GTA 6 trailers

GTA 6 has three trailers and one long gameplay showcase, as of October 20, 2026. Rockstar's launch trailer page lists four official videos: Trailer 1, Trailer 2, the 27-minute "Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look" from August 2026, and the Launch Trailer from October 15, 2026. No video has ever been titled "Trailer 3": Polygon used that name for An Extended Look, while the Launch Trailer is the third video Rockstar itself calls a trailer.

The four official videos at a glance#

Trailer 1 (December 4, 2023)#

The reveal. Rockstar published it a day early after it leaked, and it set a record for the most-viewed video game reveal in a day. Scored to Tom Petty's "Love Is a Long Road," it introduced modern-day Vice City, the state of Leonida, and Lucia, and it ended with a "2025" window that later slipped twice. That window is why the delay history exists at all.

Trailer 2 (May 6, 2025)#

Released four days after Rockstar announced the first delay, Trailer 2 introduced Jason properly and put the couple's relationship front and center: Jason picking Lucia up from prison, a getaway, a liquor-store robbery, and fishing in the Keys. It arrived with a batch of screenshots and the first detailed character and region pages on Rockstar's site. Scored to the Pointer Sisters' "Hot Together," it was one of the biggest video launches of all time.

An Extended Look (August 27, 2026)#

This is the gameplay reveal. Rockstar announced it on August 6 with a schedule, quoted by Variety: a Netflix premiere at 3:00 p.m. Eastern on August 27, then a free release on YouTube and the GTA VI site at 9:00 p.m. Eastern, six hours later. It runs just under 27 minutes and follows Jason and Lucia through several story sequences: a drug deal gone wrong that ends with the pair evading police, a meeting at a rooftop bar, and a getaway drive for Raul Bautista after a bank robbery, as Dexerto's recap describes. Rockstar says it was captured entirely from in-game footage on PlayStation 5.

What it showed: the six-star wanted level with evidence icons, seamless character switching, the phone and its apps, robberies, deep customization, and a long list of activities from scuba diving to street racing. The main mechanics are unpacked in the gameplay features guide. Watch it free on Rockstar's official YouTube channel or at rockstargames.com/VI.

Launch Trailer (October 15, 2026)#

The most recent video. Rockstar posted it to YouTube at 6:00 a.m. Pacific on October 15. It runs about 90 seconds, and Rockstar says it "was captured entirely in-game from a PlayStation 5." The footage opens on The Keys, an area Eurogamer notes had been largely unexplored in earlier trailers, then moves through heists, including a helicopter getaway that appears to go wrong, a police chase and a shower scene between Jason and Lucia. Jason talks about leaving the military on bad terms, and the trailer ends with the couple jumping off a roof into a hotel pool, as gHacks describes.

The music changed too. Trailers 1 and 2 used licensed songs; the Launch Trailer is scored by "Flower in a Hurricane," an original song from the game's score composers Justice featuring Tame Impala, SZA and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard. The full breakdown is in our launch trailer story, and the song has its own story.

Is there another trailer coming?#

Rockstar has not announced another video as of October 24, 2026, and Eurogamer called the Launch Trailer likely the final trailer before release. Between the Extended Look and the Launch Trailer, the campaign ran through magazine covers, the Game Informer feature, a soundtrack album, a merchandise line and store updates. All four official videos went out on Rockstar's own channels, with An Extended Look premiering on Netflix first, so those channels are the place to watch. The campaign is also spreading onto other platforms: see our story on the reported GTA 6 Discord theme.
