GTA 6 Trailer 2 Review – Rockstar Proves Why They’re Legends Again
After a long silence, the second trailer for GTA 6 is here. Rockstar Games released the second official video on May 6, 2025, and it got all corners of the gaming world talking. We’ve been waiting for this for a whole decade, and it must be said — they didn’t disappoint us.
Let’s take a look at what GTA VI promises, how the game will look on the next-generation consoles, what to expect on PC, how much it will cost, and most importantly — is it worth the enthusiasm that accompanies the game.
GTA 6 Trailer 2 – What did we see?
What was most noticeable in the second trailer:
A new level of detail – the city is full of life. Traffic, people, animals, videos on social media, police raids — as if you were walking on the streets of a real city.
Interactions – More focus on dialogue and relationships between characters.
Florida atmosphere – swamps, alligators, sunsets – everything has a “True Detective meets Miami Vice” vibe.
TikTok-style show – Rockstar is imitating the influence of social media on the modern criminal world.
Graphics and technical side – Welcome to Next-Gen
GTA VI on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S is simply a blast visually. Rockstar is clearly taking full advantage of the new generation. High detail, realistic lighting, dynamic weather and time cycles make the game come alive.
Ray tracing? Probably 100%. According to sources, GTA 6 is already designed on RT technology, which means realistic shadows and reflective surfaces.
Story and characters: A modern version of Bonnie and Clyde
The main characters of GTA 6 are Lucia and Jason. Lucia is the first female protagonist in the history of GTA, which is a rather new and enjoyable direction for the game. In the trailer, we see her breaking out of prison and embarking on a criminal adventure with her partner Jason — a direct parallel to Bonnie and Clyde.
The game takes place in Leonidas — a fictional state based on Florida. The main city is Vice City — our old friend Miami-style environment, full of nightclubs, skate parks, criminal gangs and a population obsessed with social media.
Setting and atmosphere: Leonidas — a fictional reflection of Florida
The game takes place in Leonidas, which is a fictional reflection of Florida. Vice City, which is similar to Miami, is the main city in the game. In addition, various locations are presented, such as islands, swamps and mountains, which gives the game variety.
