It’s no understatement to say that the wait for Grand Theft Auto 6’s first trailer has felt endless. But now, it’s finally here—a thrilling 90-second glimpse into the neon-soaked streets of Vice City, teeming with criminals, eccentrics, and wild parties.

Every frame of the trailer is packed with stories waiting to be uncovered. We’ve dissected it shot by shot to bring you every hidden detail. So, let’s dive deep into the world of GTA 6 and explore what Rockstar has in store for us.

01 – The trailer begins with a quintessential Florida scene, featuring a vibrant sunset that echoes the aesthetic of Rockstar’s ‘Save the Date’ teaser tweet. The shot is alive with details like birds soaring and palm trees swaying in the breeze.

02 – The foreground shows a bustling road filled with classic GTA vehicles, including trucks, RVs, boats, and motorcycles. Notably, a semi-truck displays the logo for Patriot Beer, a brand that debuted in Grand Theft Auto 4.

03 – In the distance, a towering broadcast mast stands tall, modeled after the real-life WTVY TV Tower, which happens to be Florida’s highest point. Fans are already speculating whether players will be able to scale it and leap off for a thrilling base jump.

04 – The scene shifts to reveal the guard towers and barbed-wire fencing of a prison, likely the facility where Lucia, one of the protagonists, is incarcerated. The towers match those seen in the opening shot, and Lucia is shown gazing out of a prison window.

05 – Lucia’s introduction highlights the game’s stunning graphical advancements, even surpassing Red Dead Redemption 2. Her hair is rendered with remarkable realism, with the sunlight streaming through the window accentuating its texture and waves.

06 – The detail extends to Stefanie, a staff member at the Leonida Department of Correction (LDC). Her lanyard bears the facility’s name, and Lucia’s prison uniform features the LDC initials, adding to the game’s immersive world-building.

07 – Stefanie asks Lucia if she understands why she’s there, hinting that the game might begin with Lucia committing a crime and being sent to the LDC. The key art reveals Lucia wearing an ankle monitor, suggesting the main story takes place after her release on probation.

08 – An aerial view of the ocean showcases Rockstar’s impressive water physics and marine life. Dolphins can be seen leaping out of the water on the left, while a shark lurks beneath the surface on the right.

09 – The camera pans to a crowded beach, possibly inspired by Washington or Ocean Beach from the original Vice City. This vibrant seafront teems with activity, setting the tone for the game’s lively open world.

10 – A Maverick helicopter flies overhead, a nod to Vice City, where helicopters were first introduced. Choppers appear frequently in the trailer, possibly as a homage to the series’ roots.

11 – A Dodo plane soars across the sky, reminiscent of the iconic Dildo Dodo mission from Vice City. Its inclusion is a fun callback for long-time fans.

12 – The plane tows a banner advertising “Nine1Nine Vice City,” a playful jab at Miami’s real-life E11ELEVEN nightclub. The tagline reads, “Why Sixty Nine when you can Nine One Nine?”

13 – The beachfront architecture captures Miami’s essence, with some buildings directly replicating real-life structures. For instance, a high-rise with a distinctive rooftop hole mirrors the real 500 Brickell condominium on Brickell Avenue.

14 – The trailer shifts to a rural setting inspired by the Florida Everglades, showcasing the game’s diverse map. An airboat glides through the wetlands, hinting at new transportation options for players.

15 – The wetlands are teeming with wildlife, from flamingos to alligators and crocodiles, set against lush, detailed foliage. This level of environmental detail evokes memories of Red Dead Redemption 2’s Bayou.

16 – Back on the beach, Rockstar’s advanced crowd technology shines. Each NPC is engaged in unique activities, like applying sunscreen or snapping photos, creating a lively and dynamic atmosphere.

17 – Dogs make a return, with one particularly adorable pup patrolling the beach. Their inclusion adds to the game’s sense of realism and charm.

18 – A Sea Sparrow helicopter flies overhead, another callback to Vice City. This amphibious chopper, equipped with pontoons, was a fan favorite at the Vercetti Estate.

19 – The beach is dotted with blue-and-white parasols labeled “Vice Beach,” confirming the return of this iconic location from the original Vice City. It’s GTA’s version of Miami’s famous South Beach.

20 – In the background, a luxury apartment complex called “Bayfront Heights” looms over the coastline. Could this be a potential property for players to purchase in GTA 6 Online?

21 – Another waterfront scene features boats speeding past Port Vice City, identifiable by the PVC logo on the blue shipping cranes. This moment pays homage to the opening of Michael Mann’s Miami Vice movie, which, along with the ’80s TV show, heavily inspired the original Vice City.

22 – A docked freighter is loaded with cargo containers from two familiar GTA shipping companies: Bilgeco and Jetsam. These brands first appeared in GTA 5, tying the new game to its predecessors.

23 – In this scene, Lucia appears to be causing chaos on the Vice City highway while a bystander films her from his car. Given the emphasis on social media in the trailer, this could be Lucia’s attempt at going viral, perhaps on a platform akin to TikTok.

24 – Road signs point to Kelly County, VCI Airport, and Catalan Boulevard in Stockyard Downtown. Kelly County likely represents the rural areas surrounding Vice City, similar to Blaine County in GTA 5. VCI Airport seems to be the HD Universe’s updated version of the original Vice City’s Escobar Airport.

25 – In the distance, a skyscraper with a distinctive hole in its design glimmers, likely inspired by Miami’s iconic Atlantis Condominium. This building also appeared in the original Vice City, adding a nostalgic touch.

26 – This vibrant area, filled with street art and stylish cars, could be GTA 6’s take on Miami’s Wynwood neighborhood. Known for its colorful murals and eclectic vibe, Wynwood is a hub for art and culture, and Rockstar seems to have captured its essence perfectly.

27 – The vehicles here hint at extensive customization options, with features like oversized rims, lowered suspensions, and eye-catching paint jobs. It looks like players will have plenty of ways to personalize their rides.

28 – Among the cars is a new variant of the Nagasaki Carbon RS, a bike originally exclusive to GTA 5’s collector’s edition. While it was only available in black in GTA 5, this version sports a sleek grey and white geometric design, suggesting more customization options.

29 – No GTA game is complete without a strip club, and this one is no exception. The stage and floor are littered with dollar bills, and a sign advertises “Make it Rain Mondays.” The lack of F1 theming suggests this isn’t the Pole Position club from the original Vice City.

30 – A T-shirt featuring the band “The Dolls” lists tour locations from previous GTA games, including Liberty City, Alderney City, and the three cities from San Andreas: Los Santos, Las Venturas, and San Fierro. Vice City is also mentioned, tying the new game to the series’ rich history.

31 – In a shot of two men shaking hands, one wears a dark blue bandana styled similarly to the purple bandanas worn by the Haitians in the original Vice City. This could hint at the return of those gangs or similar factions.

32 – An overhead view of the city highlights Rockstar’s attention to detail, with the area closely resembling Miami’s Biscayne Island. Even the toll booths guarding the entrance are meticulously recreated.

33 – Further along the road, an illuminated tennis court suggests that sports-related side activities will make a comeback, offering players more ways to engage with the world.

34 – This shot is a nostalgic nod to the original Vice City, showcasing the HD Universe’s version of the iconic boardwalk. The Ocean View Hotel, Tommy Vercetti’s first safehouse, is prominently featured, complete with the retro yellow and white Oceanic car parked outside.

35 – Adjacent to the Ocean View is the Boardwalk Hotel, inspired by Miami’s real-life Colony Hotel, adding another layer of authenticity to the game’s setting.

36 – Flags for Peru and Haiti hang from the Hotel Dixon, reflecting the Central and South American influences that have shaped Vice City’s culture.

37 – Parked outside the hotels are several of GTA’s iconic hypercars. The white Cheetah, inspired by the 1980s Ferrari Testarossa, stands out, alongside a blue Pfister Comet and a red Carbonizzare. Other vehicles resembling a Dodge Charger and Corvette C8 are also visible, showcasing the game’s diverse car roster.

38 – On the sidewalk, a beggar with an iguana on his shoulder offers a glimpse of the quirky characters players will encounter, adding to the game’s vibrant and unpredictable world.

39 – Nightclubs have always been a staple of GTA, and this one is no exception. Given the importance of club ownership in the original Vice City and GTA Online, it’s possible players will be able to buy and manage this venue.

40 – An aerial shot reveals the Florida Keys, emphasizing the game’s expansive map that extends far beyond the city limits. This suggests a world filled with diverse environments and activities.

41 – To the right, a bridge appears either abandoned or under construction. Regardless of its state, it’s almost guaranteed to become a hotspot for daring car stunts, a hallmark of the GTA series.

42 – At the top of the screen, a blimp floats by, modeled after the real-life Fat Albert Blimp. Since 1978, this blimp has patrolled the Florida Keys to combat drug smuggling, adding a touch of realism to the game’s world.

43 – The scene shifts to a rooftop party, showcasing Rockstar’s advanced hair physics. The character’s hair flows naturally over her shoulders, demonstrating the game’s graphical prowess. While it’s unclear if this is Lucia, her appearance could easily be altered with a visit to a salon.

44 – If this is Lucia, she’s clearly come into some wealth. Her swimsuit features the SN logo of Sessanta Nove, a high-end fashion brand first introduced in GTA 5, hinting at her upgraded lifestyle.

45 – Vice City now boasts its own Hollywood-style sign, positioned to greet visitors. In the background, the air traffic control tower of VCI Airport is visible, further emphasizing the city’s scale and detail.

46 – Social media plays a prominent role in the trailer, though its integration into gameplay remains unclear. Rockstar seems to be satirizing influencer culture and online behavior. One clip features an account called “Dad Bod Squad,” mocking the concept of sugar daddies with an older man surrounded by younger women.

47 – The gold-rimmed “follow button” suggests the post was uploaded to Snapmatic, GTA’s parody of Instagram, which featured gold branding in GTA 5.

48 – A post from POACH (Protection of Animals and Controlled Huntings) highlights the challenges posed by Florida’s wildlife, even in urban areas. This scene, like others in the trailer, mirrors real-life events, adding a layer of authenticity.

49 – Car culture is a central theme in GTA 6, as seen in this dual-perspective shot of a car meet-up. An aerial view captures a car performing donuts, while a social media clip shows women dancing on a car’s roof, reflecting the vibrant car scene.

50 – Security footage from a gas station reveals an alligator wandering where it shouldn’t be. The interior of the store is meticulously detailed, with stocked shelves, a bakery display, and a lottery ticket counter, showcasing Rockstar’s commitment to realism.

51 – Body cam footage shows undercover police raiding an apartment. A “Beware of the Dog” sign features a dog resembling GTA 5’s beloved Chop, adding a nostalgic touch for long-time fans.

52/53 – Arrow Gasoline, a brand from GTA Online, makes a return. However, the standout feature in this shot is the dynamic weather. Florida’s unpredictable climate, with sudden shifts from sunshine to storms, is vividly depicted in the brewing clouds.

54 – The social media account “PlanetLeonidaMan” posts a clip referencing the infamous “Florida Man” meme. Leonida is GTA’s version of Florida, and the post humorously captures the state’s reputation for bizarre behavior, like a mostly naked man fleeing from police.

55 – The pursuing officer belongs to the Leonard County Sheriff Department, as indicated by the patrol car. With Kelly County also mentioned earlier, it seems GTA 6’s map will span multiple counties, expanding the game’s scope beyond Vice City.

56 – Another clip, posted by GeneralCustardCannon, continues the Leonida Man theme, joking that “Only in Leonida is a crotch grab an apology for bad driving.” The act is caught on camera, destined to go viral on Snapmatic or GTA’s version of TikTok.

57 – A police billboard in the background humorously states that someone is “wanted for panty sniffing,” highlighting the absurdity of Vice City’s criminal underworld.

58 – The suspect’s shirt reads, “We Bite Back in Leonida,” another nod to the state’s infamous alligator encounters. It’s a playful reminder of the dangers lurking in the game’s world.

59 – Road signs point to VCI Airport, Kelly County, Port VC, and the Keys, hinting at the interconnectedness of the game’s locations. A sign for Vice Beaches suggests the return of multiple beachfront areas from the original Vice City.

60 – A truck with glittery green bodywork catches the eye, with a window sticker revealing the secret: Vice Vinyl. This suggests vinyl wraps will be a major customization option, offering more vibrant colors than traditional paint. A sticker for Rideout Customs further hints at the businesses that will provide these services.

61 – The man riding on the truck wears a red bandana tied around his neck, possibly referencing the Cuban gang from the original Vice City, who sported similar bandanas. This could hint at the return of familiar factions.

62 – While it’s hard to look away from the nearly naked old man watering his garden, his character model highlights Rockstar’s attention to detail. From the sunburn on his shoulders to the wrinkles on his skin, every aspect is meticulously crafted. He’s also another nod to the infamous “Florida Man” meme.

63 – No satire of the southern states would be complete without hillbillies—or, as this social media clip from the “Mud Club” calls them, “Thrillbillies.” These characters are here for off-road racing, suggesting players might be able to join in on the muddy fun.

64 – The iconic Liberator monster truck makes an appearance, pulling into the scene. A fan in the crowd even wears a Liberator t-shirt, showing the vehicle’s popularity in the GTA universe.

65 – A clip of a woman wielding dual hammers is a direct reference to a viral real-life video of a woman from Chatsworth, Los Angeles, who went on a rampage with hammers to intimidate her neighbor. Rockstar’s knack for parodying real-world events is on full display here.

66 – The clip is labeled as a “Live” video, raising the possibility that players might be able to browse social media for livestreams to locate in-game events. Imagine racing to Hamlet to witness this hammer-wielding Karen in action.

67 – As the unfortunate man hits the ground, he clutches a bottle of Cerveza Barracho Beer, GTA’s parody of Corona. It’s a small but humorous detail that adds to the game’s satirical tone.

68 – A billboard advertises “Angstipan – America’s Favorite Dissociative,” poking fun at the U.S. pharmaceutical industry. The fine print warns that the sudden urge to think could be life-threatening, a darkly comedic jab at overmedication.

69 – A sign for a nearby mall introduces several new brands to the GTA universe, including Callus, Scala, and Alpha. These could be stores or businesses players can interact with in the game.

70 – Lucia is shown holding a wad of cash, with each dollar bill appearing to be individually rendered. This level of detail underscores Rockstar’s commitment to creating a lifelike world.

71 – Footage from Weazel News, GTA’s parody of Fox News, features a 10:34 bulletin reporting on a man flipping his car after a dine-and-dash. This suggests that in-game events might be reflected in the news, adding to the world’s immersion.

72 – Another news organization, Mega Noticias, covers a character resembling the real-life Florida Joker, a tattoo model known for his arrests. His forehead tattoo, “Impentinent,” mirrors the designs from Jared Leto’s Joker in Suicide Squad.

73 – The headline reads, “Confession written in ink (for tattoos),” explaining that his neck tattoos helped police identify him. It’s another example of Rockstar blending real-world inspiration with GTA’s signature humor.

74 – The news backdrop features a large Florida-style police badge, with text referring to Vice Dale County. This adds yet another county to the growing list of locations, hinting at a massive and diverse map.

75 – A motorbike gang makes an appearance, possibly offering a glimpse of one of the factions Lucia will interact with or work for during the game.

76 – The same 10:34 Weazel News bulletin returns, this time showing an aerial view of the bikers tearing through the streets. Previous GTA games used radio news to reflect in-game events, but GTA 6 might take it further by incorporating TV news broadcasts.

77 – A clip from High Rollerz features a man wearing a Righteous Slaughter t-shirt, referencing the Call of Duty-like game played by Michael’s son in GTA 5. The shirt’s “Blood Ops” subtitle hints at a sequel, parodying the Black Ops series.

78 – A truck with a “Sound 4 Sound” sticker in the back window is packed with vinyl and sound equipment. This could point to a new radio station in Vice City, offering fresh tunes for players to enjoy.

79 – The green car in the left lane sports a sticker reading, “Raised by Ride Out Customs,” another hint at the extensive car customization options players will have access to.

80 – A street sign points north to Waning Sands, likely another beach location on the map. This suggests the game will feature multiple coastal areas to explore.

81-86 – Lucia and her partner are seen gearing up for a heist, their faces concealed by bandanas. As they move through the store, several familiar GTA brands are visible, including eCola, Benedict Light Beer, Cerveza Barracha, Logger Beer, and Phat Chips. Pißwasser makes a return, but this time in a new alcohol-free variant called Nein.

87 – Every GTA player knows the importance of locating the nearest weapons store, and it seems Pawn & Gun will be a reliable spot for all your armory needs.

88 – According to the sign, this particular Pawn & Gun is located in Port Gellhorn. Whether this is one of many branches or if Ammunation will still dominate downtown remains to be seen.

89 – The car Lucia and her partner are driving is a Tulip, first introduced in GTA Online. It’s covered in bumper stickers, most of which are cryptic, but one stands out: “Arrest Andrew.” Fans are already speculating about Andrew’s misdeeds.

90 – The motel room scene offers the best look at Lucia and her partner, revealing a clear romantic connection. They vow to trust each other, but given Rockstar’s history of tragic betrayals, their future seems fraught with tension.

91 – While Lucia’s partner’s name remains unknown, Rockstar’s impressive hair technology is on full display as Lucia runs her hands through his chest hair. It’s a small but striking detail.

92 – The duo storms into a store, ready to rob it. Window stickers reveal it’s an Uncle Jack’s Liquor store, a familiar name to long-time GTA fans.

93 – A sign on the store door humorously states that Uncle Jack’s will not accept cash stored in underwear. It’s a quirky detail that adds to the game’s satirical tone.

94 – Another sign advertises “Dignity” for just 99 cents, a tongue-in-cheek nod to the absurdity of consumer culture.

95 – A sticker reading “Petty Forever” pays homage to Tom Petty, whose song Love is a Long Road is featured in the trailer.

96 – The choice of Love is a Long Road seems deliberate, reflecting the themes of Lucia and her partner’s journey. Their relationship is likely to face numerous challenges as the story unfolds.

97 – Released in 1989, Love is a Long Road ties back to the 1980s setting of the original Vice City. Tom Petty’s Runnin’ Down a Dream also appeared on the GTA: San Andreas soundtrack, making this a fitting callback.

98 – Finally, the trailer confirms a release window of 2025. While fans were hoping for a 2024 release, this gives Rockstar ample time to polish the game. However, delays are always a possibility, so patience will be key.

99 – Although not shown in the trailer, a press release confirms that GTA 6 will launch on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. As expected, Rockstar is prioritizing consoles first, with no mention of a PC release yet. Based on past releases, a PC version will likely follow a year later.

And that’s everything we’ve uncovered in the Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer! Did you spot anything we missed? Let us know—there’s always more to discover in the chaotic, vibrant world of GTA.
