All the gamers, across the world, are wholeheartedly just waiting for the GTA 6 to arrive. But all they get are delays after delays after delays. But Rockstar Games surprised everyone by casually dropping the second trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6 on a seemingly ordinary Tuesday. And as expected, the trailer went viral instantly. Everyone was talking about it, everyone was resharing it, and everyone was hyped about it as they should be. It was fully loaded with jaw-dropping visuals and chaotic Vice City vibes. But wait, there’s a lot more going on beneath the surface. If you’ve watched the trailer once or twice, you might’ve missed some major reveals. Here are five key takeaways that deserve a closer look:
SurveyA Confirmed Release Date, But It’s a Long Wait
After ages, and I am not exaggerating, Rockstar finally gave us a release date. GTA 6 will finally drop on May 26, 2026. That’s nearly 13 years after GTA 5 launched in 2013. The game will release first on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, with a PC release expected much later. While this is the first time we’ve gotten a specific date, delays have plagued GTA 6’s development, so fans are hopeful but cautious.
Major Clues About the Voice Cast
Rockstar hasn’t revealed the full cast yet, but the internet believes Dylan Rourke and Manny L Perez are voicing the main characters, Jason and Lucia. Their physical likenesses and social media activity point to involvement. More surprisingly, actor Stephen Root (of Barry and King of the Hill) is almost certainly voicing a new character named Brian Heder.
The Map Will Be Absurdly Huge
The trailer confirms that GTA 6 isn’t limited to Vice City. Players will explore a full-on fictional state called Leonida, which includes multiple towns (like Ambosia and Port Cellhorn), the Leonida Keys, vast wetlands, and the Mount Kalaga National Park. There are even hints of underwater zones and unmarked territories, suggesting this could be Rockstar’s biggest open world ever.
Visually Stunning
The visuals in the trailer are spectacular, from detailed character models to lifelike lighting and environments. Rockstar claims it was captured on a PS5, but there’s no actual gameplay shown. That said, Rockstar is known for minimal differences between cutscenes and gameplay, so that’s keeping the internet’s expectations quite high.
Hidden Details
Look closely and you’ll spot license plates from other states like Liberty City, a variety of wildlife, and even a nostalgic V-Rock t-shirt. These small details hint at returning gameplay systems like property upgrades, weapon customisation, and more interactive environments. There’s even speculation about the return of Phil Cassidy, or possibly his son, in a commercial for Ammu-Nation.
