All GTA 6 trailers
Updated:
GTA 6 has two official trailers so far, and both were events on the scale of other games’ launches. Both are below, plus everything about the third showing, which now has a date: August 27, 2026.
Trailer 1 — December 4, 2023
The announcement trailer, scored with Tom Petty. It went up a day ahead of schedule — the video leaked, so Rockstar published it officially and early. Even so it cleared 90 million views in the first 24 hours, a record for a game video on YouTube.
What it showed: Vice City and the state of Leonida, Lucia in prison blues, and the tone of the game — satire aimed squarely at Florida-Man Florida.
Trailer 2 — May 6, 2025
A surprise drop with no warning, landing alongside the redesigned official site. Per Rockstar, across all platforms combined the video pulled hundreds of millions of views in its first 24 hours — and it was the first real look at the game: in-engine footage, Jason and Lucia at work, a flight over Leonida.
Along with the trailer, Rockstar revealed the six map regions and the supporting cast.
Trailer 3 — August 27, 2026
On August 6 Rockstar named the date: “Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look” on August 27. The premiere runs on Netflix at 3:00 p.m. ET, and the free version — on the Rockstar Games YouTube channel and the game’s own site — follows at 9:00 p.m. ET, six hours after the premiere.
Rockstar does not use the word “trailer”: what was announced is an extended look, and that is exactly why everyone expects the first genuine gameplay demonstration out of it.
Everything about that showing — the times, whether you need Netflix, and what to expect from the video — is on its own page: GTA 6 trailer 3, August 27. The frame-by-frame breakdown goes up there as soon as the video hits YouTube.
I go live on Twitch an hour before the showcase and stay on for the debrief right after; the countdown is on the trailer 3 page as well.
The music from both trailers — and everything identified in the leaks — is broken down separately: all the GTA 6 music, with a playlist on four services.
