The GTA 6 launch trailer is here. Rockstar Games released the final trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI on October 15, 2026, just over a month before the game launches on November 19.

The trailer runs for about 90 seconds and is set to music by Justice. It is the third major trailer, following Trailer 1 in December 2023 and Trailer 2 in May 2025.

What does the GTA 6 launch trailer show?

The launch trailer sets up the crime spree at the heart of the story. Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos are shown working together as their plans escalate across the state of Leonida.

The pacing is fast and energetic, cutting between the neon of Vice City, open highways and the wilder parts of the state. It feels designed to build hype rather than explain the plot, which keeps most story details under wraps.

How does it compare to the earlier trailers?

Trailer 1 introduced Lucia and the setting, and Trailer 2 gave us a much closer look at Jason, Lucia and the supporting cast. The launch trailer is shorter and more focused on momentum.

If you want a shot by shot look, our launch trailer breakdown goes deeper, and our trailer songs page covers the music across all three.

What happens next?

With the launch trailer out, the next big date is the preload on November 12. After that, the game unlocks on November 19 for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.

We do not expect another full trailer before release, though Rockstar may share shorter clips or screenshots in the final weeks. Keep an eye on our interactive map as we pin locations spotted in the footage.
