Rockstar Games has officially revealed that the release of Grand Theft Auto VI has been postponed to May 26, 2026. The company expressed regret over the delay of this eagerly awaited title, which has been the focus of considerable speculation for several years. Now the company has taken the gaming world by surprise with the sudden drop of the second official trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6).
Clocking in at nearly three minutes, the newly released footage offers a deeper look into the neon-drenched chaos of Vice City and introduces players to the dynamic lives of the game’s central characters, Jason and Lucia. This follows shortly after the official announcement of the game’s release date and comes more than a year after the first trailer premiered in December 2023.
Alongside the trailer, Rockstar has launched a dedicated website for GTA 6, unveiling the first official synopsis of the game’s storyline. Set in the sun-soaked region of Leonida — home to a reimagined Vice City — the game follows the high-octane exploits of Jason and Lucia, a duo whose criminal activities are matched only by their romantic involvement.
The site provides detailed character bios for both protagonists, as well as supporting characters, giving fans their first in-depth glimpse at the people who populate this dangerous new world. According to Rockstar, the footage featured in the trailer was captured on a PlayStation 5, highlighting the game’s lush visuals and the vibrant, unpredictable nature of its environment.
The previous occasion when the game sparked this level of enthusiasm was in 2023, following the online leak of a trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI. In reaction, Rockstar presented the first official glimpse of the game 15 hours earlier than planned. The concise 90-second trailer provided fans with a preview of what to expect, suggesting that the new installment would take place in a Vice City reminiscent of Miami and introduce a female lead character, Lucia, which would be a first for the franchise.
