In brief

Rockstar has released 27 minutes of raw GTA 6 gameplay captured on PS5, showing Vice City in detail with heist scenes, chases and, above all, the two protagonists Lucia and Jason in action. No classic trailer 3, but a long adult format that shows close-up dialogue and stripped-down combat phases.

"Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look" has been online since 3:00 a.m. on Friday, following Thursday's Netflix broadcast. 26 minutes and 48 seconds — 27 minutes on the counter — entirely captured in-game on PS5, according to the publisher.

Six clips to sweep across Leonida

A minute later, six vertical clips lasting 13 to 45 seconds followed. They cover the terrain more than they tell a story: parachuting over Vice City's bay, off-road motorcycles on a dirt track, a jet ski deep in the mangroves, a shootout against a police pickup truck.

Two clips bring back the duo: Lucia walks away from a burning car, red bandana and gray hoodie, the exact outfit from the official thumbnail; elsewhere, she crosses a rooftop hand in hand with Jason.

Faces before technique

The stills pulled from the long video are close-up dialogue shots: a man with dreadlocks and gold teeth, phone in hand; a mechanic under a state flag bearing a red cross, a decal from Florida. During shooting sequences, the interface is limited to a reticle.

Not trailer 3

Since the June 18 cover art reveal, Rockstar had released nothing on GTA 6 outside of the August 6 announcement. This isn't the trailer 3 that's been expected since spring, but a long-form video, marked age-restricted on YouTube — unlike the six clips. Release date: Thursday, November 19, 2026, on PS5 and Xbox Series.
