Summary
Fans have compared images from theGrand Theft Auto 6trailer to real-life locations and are in awe of the accuracy with which Rockstar has recreated some of them. This comes shortly afterRockstar released theGTA 6trailer a day earlydue to an unfortunate leak.
Gamers had been eagerly waiting for some official information about the next title in theGrand Theft Autoseries for years, and theGTA 6trailer managed to live up to many fans' expectations. Despite releasing ahead of schedule, theGTA 6trailer has garnered over 88 million views on YouTube, setting a new milestone for Rockstar. While not a lot of information was revealed about the game, players have already started deconstructing the trailer for any details they can find about the game’s story, its protagonists, or the new features it could introduce. While doing so, fans managed to compare the locations shown in the trailer to their real-life counterparts, and they were pleasantly surprised by the resemblance between the two.
Grand Theft Auto 6marks the franchise’s return to Vice City, around 21 years after the launch ofGTA: Vice City. According to a post by user booxtab8 on the Rockstar subreddit, the coastal metropolis shown in theGTA 6trailer bears a striking resemblance to Miami, and the locations shown in the trailer are proof of the same. The game’s map might not be an exact replica of Miami, but the recreation of Miami Beach, the neon-lit hotels on the beachfront, the city’s skyscrapers, and several other locations are quite accurate. Furthermore, the trailer also includes an aerial shot of a road passing through the ocean, which takes after the road leading up to Key West, Florida in real life.
Aside from this, theGTA 6trailer also showcased the game’s female protagonist, Lucia. This is in line with severalleaks that already confirmed thatGTA 6will feature a female protagonist, which also mentioned that the male protagonist will be called Jason. Some leaks also mentioned thatGTA 6could have a story inspired by Bonnie and Clyde, which now looks likely considering Jason and Lucia are also shown to be a couple towards the end of the trailer. However, it is too early to draw any conclusions considering Rockstar is targeting a 2025 release forGTA 6.
The timing of the trailer release is also interesting asThe Game Awardsis scheduled for July 18, 2025. This has fans wondering if Rockstar has an additional surprise in store for them, and could showcase some more information regardingGTA 6at The Game Awards ceremony.
