GTA 6 drops its second trailer and Vice City has never looked better
Rockstar Games doesn’t need gaming expos or events to break the internet. Out of nowhere, the studio has released the second official Grand Theft Auto VI trailer, nearly a year and a half after the first one. The video confirms it: Vice City is back, and Jason and Lucia are the heart of this new story about love, crime and survival.
What does the new trailer reveal?
This almost three-minute-long trailer features cinematic moments, car chases, shootouts and emotional scenes between the two leads. The tone is clear: a modern-day Bonnie & Clyde story. Jason Duval is an ex-soldier turned drug runner, while Lucía Caminos is freshly released from prison, hoping to rebuild her life with Jason.
The city of Vice City, in the fictional state of Leonida (a clear nod to Florida), looks more alive and detailed than ever. From yacht parties to motel gunfights, the trailer shows a visually upgraded world with Rockstar’s signature storytelling.
Release date and confirmed platforms
The game’s release date remains unchanged: May 26, 2026, for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. The PC version will follow later, likely in 2027.
According to the trailer, the footage is taken from the PS5 version, though it’s unclear whether it’s from the standard or Pro model.
A crime story with heart
Here’s how Rockstar officially describes the story:
“Jason and Lucia have always known the odds were against them. But when a seemingly easy score goes wrong, they find themselves on the darker side of the sunniest place in America…”
The soundtrack, “I’m So Excited” by The Pointer Sisters, gives the trailer an energetic, passionate, and romantic vibe—fitting for a love story wrapped in chaos.
The most ambitious GTA yet?
Rockstar clearly favors quality over speed. With major graphical leaps, deep character writing, and a vibrant open world, GTA 6 may very well be the most ambitious installment in the franchise’s history. Despite the delay, fans seem convinced: it’ll be worth the wait.
