GTA VI: all the news on Rockstar’s next entry in the Grand Theft Auto series – The Verge

GTA VI’s new trailer gives you one more look at Vice City

2026-10-15T11:50:31-04:00

The day is almost here, as Grand Theft Auto VI is just about a month away from finally coming out. But before that there's still one more look from Rockstar Games, which just put out a brief "launch" trailer for the game. It doesn't reveal much new, but the 90 second clip does give a good sense of the Miami-inflected vibe. It also includes a new track from electronic duo Justice, who are scoring the game. (As with past titles, GTA VI has a huge focus on music.) Rockstar says the new trailer was captured entirely on a PS5.

The trailer also includes a brief new description for the game's story, for those who haven't been following along close …

We might not have to wait 13 years for the next GTA

2026-10-14T09:46:22-04:00

Rockstar Games might not keep fans waiting as long for the next installment of Grand Theft Auto. As part of Bloomberg's expansive report on the making of GTA VI, Rockstar technical lead Phil Hooker said that the "engine, the tools and the team we've built during this project will allow us to do things more quickly."

GTA VI had a notoriously long development process. It took eight years to make, leaving a 13-year gap between this upcoming installment and GTA V.

The report points to the one-year gap between Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, which was possible because Rockstar already had the framework in place for its nex …

GTA VI will have in-game podcasts and at least six radio stations

2026-10-08T10:52:33-04:00

Music is always a major part of a Grand Theft Auto game, and Rockstar Games says GTA VI will have the series' "biggest and widest-ranging selection of in-game radio yet." There will be at least six radio stations players can listen to in vehicles or on foot, ranging from talk radio to classic rock: Cocoteo FM, Back Country Radio, AfroBank FM, The Chamber 106.6, Flash FM, and Dirty South Classics.

You can sample the stations on Rockstar's website, along with six singles from GTA VI's official soundtrack, announced earlier this month, featuring artists like Yung Lean and Travis Scott.

But there's more to listen to than music. Rockstar also …

GTA VI leaks continue with a lengthy (and very nude) gameplay video

2026-10-08T09:22:35-04:00

The GTA VI leaks keep coming - and the latest is almost as long as the game's official "extended look" on Netflix. Only instead of showing off all the various gameplay details, this one is more of an "extended look" at Jason running around Vice City naked. As Kotaku reports, GTA leaker Cyberleek, who cashed out on a memecoin and seemingly disappeared earlier this year, is back with a new 25-minute video of GTA VI gameplay.

The video suggests players will be able to play through GTA VI with their characters completely unclothed. According to Kotaku, Jason is naked throughout almost the whole video, including while on a motorbike, "at a beac …

2026-09-17T09:20:54-04:00

After teasing a music-related reveal a few days ago, Rockstar has officially announced the soundtrack for Grand Theft Auto VI. Called Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album, the soundtrack will feature 34 songs, which Rockstar describes as "brand-new, original tracks."

Yung Lean - "That's It" (feat. Future & Metro Boomin)
Travis Scott - "RHYNO" (prod. by Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo)

Nintendo isn’t scared of GTA VI

2026-09-08T13:13:51-04:00

There's never really been a game like Grand Theft Auto VI before, one that has completely altered the lineup of games around it. Everyone, it seems, is scared of going up against Grand Theft Auto VI. Everyone, that is, except for Nintendo.

The company held a 30-minute showcase this morning focused entirely on its Legend of Zelda franchise, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary. We got a title for the live-action movie, a series of orchestral concerts, and a very glittery special edition of the Switch 2. But most of the runtime was dedicated to the upcoming Switch 2 remake of Ocarina of Time. There was a new trailer and a lengthy gamepla …

The GTA VI ‘extended look’ is now streaming on YouTube

2026-08-27T21:09:23-04:00

Rockstar has officially published its "extended look" at Grand Theft Auto VI on YouTube and on its website, as promised. The in-depth preview, which "entirely" features footage captured from the PS5 version of the game, initially premiered on Netflix at 3PM ET. But because Rockstar allowed creators to post reaction videos, you've technically been able to watch the video on YouTube before the studio's official upload.

The nearly 27-minute preview largely focuses more on atmosphere, protagonists Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos, and highlighting locations in the game instead of diving deep on specific game mechanics. It feels more like slices of …

The biggest video game of all time looks like a movie

2026-08-28T07:45:53-04:00

I think I know why Rockstar Games debuted its "extended look" of Grand Theft Auto VI on Netflix instead of immediately dropping it for free on YouTube. Unlike most video game trailers, the almost 27-minute preview of GTA VI felt more like a slice of a prestige crime drama than any video game trailer that I've ever seen. To make a new game that lasts another decade or more and potentially rivals the success of its predecessor, Rockstar is clearly trying to further blur the lines between Hollywood and video games.

The line between games and movies has been getting consistently fuzzier. Look no further than this year's James Bond game, 007 Fi …

GTA VI looks just as great as we could hope for

2026-08-28T08:21:57-04:00

Netflix and Rockstar Games finally debuted their "extended look" at Grand Theft Auto VI. It showed that the new game looks to keep much of the spirit of GTA - exploration, driving, crimes, shooting, and cinematic story scenes. But everything just looks much better than previous entries, with impressive graphics, densely packed rooms, and detailed environments. The footage was captured on PS5, according to the end of the video.

A key focus of the game seems to be how protagonists Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos work together. In one scene, it appears you play as Duval as he hangs out of the window of a car that Caminos is driving so he can sho …

Rockstar finally responds to ‘heartbreaking’ GTA VI leaks

2026-08-27T15:16:04-04:00

Rockstar Games has released its first official statement following days of sustained leaks of footage from Grand Theft Auto VI, calling the period "heartbreaking for our team." Not long after Rockstar posted, another leaked video appeared, this time showing the Jason character pulling off the series' trademark move of carjacking a box Chevy-like vehicle with a "Rideout Customs" logo across the back window and trying to evade the police. At the end, the other main character of the game, Lucia, appears briefly in what looks like a cutscene.

"It would be an understatement to say that having videos of Grand Theft Auto VI gameplay leak in this w …
