New York, NY – December 5, 2023: After a decade of eager anticipation, Rockstar Games, the creators of the iconic Grand Theft Auto (GTA) series, unveiled the official trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA VI) on Tuesday. The revelation came sooner than planned due to a leak on the social media platform X, previously known as Twitter. Despite the unexpected release, the trailer quickly gained immense traction, amassing over 23 million views on YouTube within its initial hours.
The trailer, showcasing the much-anticipated sixth installment of the series, introduces players to Lucia, a formidable female protagonist embroiled in a crime spree. Lucia and her partner navigate through a dynamic landscape that includes bustling beaches, city highways, and vibrant clubs, evoking a Bonnie-and-Clyde dynamic. The narrative unfolds with the duo engaging in daring heists against the backdrop of Vice City, providing a glimpse into the high-stakes world of GTA VI.
Rockstar Games acknowledged the untimely leak in a post on X, urging fans to watch the official trailer. “Our trailer has leaked, so please watch the real thing,” the company shared on the social media platform.
This early unveiling follows a decade-long wait since the last installment, highlighting the anticipation surrounding the release. The unexpected leak, however, prompted Rockstar Games to adjust its schedule, moving up the release of the trailer by a day.
The parent company of Rockstar Games, Take-Two Interactive, has grappled with leaks in the past. In 2022, the gaming community was rocked when hackers exposed unreleased footage from GTA VI, including authentic screenshots and gameplay videos. At the time, Rockstar Games acknowledged the breach, attributing it to a “network intrusion” that allowed an unauthorized third party to access and download confidential information.
In an official press release, Rockstar Games confirmed that Grand Theft Auto VI is set to launch in 2025, with availability on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and Series S. The announcement marks a significant milestone for gamers eagerly awaiting the next chapter in the acclaimed franchise. As the excitement builds, fans can only speculate about the immersive experience and innovative gameplay that GTA VI promises to deliver when it finally hits the gaming consoles in 2025.
