Rockstar Games released the launch trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6 on October 15, 35 days before the game's November 19 release on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. The trailer runs for 90 seconds. Rockstar said the footage was captured on PS5, and IGN noted that the trailer opens with a "plays best on PS5" message, reflecting Rockstar's partnership with Sony.
Rockstar's description of the trailer sets up the premise: when "an easy score goes wrong," Jason and Lucia find themselves "in the middle of a criminal conspiracy stretching across the state of Leonida."
What the trailer shows
The trailer opens on The Keys, an area Eurogamer said had gone largely unexplored in earlier footage. Jason narrates that he "got in some trouble in the army" and "didn't leave on the best of terms," IGN reported, and is shown working at Brian's Marina before taking a call from Lucia Caminos. Eurogamer described it as a reverse-charge call, suggesting Lucia is calling from jail.
Several outlets pointed to an ankle tag on Lucia's leg, which Eurogamer said hints that she is on parole. The trailer also includes a shower scene between the two protagonists, which Eurogamer said appears to confirm rumored sex scenes. Other shots show heists, including a helicopter carrying part of a bank vault into a building, according to Dexerto, and what Eurogamer described as a helicopter getaway gone wrong.
Justice score
Rockstar confirmed that the French electronic duo Justice, Gaspard Augé and Xavier de Rosnay, composed the game's original score. The trailer is set to a new Justice single, "Flower in a Hurricane," featuring Tame Impala, SZA and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, which will appear on Grand Theft Auto 6: The Album, the official soundtrack. PC Gamer noted that the first two trailers used licensed tracks, Tom Petty's "Love Is a Long Road" and The Pointer Sisters' "Hot Together."
Rockstar has not announced a PC version. GameSpot reported that one is expected in early 2027, a claim PC Gamer treated as an unconfirmed rumor.
Eurogamer noted that the trailer arrived during a week in which Rockstar's employment tribunal was under way in Glasgow, and after a week of leaked gameplay videos from the hacker known as Cyberleek.
