In a long-awaited announcement, Rockstar Games has officially confirmed that a trailer for the next installment of the Grand Theft Auto franchise is set to be unveiled early next month. Although the game’s title is yet to be confirmed, it is widely expected to be titled GTA VI, and it promises to bring several exciting new features to the iconic series.
One of the most significant revelations is that GTA VI will introduce the series’ first-ever female protagonist, drawing inspiration from the notorious criminal duo, Bonnie and Clyde. This marks a groundbreaking moment in the history of the franchise, expanding its horizons with a diverse and compelling lead character.
Furthermore, the game is reported to be set in a fictionalized version of Miami, reminiscent of the fan-favorite, GTA: Vice City, which was originally released in 2002. The vibrant and sun-soaked atmosphere of this iconic location is sure to provide an exciting backdrop for the game’s action and storytelling.
The anticipation for this new Grand Theft Auto title has been building for quite some time, as Grand Theft Auto V was launched a decade ago in 2013. The game has since seen multiple re-releases across various gaming platforms, including the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. The online mode for GTA V has been a remarkable success, contributing significantly to Rockstar’s ongoing success.
Rockstar Games took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to share the news with fans:
We are very excited to let you know that in early December, we will release the first trailer for the next Grand Theft Auto. We look forward to many more years of sharing these experiences with all of you.

The development of the new Grand Theft Auto game has been public knowledge since Rockstar’s official confirmation in February 2022. Last year, a significant leak of in-game footage, believed to be from GTA VI, made headlines, eventually confirmed by Rockstar. The leak was attributed to a teenager associated with the Lapsus$ hacking group, as determined by a recent London jury verdict.
Grand Theft Auto V, which celebrated its 10th anniversary recently, has achieved remarkable success, having sold more than 185 million copies since its original release on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in 2013. The announcement of the upcoming trailer has only added to the excitement among fans, as they eagerly await the next chapter in this iconic gaming series.
