/T0QOBDHwBe

The trailer shows several small aspects of GTA 6 that have progressively emerged over the last two years. Such as the Vice City setting and the game’s first female protagonist along with Bonnie and Clyde-inspired story elements.

The GTA 6 trailer centers on a single protagonist, a woman named Lucia. Lucia seems in a prison jumpsuit apparently at the opening of the trailer. She commits crimes alongside her boyfriend after being freed from jail.

However, the trailer is more interesting with GTA mainstays including fast vehicles, reckless gunplay, handfuls of ill-gotten wealth, and overall American-flavored hedonism. It is against the backdrop of Vice City which is a fictionalized version of Miami.

According to Rockstar Games, Grand Theft Auto 6 will take place in the state of Leonida which is home to the neon-soaked streets of Vice City.

The trailer reveals that GTA 6 is set to release in 2025. Rockstar confirmed the game will be available on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S that year.

The reveal of GTA 6 has been plagued with leaks. A teenager from the United Kingdom was found guilty of last year’s leak. It leaked 90 recordings from the in-development process earlier this year.

Grand Theft Auto 6 is an upcoming action-adventure online game developed by Rockstar Games. It follows the Grand Theft Auto 5 and is the eighth main GTA game and sixteenth installment overall.
