The GTA 6 trailer is here and it has confirmed the Grand Theft Auto 6 location, characters, and release window. So here are the few Things that you should know about GTA 6 !!
There’s no F1 theming here, so it seems unlikely that this is the Pole Position Club from the original Vice City. This gent enjoying himself by the stage is wearing an 8 Dolls of Destruction tour shirt.
There is a real punk metal band of the same name, but it’s not yet clear if they’re involved in GTA 6. The back of the shirt lists the locations the Dolls have played on the tour, including GTA 4’s Liberty City and New York City, plus New Jersey. Brooklyn is Broker, Queens is Dukes, Manhattan is Algonquin, and The Bronx is Bohan and, of course, Vice City.
This overhead shot of the city is a good showcase of how accurate Rockstar’s version of Miami is. The area is practically identical to Biscayne Island, right down to the toll booths guarding the road. Coming in a little further up the road, we can see an illuminated tennis court, suggesting that sporty side activities will be making their return.
Comparison with Vice city
If this shot doesn’t make you nostalgic for Vice City, then nothing will. This is the HD Universe recreation of the original game’s iconic Boardwalk, complete with the Ocean View Hotel, which was Tommy Vercetti’s very first safe house. You can even spot the retro yellow and white Oceanic car that was always parked outside. Next to it is the Boardwalk Hotel, inspired by Miami’s Colony Hotel. In the background, hanging from Hotel Dixon, we can see what appears to be flags for Peru and Haiti, once again signaling the Central and South American cultures that have made their home in Vice City.
Parked out front of the hotels are a variety of GTA’s beloved hyper cars. Most recognizable is likely the Cheetah, this retro white machine inspired by the 1980s classic Ferrari. Behind it is a blue Porsche-like Fester Comet, while in front is a red hard-top Carbonizers based on the Ferrari F12. There’s also the GTA equivalent of the Dodge Charger, Corvette C8, and more hiding among the traffic. On the sidewalk is a beggar with an iguana on his shoulder. He’s just the first hint at what kind of wild people will bump into on our journey through the city.
Night Clubs in GTA 6
Nightclubs are a staple of GTA, so we’re not surprised to see one here. Owning clubs was a significant part of both the original Vice City and GTA Online, so perhaps we’ll be able to buy and manage this one. This aerial shot clearly shows off the Florida Keys and once again points to GTA 6’s ambitions beyond the city limits. To the right, we can see a bridge that is either derelict or under construction. Whatever the case, we feel pretty confident in saying that this will definitely be a car stunt location. And right at the top of the screen, we can see another GTA aerial staple, a blimp. This one is actually based on the Fat Albert blimp, which has patrolled the real Florida Keys since 1978 in an effort to stop drug smuggling.
We switch to a rooftop party for an astonishing display of Rockstar’s hair technology, which falls and flows realistically across her shoulders. It’s not quite clear who this is flicking their hair, but it could well be Lucia herself. Her face, moles, and hairstyle don’t match what we saw earlier, but that’s nothing a day at the salon can’t change. If this is Lucia, then she’s definitely come into some money. That swimsuit has the SN logo of Cantano, an elite fashion brand that was first introduced in GTA 5.
GTA 5
The gold-rimmed follow button suggests this may have been uploaded to SnapM, the GTA Instagram parody that had gold branding back in GTA 5. A post from Poach, aka Protection of Animals and Controlled Huntings, shows how Florida’s wildlife will cause us all kinds of problems, even in urban areas. Additionally, this is just one of a handful of scenes that mimic real-life car culture. Car culture will naturally be a huge part of GTA 6, and we can see a meetup happening from two perspectives here: the aerial shot of the donut and the social media video of the woman dancing on the car’s roof.
This security footage from the gas station showcases not just a gator wandering where it shouldn’t be, but also the dense detailing of GTA 6’s interiors—from the shelves packed with products to the bakery display and lottery ticket counter. This convenience store is as sharply made as any exterior location. Again, this is another scene that mimics real-life. Body cam footage shows what appears to be undercover police bursting through an apartment door. Off to the side is a “Beware of the Dog” sign that features a pooch that looks a lot like GTA 5’s beloved Chop.
A social media account posting this clip is Planet Leonida Man. Leonida is the GTA version of Florida, and so Leonida Man is a riff on Florida Man, an internet meme about the unusual behavior exhibited by the state’s locals.
Locations In GTA 6
There’s even more wildly erratic behavior hinted at on a police billboard in the background, which states that someone is wanted for panty sniffing. Sounds like Vice City’s got real problems. Of course, the cops will want to approach with caution when they find their panty sniffer, as the crotch grabber shirt says, “We bite back in Leonida.” That’ll be another alligator reference then. The road signs here point back to VCI Airport, Kelly County, Port VC, and the Keys, all
places we’ve already seen. The billboard on the right advertises Spines, a clothing brand from the original Vice City and San Andreas.
If you were worried about the GTA series losing its satirical edge, then this moment should put those fears to rest. This post from GOP is actually a sex tape. Of course, there’s no actual sex in it—just a series of quick cuts between various suggestive activities. The accompanying caption, “Doing it for the fans,” suggests the whole thing was staged for social media clout. And for a real twist of the knife, the GOP logo is a mix of the GOP elephant and the Social Club Rockstar logo.
Crime in GTA 6
Back to more traditional GTA crime. We can see this heist unfolding in a video entitled “Score! Bank Heist Escalation.” The crew knocks out the guards and takes them hostage, while one of the crew drills into the vault. Another crew member deals with the bank’s security, which includes the use of a flying drone that looks just like the Nimbus from GTA Online.
The hacking minigame from GTA 5 also returns, and it looks to be the same one that we played back in 2013. That said, it looks like Lucia has had a career change since she was released from prison, as she’s now a white hat hacker.
The yellow-tinted visors worn by the guards match the color scheme of the Bishop, a character who first appeared in Liberty City Stories and was referenced in GTA 4.
Another part of the “Score! Bank Heist Escalation” video showcases the game’s gunplay, including the weapons wheel, which features a lot of returning favorites. Alongside the Micro SMG, M1911, and Pump Shotgun, we can also see a brand-new M16-style assault rifle.
We even see a guard desperately trying to call for backup on a radio, but it’s unclear if this is a contextual action or something the player can do at any time. Of course, the police arrive and try to deal with the robbery in force, but the crew successfully escapes in a speedy sports car that’s been upgraded with huge air intakes and has a striking Union Jack paint job. This car is called the Stryder, a brand-new vehicle to the GTA series.
Conclusion
Finally, we come to the end of the trailer, with Lucia storming the aforementioned mansion. As we mentioned earlier, this location is likely to be the home of the villain, played by Danny McBride. This is a pretty good look at the gunplay, with Lucia using an AK-style rifle with a new red dot sight. She then makes her way upstairs, but the real story is the dialogue between Lucia and the villain, who may or may not be called Clancy.
Lucia declares that the mansion is now her city, and Clancy is out. However, he’s got one last card to play: a self-destruct button. It looks like GTA 6’s story is going to be a serious one, but with plenty of humor throughout. And just to prove that, Clancy detonates the bomb, and the trailer ends with him riding a rocket into the sky.
All in all, this trailer is packed with details, and we’ve only scratched the surface. We’ll be breaking down the GTA 6 trailer in much more detail over the coming days, including an analysis of the full map, a look at all the cars in the trailer, and a comprehensive analysis of the story.”
GTA 6 STORY AND PLAYABLE CHARACTERS.
Rockstar Games revealed the first trailer for GTA 6 on December 4,2023. In it, we’re introduced to Lucia, the main protagonist of GTA 6. According to the leaked gameplay that popped up online early in 2023, GTA 6 could feature two protagonists. This is backed up by what’s shown in the trailer, with Lucia and her partner, currently unnamed, shown pulling off robberies together.
In terms of the story, GTA 6 looks set to follow the couple as they attempt to pull off a big score. Aside from that, we know that it’ll take place in and around Vice City, and that Lucia has been incarcerated at one point or another. We’ll need to wait to hear more on whether GTA 6 will indeed allow players to control Lucia and her partner, but for now, we know a lot more about Lucia than the unnamed man shown in the trailer. Given that they both feature on the game’s main title card, it’s a good bet that there are indeed two playable characters.
Rockstar addresses GTA 6 leak.

GTA 6 suffers huge gameplay leak
Last September, Grand Theft Auto 6 saw what was easily one of the biggest leaks in gaming history. Roughly 90 videos were posted onto the official GTA Forums by a poster named tea pot tuber hacker, containing gameplay footage that’s early in development. Since going live, Rockstar and Take-Two have since removed these through copyright strikes. Updating their original post (now deleted), tea pot tuber hacker claimed he was looking to make a deal with Rockstar and Take-Two Interactive, issuing this statement:
Crucially, Rockstar’s statement advised that the leak shouldn’t cause any delays, stating “we do not anticipate any disruption to our live game services nor any long-term effect on the development of our ongoing projects.” Promising an official update to this next game “when it is ready.”
So there you have it, that’s everything we know about GTA 6 so far.
