Rockstar Games has released the trailer for its highly anticipated video game- Grand Theft Auto VI, on December 5. The American video game publisher dropped the trailer hours ahead of its scheduled release due to a trailer leak on social media platforms. The official handle of Rockstar Games posted on X (formerly Twitter) confirming that the trailer has been leaked online and requesting the audience to watch the trailer on their official YouTube channel.
The GTA VI trailer confirms that the full game will be released in 2025 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and Series S. There has been no confirmation regarding the game being released on PC.
The trailer confirms the previous reports about the game being set in Vice City- a fictionalised version of Miami, similar to that used in the 2002 video game GTA: Vice City. The trailer focuses on the series' first female protagonist who goes by the name of Lucia. According to a report by Bloomberg the upcoming video game will likely feature multiple playable characters apart from the female lead.
