First Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer takes players back to Vice City

Watch Trailer 1: Tuesday, December 5 at 9AM ET

Rockstar Games finally dropped the first trailer for the next game in the Grand Theft Auto series, which is officially titled Grand Theft Auto VI. It’s set to launch in 2025 and it’ll take players back to Vice City.

The trailer, which clocks in at just over 90 seconds, begins with one of the main characters, Lucia, saying she’s in prison because of “bad luck.” We then get a look at Vice City, the surrounding areas players will be able to explore, and the people within it. The trailer clearly establishes that this is a city where people live in excess and like to party — and clearly, that sometimes teeters over into criminal activity. The trailer gets more intense as it goes on, as we see Lucia and her partner running from the cops and robbing a store.

It’s nice to finally have a clear look at GTA 6 in action after all these years of rumors and leaks. What we saw does line up with those rumors and looks even better than the leaks about the game that came out in September 2022. Rockstar still couldn’t escape major leaks with this reveal, though, as it posted the trailer early after it got leaked on X (formerly Twitter).

There’s plenty about GTA 6 that we don’t know, but Rockstar haslots of time to reveal it. The end of the trailer confirms that it’s coming out sometime in 2025, which means we’re less than two years out from the launch of the next Grand Theft Auto game. That’s bound to be one of, if not the, biggest video game release of all time, and I’m guessing this strong reveal will only amplify the hype further.

Grand Theft Auto VI will launch sometime in 2025.

You were probably bored during Covid-19 pandemic lockdown, but were you "film an entire documentary in Grand Theft Auto Online" bored? Grand Theft Hamlet is just that sort of project, and after winning the documentary feature jury award at SXSW this year, it's going to get a theatrical and streaming release.

As reported in The Hollywood Reporter, independent and art house streaming service Mubi has acquired the rights to distribute Grand Theft Hamlet, a documentary that follows two actors who want to stage a production of William Shakespeare's Hamlet in GTA Online's world. If the clip below is any indication, they run into some issues, as is expected for a game where provoking violence against others is part of the fun.

One of the most popular games on Steam has hit a snag for Steam Deck players. Grand Theft Auto 5 and Grand Theft Auto Online are no longer supported for Valve's PC handheld.

Rockstar Games explains in a post for Update 1.69 (and spotted by The Verge), that its game won't be supported by Steam Deck due to the integration of BattlEye Anti-Cheat for Grand Theft Auto Online. The goal was to put a limit on cheating in its open-world MMO, but that came at the cost of Steam Deck support.
