Gamers will have to wait a bit longer before they can get their hands on “Grand Theft Auto VI,” but Rockstar Games has just released a new trailer that reveals what’s in store for them.
The new trailer for the highly anticipated video game teases more of the story and mayhem that awaits players in “GTA 6,” which was recently delayed to May 26, 2026. It shows the dual protagonists, Jason and Lucia, and all the trouble they can cause in Leonida, the Florida-inspired state for the new game. There’s also a glimpse of Vice City, the Miami-like hotspot that was previously the setting for 2002’s “Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.”

“Jason and Lucia have always known the deck is stacked against them. 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 conspiracy stretching across the state of Leonida — forced to rely on each other more than ever if they want to make it out alive,” reads an official logline for the trailer.
It starts with a shirtless Jason working on a leaky beach house and picking up Lucia from prison — but not before robbing a store, picking up a six-pack of beer and getting a quick workout in on the beach. The two lovers are reunited and get down to business quickly. They cheers to “new beginnings,” move into a new house and start committing a litany of crimes. They rob businesses, shoot at police, steal bank vaults, ride jetskis and, of course, hit the Vice City night clubs.
“GTA 6” was originally slated to release this fall, but Rockstar Games announced last week it was getting delayed to next May.
“With every game we have released, the goal has always been to try and exceed your expectations, and ‘Grand Theft Auto VI’ is no exception,” the company said. “We hope you understand that we need this extra time to deliver at the level of quality you expect and deserve.”
