The GTA 6 launch trailer is here, formally ushering in the next era of Grand Theft Auto after more than a decade post-GTA 5.
Rockstar shared the new trailer earlier today, “featuring the debut of ‘Flower in a Hurricane’ from original score composers Justice feat. Tame Impala, SZA, and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard.”
The short trailer sees dual protagonists Jason and Lucia open up about their struggles. Jason notably sports long hair for much of the trailer; in the opening seconds, he discusses the obstacles he’s faced after a less than glamorous military departure. Lucia is seen sporting a monitoring anklet during an intimate shower scene, and at one point wonders, “are we gonna be OK” amid a storm of crime.
“Jason and Lucia have always known the deck is stacked against them,” reads the video description. “But when an easy score goes wrong, they find themselves on the darkest side of the sunniest place in America, in the middle of a criminal conspiracy stretching across the state of Leonida — forced to rely on each other more than ever if they want to make it out alive.”
The early response from Grand Theft Auto fans is unsurprisingly enormous, with millions piling into Rockstar’s accounts across social media. On YouTube, GTA 6 hopefuls express disbelief at finally having a launch trailer in their hands. “I thought I would never live this moment,” reads one top comment.
Grand Theft Auto 6 is out November 19 on PS5 and Xbox Series X. The launch trailer was captured on PS5.
