More from GTA VI: all the news on Rockstar’s next entry in the Grand Theft Auto series
With GTA VI expected to launch in 2025, it’s time to back up all your old car chase vids. Rockstar Editor on GTA Online will no longer support PlayStation 4 and Xbox One beginning on February 24, Rockstar Games announced. The clip editor will still exist for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X.
Any existing clips will vanish by then, so players should make sure to export their work in the meantime.
The reveal of GTA VI was always going to be a moment. The events preceding the game’s initial reveal were, itself, a moment when the trailer got leaked, forcing Rockstar to release it earlier than intended.
In the 48-ish hours since then, the debut trailer for GTA VI has already eclipsed the first trailer of its predecessor, amassing more views in that short time than the GTA V trailer could get in 10 years.
Damn.
I expected nothing less, even though the actual trailer is only 90 seconds long. The trailer looks great, and good news: Digital Foundry is “inclined to believe” that the footage “is representative of the actual game,” Digital Foundry’s Richard Leadbetter writes in a written analysis.
Despite Rockstar releasing the GTA VI trailer early following a leak, it still managed to rake in 72 million views and counting. PC Gamer points out this makes it the most-viewed non-music video on YouTube in the 24 hours following its release — a record previously held by MrBeast.
It’s also getting close to dethroning BTS’s “Dynamite” music video, which currently holds the record for getting the most views on all of YouTube in 24 hours.
According to Rockstar’s press release for the just-released Grand Theft Auto VI trailer, the game will launch on PS5 and Xbox Series X / S in 2025 — PC isn’t a listed platform.
Unfortunately, the absence of PC isn’t too surprising, given that the PC version of GTA V was released more than a year and a half after the game first came out on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Seems like we might be waiting awhile for GTA VI on PC, too.
The first GTA VI trailer is here
We knew the time, and now we know the place. Rockstar Games has published the YouTube link where it will premiere Trailer 1 for the next Grand Theft Auto game on Tuesday, December 5th, at 9AM ET. Wario64 notes that the clip should be 91 seconds long.
We knew it was coming. Then Rockstar confirmed it was coming. Now it’s telling us exactly when — Tuesday, December 5th at 9 AM Eastern.
You know, it.
The GTA VI trailer.
Though a short blog post with just an image and the date and time information doesn’t seem like the most exciting of teases, it is in line with Rockstar’s penchant for understated announcement schemes.
