Gamers will have to wait longer for the highly anticipated release of ‘Grand Theft Auto VI,’ but Rockstar Games released a second trailer on May 6 with a new, definitive launch date of May 26, 2026.
Its first trailer, released December 4, 2023, broke the YouTube views record for a 24-hour debut of a non-music video with 93 million views. A year and a half later, the trailer has amassed over 250 million views.
The second trailer is up to 29 million views 7 hours after its release.
While the first trailer spent most of its 1:30 long runtime showcasing the sights and sounds of its Vice City, Leonida environment, the new trailer nearly doubles the length of the first and gives more background on the lives of main characters Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos.
GTA’s previous trailer was so popular it nearly dethroned BTS’s ‘Butter’ music video which likely had the benefit of fans wanting to play it on repeat, Forbes reported.
Here’s an update on the characters from Grand Theft Auto 6
Rockstar Games has released more artwork from the game, as well as biographies of featured characters:
Jason Duval
Jason grew up around grifters and crooks. After a stint in the Army trying to shake off his troubled teens, he found himself in the Keys doing what he knows best, working for local drug runners. Meeting Lucia could be the best or worst thing to ever happen to him. Jason knows how he’d like it to turn out but right now, it’s hard to tell.
Lucia Caminos
Lucia’s father taught her to fight as soon as she could walk. Fighting for her family landed her in the Leonida Penitentiary. Sheer luck got her out. Lucia’s learned her lesson — only smart moves from here.
More than anything, Lucia wants the good life her mom has dreamed of since their days in Liberty City — but instead of half-baked fantasies, Lucia is prepared to take matters into her own hands.
A life with Jason could be her way out. Fresh out of prison and ready to change the odds in her favor, Lucia’s committed to her plan — no matter what it takes.
Cal Hampton
Jason’s friend and a fellow associate of Brian’s, Cal feels safest hanging at home, snooping on Coast Guard comms with a few beers and some private browser tabs open. Cal is at the low tide of America and happy there. Casual paranoia loves company, but his friend Jason has bigger plans.
Boobie Ike
Boobie is a local Vice City legend — and acts like it. One of the few to transform his time in the streets into a legitimate empire spanning real estate, a strip club, and a recording studio — Boobie’s all smiles until it’s time to talk business.
Boobie might seem like he’s just out for himself, but it’s his partnership with the young aspiring music mogul Dre’Quan for Only Raw Records that he’s most invested in — now they just need a hit.
Dre’Quan Priest
Dre’Quan was always more of a hustler than a gangster. Even when he was dealing on the streets to make ends meet, breaking into music was the goal.
Now that he’s signed the Real Dimez, Dre’Quan’s days of booking acts into Boobie’s strip club might be numbered as he sets his sights on the Vice City scene.
Real Dimez
Bae-Luxe and Roxy aka Real Dimez have been friends since high school — girls with the savvy to turn their time shaking down local dealers into cold, hard cash via spicy rap tracks and a relentless social media presence.
An early hit single with local rapper DWNPLY took Real Dimez to new heights. Now, after five years and a whole lot of trouble, they’re signed to Only Raw Records, hoping lightning can strike twice.
Raul Bautista
Confidence, charm, and cunning — Raul’s a seasoned bank robber always on the hunt for talent ready to take the risks that bring the biggest rewards. Raul’s recklessness raises the stakes with every score. Sooner or later, his crew will have to double down or pull their chips from the table.
Brian Heder
Brian’s a classic drug runner from the golden age of smuggling in the Keys. Still moving product through his boat yard with his third wife, Lori, Brian’s been around long enough to let others do his dirty work.
Brian’s letting Jason live rent-free at one of his properties — so long as he helps with local shakedowns, and stops by for Lori’s sangria once in a while.
