What happens in the GTA 6 launch trailer?
Confirmed The Launch Trailer keeps Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos at the center. Rockstar’s story description frames it as an easy score that goes wrong, pulling the pair into a criminal conspiracy that stretches across the state of Leonida, where they have to rely on each other more than ever to make it out alive.
The montage mixes bank heists, a helicopter escape, boat and highway chases, and quieter character moments between the two leads. Coverage of the trailer notes shots of Jason reflecting on his troubled past in the army and a phone call that sets up his partnership with Lucia, before the action ramps up through Leonida’s streets and waterways.

What is the song in the GTA 6 launch trailer?
Confirmed The trailer debuts “Flower in a Hurricane”, a brand new single from French electronic duo Justice, featuring Tame Impala, SZA and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard. The single was released the same day as the trailer, October 15, 2026.
The bigger news is behind the song: Rockstar confirmed that Justice are composing the original score for Grand Theft Auto 6. Their music had already appeared in the score of August’s Extended Look, but this is the studio’s formal announcement. The track also appears on Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album, the game’s official soundtrack, alongside songs from Travis Scott, Cardi B, Yung Lean, PinkPantheress, Keith Richards, Rauw Alejandro and Fuerza Regida.
The Album is available to pre-save on streaming services and to pre-order on vinyl and CD, with release set for November 19 alongside the game. Rockstar says a separate original score album will follow with further details to come. See our GTA 6 soundtrack and album guide for every track announced so far.
Was the GTA 6 launch trailer captured on PS5?
Confirmed Yes. Rockstar says the Launch Trailer footage was captured on PlayStation 5, which makes this trailer a close look at the game running on current console hardware rather than a cinematic rendered outside the game. Reporting on the trailer notes PS5 branding around the presentation.
The trailer does not change the platform plan: GTA 6 is still confirmed for simultaneous launch on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. What has not changed either is the PC situation, which Rockstar has still not dated. Our GTA 6 PC release date post tracks the latest reports.
