Rockstar Games has released two main trailers for Grand Theft Auto VI, followed by an official Extended Look in August 2026.

The videos provide information about Jason, Lucia, Vice City, Leonida, vehicles, characters, activities, and the game’s visual presentation.

Trailer 1

Rockstar released the first GTA VI trailer in December 2023.

The trailer introduced Vice City and established Jason and Lucia as the game’s central characters.

It also showed the game’s modern-day setting and provided the first official look at the world of Leonida.

Trailer 2

Trailer 2 arrived in May 2025 and expanded considerably on the game’s characters and world.

It provided more footage of Jason and Lucia together and showed additional locations, vehicles, activities, and supporting characters.

Trailer 2 also gave players a much broader look at the visual direction of GTA VI.

The August 2026 Extended Look

Rockstar released Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look on August 27, 2026.

Rockstar says the Extended Look was captured entirely from in-game footage on PlayStation 5. It was released through Netflix and Rockstar’s official channels.

This is important because the footage provides another official reference point for discussing GTA VI’s gameplay and presentation.

What the Videos Confirm

Across the official videos, Rockstar has shown:

  • Jason Duval
  • Lucia Caminos
  • Vice City
  • The wider state of Leonida
  • Vehicles and watercraft
  • Criminal activities
  • Various supporting characters
  • Interior and exterior environments
  • Modern social-media-inspired elements
  • Combat and action sequences

However, not every interpretation of footage represents an officially confirmed gameplay mechanic.

Confirmed vs Speculation

When analyzing GTA VI footage, it is important to distinguish between:

Confirmed: Something Rockstar explicitly shows or states.

Observed: Something visibly present in official footage.

Speculation: An interpretation of what a particular scene could mean.

For example, seeing a character use a particular vehicle confirms that vehicle appears in the footage. It does not automatically confirm every gameplay mechanic associated with that vehicle.

Final Takeaway

The official GTA VI footage gives players a substantial amount of information, but there are still many unanswered questions.

As Rockstar releases additional information, this article will be updated with new confirmed details.
