Rockstar releases Grand Theft Auto VI “Launch Trailer” 35 days before release
New official video was published on October 15 and is titled Launch Trailer, marking the final phase of the game's marketing campaign.

Rockstar Games published the “Grand Theft Auto VI Launch Trailer” on YouTube on October 15. The promotional video is for Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA VI), the company’s new action game. The video was released 35 days before the game’s debut, scheduled for November 19, 2026.
Rockstar Games itself identifies the new video by the title “Grand Theft Auto VI Launch Trailer,” as displayed on the official page. The name sets it apart from promotional videos officially identified by number, such as “Trailer 1” and “Trailer 2.”
The video is not officially called “Trailer 3.” Some fans informally used the expression before the video’s release to refer to a possible third numbered trailer.
Rockstar had named the first two videos “Trailer 1” and “Trailer 2,” a distinction that helps separate those materials from the new Launch Trailer.
The launch trailer follows the start of preorders, the period when the game can be purchased before its release, which began in June. Take-Two Interactive, Rockstar’s parent company, continues to list the initial release of GTA VI for Sony’s PlayStation 5 (PS5) and Microsoft’s Xbox Series X|S consoles.
Grand Theft Auto VI is Rockstar Games’ next title, set in the fictional state of Leonida, which includes the fictional city of Vice City. The game will be released on November 19, 2026, for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
