GTA VI Trailer Just Got Dropped Out of Nowhere
Grand Theft Auto VI was one of the most anticipated games of the year, and a lot of people were disappointed when it was reported that GTA VI would be delayed to 2026. Sure, it's a bummer for fans, but Rockstar has decided to be nice about it by shadow-dropping a new GTA VI trailer. Check this out: Here's the official description for the game: Vice City, USA. Jason and Lucia have always known the deck is stacked against them. But when an easy score goes wrong, they find themselves on the darkest side of the sunniest place in America, in the middle of a conspiracy stretching across the state of Leonida — forced to rely on each other more than ever if they want to make it out alive. While I'm sure one of the characters is played by character actor Stephen Root, Matty Matheson from The Bear is unmistakable—they even kept a lot of his tattoos. The trailer has everything that fans would be expecting from a massive new GTA game, from weapons and vehicles, to all kinds of crime gigs that glamorize the world of Grand Theft Auto . Since the last game was so massive, some are also expecting all kinds of minigames in this one; besides exercising, I'm sure there's also going to be a picking-up garbage mini-game while you do community service. GTA V came out back in 2013, and a lot of fans have been waiting for more than a decade for the seriel. We don't know exactly what Rockstar has in store, but after all this waiting, fans are expecting this to be worth the $100 price tag it's rumored to have when it launches. Jump into GTA VI next year when the game comes out for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S on May 6, 2026.

‘GTA 6' Surprise Drops Trailer 2 With Sex, Lies And Vice City
GTA 6 Rockstar Last week Rockstar announced that it would be delaying Grand Theft Auto 6 until May 26 of 2026, over a year from now and approximately six months or so after its promised fall 2025 window. Now, in order to wash out the taste of that, Rockstar has released the second GTA 6 trailer, joining the first one that was released way back in December of 2023. The trailer is far more heavily story-focused, mainly based around co-lead Jason and then midway through, switches to his steamy relationship with Lucia after she goes out of prison. That was a lot more sex and hooking up that I was expecting from this trailer, but hey, when in Vice City. Trailer 2 is focused less on the random crazy happenings of Vice City like the first one, and dives deeper into story components of the game itself, along with showing how pretty it looks in-engine. I immediately recognized the voice of Stephen Root as apparently some sort of low-level criminal boss, instructing Jason to shakedown local merchants. Later, we see Lucia and Jason escalate into full-scale masked robbery, though the overall plotline here remains at least somewhat of a mystery, despite all this new footage. Needless to say, this has broken the internet, as this time around, unlike the first trailer, Rockstar gave quite literally zero warning this was coming. YouTube viewcounts apparently cannot keep up with how many people are watching. I'm seeing 25,000 views with 928,000 likes, so something is very much broken here. The first one has 252 million views, and I would expect this much better trailer to get close to that, even perhaps beat it over time. GTA 6 Rockstar Grand Theft Auto 6 will be without question the biggest video game of all time, at least in terms of scope, though it will take time to beat GTA 5's 210 million copies over a decade. That said, it will absolutely be setting day one/week one/month one sales records, based on the sheer level of hype this game has garnered. The game being delayed isn't ideal, as investors aren't pleased. But publishers are breathing a sigh of relief they won't have to compete with it in the fall, and players probably don't care all that much about waiting a few more months when it's been 12 years since GTA 5. And this looks, very clearly, absolutely incredible. Follow me on Twitter , YouTube , Bluesky and Instagram . Pick up my sci-fi novels the Herokiller series and The Earthborn Trilogy .
