Trailer 1 (December 4, 2023)

- Released a day early after a low-quality copy leaked on X.
- Reached 90 million YouTube views in 24 hours, a Guinness World Record for a game reveal.
- Its viral, social-media-style clips set the tone for GTA VI's satire of modern Florida.

Trailer 2 (May 6, 2025)
Trailer 2 came four days after the first delay. It focused on Jason, showed how he and Lucia meet, and gave the first proper look at the wider state. Rockstar says it was all captured in-game on a PlayStation 5.
- Rockstar reported more than 475 million views across platforms in 24 hours.
- It came with a rebuilt GTA VI site with character profiles for Cal, Boobie, Dre'Quan, Real Dimez, Raul, and Brian.
- Streams of "Hot Together" jumped by around 182,000% on Spotify after the trailer.
An Extended Look (August 27, 2026)
Rockstar calls this a gameplay presentation, not a trailer. At almost 27 minutes, it shows driving, shootouts, heists, and side activities, all captured on PlayStation 5. It premiered on Netflix at 3 p.m. ET, six hours before Rockstar's own channels, and became Netflix's most-watched film worldwide that week.
Launch Trailer (October 15, 2026)
Rockstar dropped the Launch Trailer with no warning, five weeks before release. It runs 90 seconds and debuts "Flower in a Hurricane" by Justice featuring Tame Impala, SZA, and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard.
Watch the Grand Theft Auto VI Launch Trailer, featuring the debut of “Flower in a Hurricane” from original score composers Justice feat. Tame Impala, SZA, and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard. Grand Theft Auto VI arrives November 19.
