Trailer 1

Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer 1 was released at approximately 18:00 PM (EST) on December 4, 2023 on YouTube.

The trailer was originally scheduled to be released on December 5, 2023 at 9:00 AM EST via YouTube Premiere, but was leaked online less than 16 hours beforehand. Several hours after Rockstar Games brought forward the trailer's release, X Corp's former CEO, Linda Yaccarino, quoted a post on the platform outlining the staggering difference in outreach the trailer gained via X/Twitter compared to the initial YouTube video upload, asking Rockstar Games to upload the video to X.[3] Rockstar Games published a link to the trailer on YouTube on their website and social media platforms, the following day, as originally scheduled, at 9:00 AM EST,[4][5] before uploading the video to X several hours later.[6]

The trailer amassed over 90 million video views within its first 24 hours, making it the second most viral YouTube video of all time.[7] The official Guinness World Records announced that the first trailer had broken 3 previous records for most viewed video game reveal on YouTube in 24 hours (at 90,421,491 views), most liked videogame trailer on YouTube (with 8.9 million likes in the first 24 hours) and most viewed YouTube video in 24 hours (non-music) (surpassing Mr Beast's "Every Country On Earth Fights For $250,000").[8]

It consists of 46 individual scenes, including 7 that are direct references to events in Florida, both in fiction and the real world. Many of these were captured on social media:

  • Numerous boats racing through the Catalan Bay alongside PortViceCity, a direct reference to a scene from the 2006 film Miami Vice.[9]
  • A nine-foot alligator being pulled out of a family home's swimming pool.[10]
  • An alligator strolling into a local supermarket.[11]
  • A naked man chased by police on foot past a gas station.[12]
  • A man doing gardening work almost fully nude.[13]
  • A woman twerking on the roof of a moving car.[14]
  • "Joker-inspired" man with neon green hair and tattoos arrested.[15]
  • A woman threatening the public with a hammer.[16]

Several other scenes contain depictions of typical lawless, reckless or otherwise obscure occurrences frequently reported in Florida, such as as biker gangs fleeing from local law enforcement, highway traffic incidents and street intersection takeovers. All of these are typically attributed under the Florida Man meme, itself dubbed as "Leonida Man" in-game.
