Rockstar marked the start of GTA VI preloads with a short new trailer: Lucia and Jason in a nightclub, a SWAT team, a party boat and a new face from the music scene. The game launches November 19.
Rockstar marked the start of Grand Theft Auto VI preloads with a new trailer this morning, and it’s only 30 seconds long. “Grand Theft Auto VI: Pre-Load Now” went up on Rockstar’s YouTube channel at 8:55 AM ET, and it’s packed with bits we haven’t seen before.
Rockstar’s 30-Second GTA 6 ‘Pre-Load Now’ Trailer Is Packed With Footage We Haven’t SeenThe song is “Blood In Your Eyes” by Tove Lo, which Rockstar says is on Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album. As IGN broke it down, the trailer opens with the “Plays Best on PS5” card from Sony’s marketing deal, then cuts to Lucia and Jason dancing together in a nightclub. From there it’s a racetrack where Lucia watches a driver backflip, Jason shoving someone into what looks like a shower, a party on a boat called “Ships And Giggles,” and a SWAT team rolling up to some kind of emergency. Lucia and a friend get ready for a night out, and the trailer ends on a character shouting, “Oh, it is so on now!”
The new face is music producer Dre’Quan Priest, who IGN identified from Rockstar’s character description. His line: “I mean, it’s not really my thing, you know what I’m sayin’?”
Insider Gaming says this could be the last trailer before launch, though Rockstar may still have a short one for launch day.
If you’re on Xbox, your download has been running since Monday night. The Xbox Series X|S preload opened at 7 PM ET on November 9, as we covered in our preload story. Rockstar’s message is the same on every console: pre-load now and be ready for November 19. The download needs up to 212 GB.
The trailer landed alongside Rockstar’s confirmation that GTA 6 targets 30 FPS on every console, and that it will stream on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S through Xbox Cloud Gaming. We broke all of that down in our 30 FPS and cloud story. It’s also the most pre-ordered game ever on both the PlayStation Store and the Microsoft Store.
Nine days to go.
