GTA VI's Launch Trailer Gives Us a New Look at Vice City

Rockstar Games has released the Grand Theft Auto VI launch trailer, returning to Jason, Lucia and the streets of Vice City. The video arrived on October 15, 2026, with the game scheduled for November 19 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.

For Re:Drawn, the city is as much a reason to look closer as its two leads. Watch the official trailer below, then explore eight official screenshots that show how much the setting changes with the light, the viewpoint and the people in the frame.

A city that changes with the light

The supplied screenshots move between a bright waterfront, a blue-lit rooftop and streets cut by the shadows of an elevated road. In one image, sunlight catches the palms above a swimming pool. In another, a Ferris wheel and illuminated buildings pick out the city against the night sky.

To our eye, that range gives Vice City its strongest visual pull. The skyline establishes the scale, while murals, overhead wires, clothes and jewellery make the closer views feel specific. There is plenty to notice before returning to the larger scene.

Jason and Lucia in the frame

The waterfront car image brings Lucia close to the viewer while keeping Jason and the towers behind her in view. The gym shot is tighter and more physical, with an outstretched arm pulling attention into the foreground. Jason's portrait behind a fence takes a different approach: the mesh crosses his face while red and blue light divides the background.

Viewed together, the images give the two leads room to feel different from one scene to the next. A relaxed moment by the water sits alongside a punch in mid-motion and a portrait under emergency lights.
