Rockstar Releases 90-Second GTA VI Launch Trailer

The trailer confirms dual protagonists and a high-profile Justice-led score while Germany’s age regulator gives the game an 18+ rating highlighting graphic violence.

Overview

  • Rockstar published a 90-second launch trailer that shows Vice City, the two leads Jason and Lucia, and cinematic set pieces that cue large-scale heists.
  • The developer has set the game's release for 19 November 2026 and is now in the final five-week promotional push before launch.
  • Germany’s USK classified GTA VI as 18+ and said the game contains strongly visualized violence, frequent or positive drug depiction, and an uncritical depiction of criminal acts.
  • Music plays a central role in the new material: the trailer uses 'Flower in a Hurricane' and credits Justice as composers of the original score alongside named collaborators.
  • Real-world promotion is already visible in Miami with Vice City branding and a planned Miami Heat tie-in, a push that could intensify public and regulatory attention on the game's adult content before release.
