Trailer trivia

  • The trailer was released a day early after leaking on social media.
  • Its song is 'Love Is a Long Road' by Tom Petty, from the 1989 album Full Moon Fever.
  • It broke the Guinness record for the most viewed videogame trailer in 24 hours.

The first Grand Theft Auto VI trailer was published on December 5, 2023 (moved up a few hours after a leak) and confirmed years of rumors: a return to Vice City, a lead couple and an entire state called Leonida.

In 91 seconds, Rockstar set the tone of the game: excess, humor, crime and a couple bound by trust. The impact was historic, with viewing records certified by Guinness World Records.
