Every official GTA 6 trailer and video
Rockstar’s official media library lists 11 GTA 6 videos: Trailer 1, Trailer 2, the official cover-art animation, and eight character clips. A video is only “official” when it appears on Rockstar’s verified channels — the words “official trailer” in a YouTube title prove nothing.
| Video | Music | Watch |
|---|---|---|
| Trailer 1 | “Love Is a Long Road” — Tom Petty | Official upload ↗ |
| Trailer 2 | “Hot Together” — The Pointer Sisters | Official upload ↗ |
| Cover-art animation | — | Official upload ↗ |
| 8 character clips | — | Rockstar media library ↗ |
Rockstar describes Trailer 2 as a mix of gameplay and cutscenes captured in-game on PlayStation 5 — that does not make every shot player-controlled gameplay. Trailer songs are not automatically confirmed as in-game radio tracks. Trailer 3 does not exist in the official library; any upload claiming otherwise is fake until Rockstar publishes it.
GTA 6 characters: the confirmed cast
Grew up around grifters and crooks, spent time in the Army, and later worked for drug runners in the Leonida Keys. His relationship with Lucia is central to the story.
Learned to fight from her father, spent time in prison, and is focused on changing the odds for herself and her family. Originally from Liberty City.
An associate of Jason's who is more comfortable monitoring Coast Guard communications and conspiracy theories than being at the center of the action.
A Vice City figure with interests in real estate, a strip club, and music, connected to Only Raw Records and Dre’Quan Priest.
A hustler focused on making it in music rather than remaining in the streets. He signs Real Dimez through Only Raw Records.
Bae-Luxe and Roxy, a rap and social-media duo whose history and online presence are part of their rise.
An experienced bank robber who searches for talented people willing to take major risks for major rewards.
An old-school drug runner in the Keys who lets Jason live on one of his properties in exchange for work.
Voice actors have not been announced. Rumored casting names remain unverified until Rockstar confirms them.
Every confirmed Leonida region
| Region | What Rockstar has shown |
|---|---|
| Vice City | The major urban center — the modern return of the franchise’s Miami-inspired setting. |
| Leonida Keys | Island communities, waterways, fishing culture, smuggling routes, and coastal life. |
| Grassrivers | Wetland territory inspired by southern Florida’s marsh and alligator country. |
| Port Gellhorn | A weathered coastal city and former tourism hub. |
| Ambrosia | An industrial area tied to sugar production and local power. |
| Mount Kalaga National Park | Northern wilderness — trails, hunting territory, and off-road terrain. |
Rockstar has not released the complete map or an official size comparison. Community map reconstructions are impressive projects — and they are not the official map.
GTA 6 Standard vs Ultimate Edition
| Standard — $79.99 | Ultimate — $99.99 | |
|---|---|---|
| Base game | ✓ | ✓ |
| Vintage Vice City Pack | ✓ (pre-order) | ✓ |
| Ultimate Edition Upgrade | — | ✓ — vehicles, weapons, styles, properties and activities woven into Jason and Lucia’s story (1995 Grotti Cheetah, Hawk & Little Morgan revolvers, Shitzu Squalo boat, Paradise Garage and more) |
| GTA+ trial | 1 month | 1 month |
The Vintage Vice City Pack includes the 1955 Vapid Stanier Sedan and garage, appearance items, and an exclusive weapon pattern. Note: the promotional GTA+ month auto-renews unless cancelled and must be claimed by March 31, 2027. Rockstar’s own physical package is code-in-box — it does not include a disc.
PC and GTA 6 Online status
Confirmed There is no announced PC version or PC release date. A former Rockstar producer has explained the studio’s console-first logic — fixed hardware targets first, the wide PC configuration matrix later — but that is context, not an announcement. Any specific PC year you see is unverified. Full detail on our GTA 6 PC release date status page, including the historical GTA V and RDR2 PC gaps and a rumor tracker.
Reported Court-document reporting describes an unannounced online service and a difficult 32-player internal test session. That supports online development existing — it does not confirm the final lobby size, modes, name, or whether anything online launches on November 19.
Rumor tracker: the claims that matter
Newzoo explicitly rejected the viral figure. Its own estimate is roughly $260M in first-week global digital pre-orders — a modeled estimate, not a Rockstar figure.
Rockstar’s media library lists no Trailer 3. Treat any "official Trailer 3" upload as fake unless it appears on Rockstar’s verified channels.
No official install size exists. The viral storage screenshot is not authoritative.
Rockstar has not announced frame-rate or resolution modes. Technical analysts consider a 30fps baseline more realistic, with a 40fps mode plausible — that is analysis, not confirmation.
Court-document reporting supports online development work (including a reported 32-player internal session), but no launch plan, mode design, or final player count is confirmed.
Rockstar has not released a complete map. Fan reconstructions are community projects, not canon.
No public beta or early-access program has been announced. Sites offering one are scams — see the warning below.
There is no public GTA 6 beta, no VIP early access, and no downloadable build. Fake beta sites, crypto-payment offers, “early access” keys, and AI-generated “official trailer” uploads are active scams. Verify every GTA 6 link against rockstargames.com/VI before you click, and never pay anyone for early access.
