Rockstar Games has officially confirmed the first trailer for GTA 6 – one of the most anticipated games of the decade – will launch on 5 December 2023 at 9:00 am ET. The news was announced on Twitter / X in a sunset-themed post featuring purple palm trees, and three birds flying in the distance. While only a minimalist teaser, the image has already sparked major theories – and seemingly confirmed leaked details about the upcoming game.
In mid-2022, a Bloomberg report alleged the upcoming game will be set in Vice City, the fictional version of Miami, Florida first seen in 2002’s Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. It also detailed potential inspiration in the form of Bonnie and Clyde, with the game’s leads being described as a Latina woman, and a mystery male character.
These reports were never confirmed by Rockstar Games, as the development of GTA 6 and its subject matter have been closely guarded secrets over the last few years – but recently leaked footage appeared to corroborate these details, suggesting Bloomberg‘s reporting may be accurate.

When the official GTA 6 trailer lands later in the week, we expect many of these details will be confirmed. While described as just “Trailer 1” by Rockstar – suggesting it will be the first of many, and may only be a teaser of what’s to come – we expect the game’s setting to feature, and potentially its rumoured protagonists. Beyond this, it’s unclear what Rockstar has to show.
After years of waiting, there is certainly a weight of expectation around the first trailer for GTA 6. With over 1.9 million likes on Twitter / X, the announcement post for the trailer is now one of the most-liked gaming tweets of all time. 149.3 million Twitter / X users have already viewed the post. Given that massive potential audience, Rockstar will likely aim to deliver a trailer that provides satisfaction, as well as a sense of mystery for the future.
