- Rockstar Games has released a new Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer
- It reveals the game’s cover art
- We also now know the pre-order date
Rockstar Games has released a new Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer, but it might not be the kind you might have expected.
Instead of showing us new GTA 6 gameplay, the trailer gives us our first look at the game’s official cover art, and in my eyes, it’s pretty clever. The design follows the same general style as Grand Theft Auto 5 cover, with lots of small panels containing character vignettes.
It features dual protagonists Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos in a prominent position, surrounded by iconography inspired by the Vice City setting and traditional GTA staples. Of course, there are plenty of guns along with Florida animals such as a flamingo and an alligator.
You can see the cover for yourself in the trailer below.
Look at
The cover art doesn’t exactly break any series conventions, but in my opinion it looks pretty good. I feel like the pink and purple hues really capture the almost tropical Vice City vibes. It looks pleasantly retro, but also suitably modern and sleek.
Are you a fan of the newly revealed cover? You can share your thoughts in the poll below.
If you’re a big fan of the look, Rockstar Games has already posted a high-res version of the graphic on its website for you to download to use as your desktop or phone wallpaper.
The website also offers a square version of the cover art, which may provide our first look at what the game’s icon will look like on the PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X and Series S menus.
The trailer, which lasts just over 30 seconds, ends with an official pre-order date. We now know they’ll launch on June 25, 2026 “on digital storefronts and at other select retailers.”
Unfortunately, there’s no sign of a price anywhere, so it looks like we won’t learn that information until pre-orders officially begin next week.
The revelation comes just days after Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick once again confirmed it GTA 6 will be released on November 19, 2026. He said the wait has been so long because the team at Rockstar is “looking to do something that’s never been done before.”
Speaking to CNBC’s Jim Cramer earlier this year, Zelnick confirmed that there will be “marketing beats this summer” to promote GTA 6. “We don’t spend money on marketing until we’re pretty close to being released,” he said at the time.
This cover art reveal presumably signals the start of the final marketing push as we get closer to release, so I’ll keep your eyes peeled for additional trailers and news soon.
