GTA 6 trailers: what trailer 1, trailer 2, and the extended look showed
Rockstar has kept GTA 6 marketing short and sharp: two trailers, an official site update, and a long gameplay look this year. Here is what each GTA 6 trailer showed, and how sure we are about each part.

GTA 6 trailer 1 (December 2023)
Trailer 1 introduced Lucia in the Leonida Penitentiary, then cut across the state: Vice City beaches and nightlife, the Keys, swamps, a mud bogging club, and phone style social clips that fans have matched to viral Florida videos. It ends with Lucia and Jason robbing a convenience store.
It was set to Love Is a Long Road by Tom Petty. Rockstar put it out a day early after it leaked online. Our radio and music page tracks the songs and stations Rockstar has confirmed since.
GTA 6 trailer 2 (May 2025)
Trailer 2 gave Jason his proper introduction alongside Lucia, and arrived with a big update to the official site: bios for the cast, descriptions of the six regions, and dozens of screenshots.
Rockstar said it was captured on a PlayStation 5 and is roughly equal parts gameplay and cutscenes. The song was Hot Together by The Pointer Sisters.
The extended look (reported, August 2026)
Coverage describes an extended look at close to half an hour, following a chain of jobs and showing side activities such as races, jet skis, and diving. We mark it reported because we could not check Rockstar's own post about it.
Is there a GTA 6 launch trailer?
Coverage also reports a launch trailer in mid October 2026. We will describe it here once we can check it against Rockstar's own channels.
