Trailer trivia
- The trailer was released a day early after leaking on social media.
- Its song is 'Love Is a Long Road' by Tom Petty, from the 1989 album Full Moon Fever.
- It broke the Guinness record for the most viewed videogame trailer in 24 hours.
The first Grand Theft Auto VI trailer was published on December 5, 2023 (moved up a few hours after a leak) and confirmed years of rumors: a return to Vice City, a lead couple and an entire state called Leonida.
In 91 seconds, Rockstar set the tone of the game: excess, humor, crime and a couple bound by trust. The impact was historic, with viewing records certified by Guinness World Records.
