GTA 6 Trailer 2: Breakdown, Release Date and Every Detail
Rockstar Games released the second official GTA 6 trailer on May 6, 2025. Here is the full breakdown: Jason and Lucia's story, every location shown, the soundtrack, and what it confirmed about the game.
What Trailer 2 is
Trailer 2 is the second official trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI, released by Rockstar Games on May 6, 2025. It runs just under three minutes and is the deepest look at the game so far, focusing on Jason and Lucia as a couple pulled into a criminal conspiracy across the state of Leonida.
It arrived alongside a major update to Rockstar's official GTA VI website, which introduced the protagonists by full name, Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos, plus a supporting cast and a tour of Leonida's key regions.
The story it sets up
The trailer opens with Lucia's release from Leonida Penitentiary and frames the pair's relationship as the heart of the game. Jason wants an easy life, Lucia is fighting for a fresh start, and a scheme that promises easy money drags both into something much bigger.
The Bonnie and Clyde comparison that started with Trailer 1 is made almost explicit here: heists, getaways and quiet domestic moments sit side by side.
Every location shown
- Vice City: the neon beachfront, downtown and the strip, in the present day
- Leonida Keys: island chains, bridges and open water
- Grassrivers: wetlands and airboat country, Rockstar's take on the Everglades
- Port Gellhorn: a rougher industrial and motel strip side of the state
- Ambrosia: inland, agricultural small-town territory
- Mount Kalaga: forested ridge country in the state's north
The supporting cast
Rockstar's site update named the wider cast alongside the trailer: Cal Hampton, a conspiracy-minded friend of Jason; Boobie Ike, a Vice City legend turned businessman; Dre'Quan Priest, a music mogul in the making; the rap duo Real Dimez; Raul Bautista, a veteran bank robber; and Brian Heder, a drug runner from the Keys with ties to Jason.
The soundtrack
Trailer 2 is set to Hot Together by The Pointer Sisters, following the pattern set by Trailer 1's use of Tom Petty. The song's title doubles as a statement about the two-protagonist structure.
Why it mattered
Beyond the footage, the trailer's release confirmed the game's tone: character-driven, romantic and grounded in a full state rather than a single city. It also broke viewing records within its first day, becoming one of the most-watched game trailers ever released.
Rockstar confirmed that the footage was captured on a PlayStation 5, which set expectations for how the final game will look on console.
