Rockstar Unveils First Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer After Years of Waiting

Rockstar Games has released the first official trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI, confirming a return to a Vice City-inspired setting with a contemporary twist. The reveal introduces Lucia as the series' first female protagonist, who appears alongside a male partner in a criminal storyline that some coverage likened to a Bonnie and Clyde dynamic. Multiple reports describe the game as a significant visual leap from Grand Theft Auto V, though they differ slightly on whether the setting is explicitly "Vice City" or the broader fictional state of "Leonida" that encompasses it. Rockstar has announced a 2025 release window for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, with no mention of other platforms at this time.

  • Lucia is the series' first female playable protagonist
  • The setting is a modern-day, Florida-inspired locale with social media integration
  • A 2025 release is planned for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S only
  • The trailer emphasizes a two-person criminal partnership narrative
  • Visual and technical upgrades over GTA V are a stated focus
