THE first official trailer of the highly-anticipated Grand Theft Auto VI has been released after a leak of it appeared on social media.
Publishers Rockstar unveiled the teaser on YouTube at midnight, around a day earlier than expected.
It has already racked up tens of millions of views since going live, with the games company posting on Twitter/X: “Our trailer has leaked so please watch the real thing on YouTube.”
Fans have waited almost a decade for the announcement following the success of GTA V – which became the second-best-selling video game of all time behind Minecraft.
It was released in 2013 to critical acclaim.
The series has been developed by Rockstar North which was first founded in Dundee and is now headquartered in Edinburgh.
The trailer for the sixth game features the Miami-inspired Vice City – the same setting as the famous 2002 game.
It confirms the GTA series first female protagonist, Lucia, who is accompanied by an unknown male partner.

Fans will still have to wait some time before they can get their hands on the game though with publishers saying it is “coming 2025”.
It is expected to be released on PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
