GTA 6 fans can't believe what they're seeing

by u/PastaCheed in GTA6

The new launch trailer has been posted in the GTA 6 Subreddit and fans are in disbelief at what they've seen.

Ambitious-Kitchen696 said: "Goodness me that looks mental wow."

kev013m said: "Captured on PS5 normal, it's always crazy."

RepresentativeFit312 said: "Glad that the voice at the end is still there after all these years."

TommyJohnnyBonny said: "It's so poetic the only time the GTA 6 community correctly predicted a trailer is for the last one lol."

_2fast4u_ said: "We're in the endgame now."

GTA 6 launch trailer details

The trailer starts by showing Jason working at Brian's Marina in The Keys, finishing off a boat when he gets a phone call from Lucia.

Jason left the army but not on the best of terms, reveals a voiceover, saying they "don't give loans or anything to people like me".

The scene of Vice City and Leonida is then set with a wide shot of the city at night, a gang in a car and an incredibly detailed lizard avoiding being hit by a vehicle.

Jason and Lucia are then seen with attention turning to Jason in a number of different situations, such as wading through knee-high waters with a rifle and night vision goggles, putting on knuckle dusters, in a helicopter and about to brutally murder someone by throwing them through the propellors of an airboat.

Lucia can then be seen robbing a bank and there are intermittent scenes of Jason and Lucia getting intimate in the shower together - with Lucia's ankle tag going off. Lucia is also seen jumping onto a moving plane.

There are cop chases, workouts, explosions, a man coming face-to-face with a snake and a helicopter carrying a load that crashes through a skyscraper.

Different combat situations are shown with different weapons and it finishes with Jason and Lucia jumping multiple storeys down into a swimming pool.

The caption for the trailer said: "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 criminal conspiracy stretching across the state of Leonida - forced to rely on each other more than ever if they want to make it out alive."

The footage was captured on a PlayStation 5 console.

GTA 6 launch trailer shared by Rockstar Games

Rockstar Games has shared a 90 second launch trailer for GTA 6 with the game releasing on 19 November in just five weeks' time.

It shows brand new cinematics, gameplay and artwork and is soundtracked by a brand new track called 'Flower In a Hurricane' "from original score composers Justice feat. Tame Impala, SZA and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard".

GTA Online update sparks speculation

Rockstar Games has shared an update about GTA Online on social media.

A post said: "Halloween thrills continue in GTA Online this week.

"Play to get the Butchery and Other Hobbies T-Shirt and win 3 Races to get the Orange Glow Skeleton Onesie and GTA$100,000, plus there are discounts on otherworldly vehicles and much more."

As this post from Rockstar is quite early on in the day, speculation has been sparked there could be another official GTA 6 update today.

GTA 6 eligible for The Game Awards 2026

It's been confirmed that GTA 6 will be eligible for honours at The Game Awards 2026.

An update on The Game Awards' website said: "Games must be made commercially available to customers on or before Friday 20 November 20 2026 at 9pm PT. In the Players' Voice category, games must ship on or before 30 November 2026."

ICYMI: Lucia fully nude 'leaks' posted online

Two GTA 6 gameplay 'leaks' from the notorious Cyberleek appearing to show Lucia fully naked have been shared online but all may not be as it seems.

The first of two clips seems to show a completely nude Lucia free-roaming the open world, including parachuting and robbing an ATM.

However nobody in the world reacts to her being completely naked - so it seems as though it's a debug menu feature pulled from a cutscene model rather than something that can actually be done or NPCs have not yet been programmed to react to the build Cyberleek seems to have.

The second of those two leaks is an awkward closeup of Lucia before she then walks down the street completely naked.

Cyberleek was releasing footage if an associated memecoin reached certain values but after it crashed once more, the leaker seems to have posted footage from missions towards the end of the game and has stopped there for now.

The leaker said if Take-Two Interactive catches them, the ending will be posted through a "dead man's switch".

Cyberleek previously released videos in what they said was a protest of the game not releasing with physical copies - but the 'leaks' were also linked to a cryptocurrency and Cyberleek ran polls where people could pay to vote for what they wanted to see next.

Each video that was 'leaked' also included a mention of the memecoin throughout.

ICYMI: GTA 6 PC release date revealed

GTA 6's PC release date has been revealed, according to a new report.

GamesBeat reports "Rockstar Games plans to release the PC version of Grand Theft Auto VI within the first three months of 2027".

GTA 6 is scheduled to release on 19 November but only on PS5 and XBOX Series X/S. A PC release has not been officially confirmed.

However GamesBeat has heard about plans for the PC version from "four industry sources familiar with the studio's plans".

Rockstar has not yet commented on this.

PSA - latest 'leaks' show GTA 6 ending missions, be careful

A PSA that although Cyberleek appears to be stopping GTA 6 leaks following the crash of their memecoin, they have posted a further leak which is understood to contain missions towards the very end of GTA 6.

The leaker said if Take-Two Interactive catches them, the ending will be posted through a "dead man's switch".

In a message posted online, Cyberleek said: "CL has the ending. It was considered. It would punish Take-Two greatly - but ruin the experience for the gamers, who did nothing wrong.

"Take-Two would show CL no mercy - why should CL show any to them? Still: Take-Two was punished enough. The ending stays unpublished. Proof: the latest leek - clips from the final missions, out of context, revealing nothing.

"The dead man's switch is active - story spoilers only. Left alone, it never fires. Whoever removes CL chooses it."

Cyberleek also said they would not be uploading the build they claim to have and said: "The leeks stop here. For now."

New GTA 6 and Rockstar Games details from Bloomberg's Jason Schreier report

New details about GTA 6 and Rockstar Games have emerged in a report from Bloomberg's renowned gaming reporter Jason Schreier.

In the extensive piece, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick was left "flabbergasted" at the second delay, saying "please tell me you're kidding" before understanding once an explanation was given by Rockstar bosses.

While an exact figure was not shared on development costs, a popular rumour about GTA 6 costing more than Dubai's Burj Khalifa ($1.5bn) to make was shut down.

The 2022 leaks were described as "weirdly invasive" and it was "quite hard to deal with on an emotional level".

A vow was made that Rockstar's next game will take eight years, which is the gap between Red Dead Redemption 2 and GTA 6. Since RDR2 released in 2018, Rockstar's employment count has nearly doubled.

Two new screenshots and photos inside of Rockstar North's offices in Edinburgh were shared too.

GTA 6 blimp spotted in Miami

The GTA 6 blimp was spotted out in the wild in Miami on Tuesday (14 October).

A number of videos have been doing the rounds on social media of the Goodyear blimp flying through the air.

ICYMI: Lucia nude 'leaks' posted online

The latest two GTA 6 gameplay 'leaks' from the notorious Cyberleek appear to have been shared online but all may not be as it seems.

The first of two clips seems to show a completely nude Lucia free-roaming the open world, including parachuting and robbing an ATM.

The latest leak is an awkward closeup of Lucia before she then walks down the street completely naked.

This comes after Cyberleek appeared to show a gameplay leak of Jason free-roaming naked and Rockstar confirmed to IGN when switching characters, Jason can be seen naked in the shower.

Cyberleek is running another poll asking people what they want to see next.

The leaker previously released videos in what they said was a protest of the game not releasing with physical copies - but the 'leaks' were also linked to a cryptocurrency and Cyberleek ran polls where people could pay to vote for what they wanted to see next.

Take-Two announces next earnings call details

Take-Two Interactive, the parent company of Rockstar Games, has confirmed when its next quarterly earnings call will take place.

There will likely be official GTA 6 updates and interesting quotes from company bosses, including CEO Strauss Zelnick, during the call.

GTA 6 Miami-Dade advertising 'in peril'

Marketing of GTA 6 in the Miami-Dade county is reportedly "in peril", according to Francisco Alvarado in a report for The Miamian.

Some commissioners reportedly want to stop discussions from ongoing with Rockstar Games which could see GTA 6 advertising go up on county-owned facilities, such as Miami International Airport, and be temporarily turned into 'Vice City' destinations - like what has happened with the Kaseya Center.

The report said: "At their regular meeting earlier this week, a few county commissioners got indignantly self-righteous about Miami-Dade government getting involved in promoting a video game that leans heavily on Miami's reputation for violence, corruption and unethical behaviour."

County Commissioner Rene Garcia also reportedly said he had "done some research and at least a minimum of $150 million, [Rockstar is] spending on marketing".

This comes after commissioners voted 4-3 in favour of opening talks about GTA 6 advertising in Miami-Dade after they were involved in heated exchanges.

Those against it were worried about the depiction of violence towards police.

There was a clip that went viral of one commissioner holding up a laptop showing a clip from GTA 6: An Extended Look where Jason is shooting out police car tyres to make his point, with his argument being that he doesn't want the brand of Miami Beach to be associated with that.

One countered the advertising would happen "discreetly" on Boucher Brothers chairs and umbrellas and will not be placed on city property. It would also not be advertised at Art Basel.

Another said: "This, to me, is not about what happens in the video game because we're not going to be doing live action GTA in the city, we're not giving away pistols and cocaine to people. What this is about is people who play GTA, gamers."

However the same person unfortunately went on to refer to gaming as "nerdy".

Lucia fully nude in latest GTA 6 gameplay 'leaks'

The latest two GTA 6 gameplay 'leaks' from the notorious Cyberleek appear to have been shared online but all may not be as it seems.

The first of two clips seems to show a completely nude Lucia free-roaming the open world, including parachuting and robbing an ATM.

However nobody in the world reacts to her being completely naked - so it seems as though it's a debug menu feature pulled from a cutscene model rather than something that can actually be done or NPCs have not yet been programmed to react to the build Cyberleek seems to have.

This comes after Cyberleek appeared to show a gameplay leak of Jason free-roaming naked and Rockstar confirmed to IGN when switching characters, Jason can be seen naked in the shower.

Cyberleek is running another poll asking people what they want to see next.

GTA 6 blimp spotted in Miami

A Goodyear blimp advertising GTA 6 has gone up in Miami.

A new 'Vice City' livery was spotted on the blimp with a photo of this posted on Facebook.

Cyberleek releases another 'leak', threatens to release GTA 6 build again

Cyberleek appears to have shared another 'leak' online, appearing to show an awkward closeup on a naked Lucia.

The leaker has also once again threatened to release what they claim is a build of GTA 6 if their memecoin hits a market cap of $30 million.

However it has once again collapsed.

It's been posted online the latest message from Cyberleek appears to have said: "Every milestone hit means a new GTA 6 leek [sic] the next day. Blow past multiple levels and the leeks [sic] stack: one per day, in order, until you're caught up."

The message then appears to list different activities at different values of the cryptocurrency, going up to $30m for a "full 200GB playable build".

Cyberleek previously released videos in what they said was a protest of the game not releasing with physical copies - but the 'leaks' have also been linked to a cryptocurrency and Cyberleek ran polls where people could pay to vote for what they wanted to see next.

Each 'leaked' video includes a mention of the memecoin throughout and that still remains.

One month to go until GTA 6 can be pre-loaded

There's just one month to go until GTA 6 can be pre-loaded by those who have pre-ordered a version.

Ahead of the game's release on 19 November, GTA 6 can be pre-loaded on 12 November. Today is 12 October, marking exactly a month until the game can start to be pre-loaded.

We really are in the final stretch now...

Gamers mock Cyberleek gameplay

In the GamingLeaksAndRumours Subreddit, one Redditor posted details of what the latest 'leak' from Cyberleek appears to show - and gamers have been mocking how Cyberleek is playing the build of GTA 6 they seemingly have.

In the comments, Niels_Nakkeost said: "It's impressive how bad this Cyberleek guy is at playing the game."

MrEpicFerret said: "The nude stuff is 100 per cent a debug thing if not a single NPC has reacted to it so far, probably won't be in the final release. Also genuinely so funny how bad this dude is at the game - he can't shoot, can't drive, can't even f*****g parachute LMFAOO."

junttiana said: "Man this guy really sucks at video games. Also, it's obvious that this guy has a dev build where he can simply take off the clothes, NPCs would 100 per cent react to full nudity normally."

OutlandishnessOk6696 said: "Well if NPCs don't react I assume it's just the dev build he has. My guess is that there are naked models for Lucia and Jason but only for cutscenes."

Different-Stable-678 said: "Yo this guy just sucks at gaming full stop."

Lucia fully nude in latest GTA 6 gameplay 'leak'
