    The much-anticipated GTA VI trailer was set to make its grand entrance on Tuesday, December 5th at 9AM ET. But, before that could happen, someone leaked it on X (formerly Twitter). However, Rockstar wasted no time and swooped in, dropping the trailer on their official YouTube channel.

    The trailer gives us a taste of Vice City and surrounding areas, embracing that Miami vibe we all love. Expect neon-soaked streets, flashy cars, and a mix of glamour and grit that define the Grand Theft Auto experience. Plus, it looks like we'll be in for a treat with two protagonists this time around: a criminal duo named Lucia and Jason, giving us major "Bonnie & Clyde" vibes. We're not sure if we'll get to play as both characters, but they're definitely taking center stage.

    The trailer also teases a social media twist, with Instagram and TikTok-style posts, hinting at some cool new gameplay possibilities. And of course, it wouldn't be GTA without a bunch of cool cars, party scenes, and a dash of mischief mixed in. Classic GTA, right?

    What about the music? The trailer features "Love Is a Long Road" by Tom Petty, setting the perfect tone for the Vice City experience. The song's ties to Florida make it an even more fitting choice for the game.

    Now, here's the big news: Grand Theft Auto 6 is set to hit the scene in 2025, but the big question is, will it be coming to PC at the same time as consoles? Rockstar hasn't given us the scoop on that just yet.

    While the trailer indicates a release in 2025 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, no mention of a PC version has been made. Considering Rockstar's track record with release schedules, it's still unclear whether the PC version will launch alongside the console versions or come later.

    The trailer's release has got everyone buzzing about the return to Vice City and the exciting new possibilities in GTA 6. This is just the beginning, and we can't wait to dive deeper into the game as more details roll in.
