The hype surrounding "Grand Theft Auto VI" is palpable. The latest trailer has already given fans a tantalizing glimpse into the game's dark, seedy underbelly. As the sixth installment of the famous series, GTA 6 is predicted to shatter records as the biggest blockbuster in gaming history, with estimates suggesting it will rake in more than $3 billion.
In the new GTA 6 trailer, developer Rockstar plunges viewers into the depths of a fictional metropolis reminiscent of Miami, Florida – Vice City, to be precise. For two thrilling minutes, we're treated to a pure dose of GTA: car chases, sex, heists, fights, explosions, and standoffs with the police.
At the heart of this chaotic city-wide manhunt are our protagonists, Lucia and Jason. According to the latest website update, the lovebirds find themselves "on the darkest side of the sunniest spot in all of America." Their journey unfolds amidst a sprawling, cross-state conspiracies. Jason, a former army vet, was raised among lowlifes before crossing paths with Lucia, a woman with a violent past and a penchant for fighting who spent time in Leonida Penitentiary for standing up for her family.
Rockstar elaborates on the duo's backstory: "Lucia's father taught her to fight since she could walk. Her life has been marked by hardships because she fought for her family. She ended up in Leonida Penitentiary." Both are yearning for a peaceful, ordinary life, determined to take control of their fate, regardless of the cost.
Interestingly Enough... In the first four hours after the trailer's release, over 21 million people tuned in to watch. The first trailer reached 93 million views within 24 hours, setting a new YouTube record for non-music videos. Even the Guinness World Records took notice, commenting on the viewership figures.
Disappointingly for PC gamers, the trailer only highlighted the logos of PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. While the game has been announced exclusively for these systems, a PC release has yet to be confirmed. Some speculate the PC version may not arrive until 2027.
Originally slated for a 2023 release, developer Rockstar moved the launch date to May 26, 2026. The extra time is needed, according to the developer, to deliver the high level of quality that fans have come to expect from the series.
