We also saw new clips of Leonida, including the Leonida Keys, Grassrivers and Port Gellhorn. GTA 6’s huge cast of side characters was also revealed, with Rockstar fleshing out the game's criminal underworld.Alex Lee23 June 2026 10:30GTA 6's first trailer launched in 2023 While we await the launch of the third trailer for GTA 6, let’s take a stroll down memory lane and rewatch the first two. The first GTA 6 trailer, released in December 2023, introduced us all to our first protagonist – Lucia and confirmed that we would indeed be heading back to Vice City. It gave us our first glimpse at Leonida and showcased a wild Florida-inspired world, complete with TikTok-style vertical clips, alligators and crazy beach parties. Alex Lee23 June 2026 08:30What could come in the GTA 6 collector's edition and how much could it cost?We’ll find out for sure on Thursday, but GTA 5’s collector’s edition could provide some clues.At launch, the GTA 5 collector’s edition cost £119.99 in the UK. This was in 2013, when games were a lot cheaper – I wouldn’t be surprised to see it start from at least £150. As to what it could ship with? The GTA 5 collector’s edition launched with a steelbook, a blueprint map of Los Santos, a snapback cap and exclusive vehicles. Personally? I’d love a life size version of that pink flamingo.Alex Lee22 June 2026 23:30How GTA 6's release timeline has changed If it feels like we've been waiting forever for GTA 6, that's because we have.The launch of GTA 6 has been an absolute saga. Rumours of a delay first emerged in early 2024, with reports suggesting the studio was falling behind schedule. Despite repeated assurances from Take-Two boss Strauss Zelnick that the game would be worth the wait, GTA 6 has slipped twice, first to May 2026 and then again to its current 19 November release date. In February 2024, Rockstar mandated a full return to the office for its staff. While the company cited quality and security as reasons, sources told Kotaku it was also driven by mounting pressure to stay on schedule for GTA 6.At the time, Kotaku reported that while early 2025 had once been possible, the studio was now aiming for an Autumn 2025 launch – a sentiment echoed by Zelnick during earnings calls throughout the year. In December 2024, Zelnick teased the game as “extraordinary and worth waiting for,” adding that it would be “breathtaking.”That timeline was finally upended when Rockstar officially confirmed a delay, setting a new release date of 26 May 2026. But of course that release date didn’t stick either. On 6 November 2025, Rockstar punted the game’s release a full year into the future. Finally landing on a release date of 19 November. The news came amid accusations of union-busting, when Rockstar controversially fired 31 workers the studio claims had shared confidential information. Alex Lee22 June 2026 21:30Will GTA 6 come to Nintendo Switch 2?Rockstar hasn’t said anything specific about whether GTA 6 will be available on the Nintendo Switch 2, but Zelnick has previously said the Switch’s audience has broadened and that “we actually would fully expect to support Switch [2]”. This was stated before the Switch 2 had launched, and was in regards to Take-Two supporting it more generally, however, rather than for GTA 6 direct. If it does come to the Switch 2, it’ll almost certainly be well after the main launch.Alex Lee22 June 2026 19:30Will GTA 6 be cross-play compatible?While GTA 6 is officially coming to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S this Thursday, Rockstar has not yet confirmed whether cross-play will be implemented. Cross-play essentially means Xbox gamers will be able to play online with PS5 players and vice versa. A PC release hasn’t been confirmed, and there’s no mention yet of a version for PS4, Xbox One or Nintendo Switch 2. A PC version will likely come later, based on Rockstar’s usual release pattern. Alex Lee22 June 2026 17:33Who are the main characters in GTA 6?The two main protagonists are Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos. Jason is a former soldier working for local drug runners in the Keys, while Lucia has just been released from Leonida Penitentiary and is looking for a way to turn her life around.Cal Hampton is Jason’s friend and an associate of Brian Heder. He is described as living “at the low tide of America” and spends his time listening to Coast Guard communications while drinking at home. Brian Heder is a veteran drug smuggler from the Keys. He runs a boat yard with his third wife, Lori, and is allowing Jason to live rent-free at one of his properties in exchange for help with local shakedowns.Boobie Ike is described as a Vice City legend who owns a strip club, recording studio and property portfolio, while Dre’Quan Priest is said to be an aspiring music mogul who runs Only Raw Records and is focused on building his label’s reputation in the local music scene.Real Dimez is a rap duo made up of Bae-Luxe and Roxy. They are described as using their time shaking down dealers to fund their music careers and grow their social media following. They are signed to Only Raw Records. Raul Bautista is described as a seasoned bank robber who is always on the hunt for new talent.Alex Lee22 June 2026 17:03
