Rockstar Games has finally released the GTA 6 Trailer 2, showcasing breathtaking PS5 graphics and diving deep into the story of dual protagonists Jason and Lucia. Here’s everything you need to know.
Rockstar Games has taken fans by surprise with the unexpected release of Grand Theft Auto 6 Trailer 2, delivering a cinematic look at the long-awaited open-world crime epic. Coming more than a year after the debut trailer, this new footage not only showcases the jaw-dropping PS5 visuals but also dives deep into the game’s story, characters, and setting.
The trailer reveals Lucia Caminos and Jason Duval as the game’s dual protagonists, confirming long-swirling rumors. It opens with Jason living a seemingly mundane life while Lucia is incarcerated. We see him working on his house, interacting with a friend named Brian, committing a robbery, and eventually picking up Lucia upon her release. From there, things escalate quickly, as the pair fall back into a criminal lifestyle, launching a crime spree that lands them in the crosshairs of law enforcement and a broader conspiracy.
According to the trailer’s official description, “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 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 setting of Leonida, Rockstar’s fictional take on Florida, includes a return to Vice City, the iconic location last seen in GTA: Vice City. This new rendition looks more detailed and expansive than ever, brought to life through stunning next-gen graphics captured entirely on PS5 hardware, notably not on the rumored PS5 Pro. Rockstar has long been known for building immersive open worlds, but the visuals here, full of lush landscapes, neon cityscapes, and high-octane action sequences, suggest GTA 6 could set a new benchmark for the genre.
The trailer also hints at the emotional core of the story: Jason and Lucia’s relationship. While not much is explicitly revealed, their romantic bond seems central to the plot, drawing comparisons to iconic criminal couples like Bonnie and Clyde. Interestingly, the game’s newly announced release date of May 26, 2026, aligns with the anniversary of Bonnie Parker’s death, a subtle nod that may not be coincidental.
This release date does come as a delay, pushing the game from its original 2025 window. Rockstar addressed the delay in a statement, thanking fans for their patience and reaffirming their commitment to exceeding expectations. “We hope you understand that we need this extra time to deliver at the level of quality you expect and deserve,” the studio said.
Packed with action, explosions, shootouts, and the confirmed return of Ammu-Nation, GTA 6 Trailer 2 offers a thrilling glimpse into what might be Rockstar’s most ambitious title yet. With over a year to go before release, fans have plenty to speculate on and even more to look forward to.
