We’ve Seen GTA 6 Gameplay IRL - The First Preview

Rockstar hosted an in-person first look at Grand Theft Auto 6, offering select press hands-on time with the game ahead of its public marketing push. The preview session allowed journalists to experience live gameplay directly rather than through controlled trailers or footage.

  • First hands-on press preview for GTA 6 was conducted in-person rather than via remote demos
  • Journalists were given direct gameplay access, not just trailer viewing
  • The preview marks the beginning of Rockstar's pre-launch media campaign for the game
  • This represents a shift toward transparency after years of minimal official GTA 6 reveals
