How many leads are there?
Two, and Rockstar has said so plainly.
Confirmed Take-Two Interactive press release /
Confirmed 6 May 2025 Largest body of official material
One day in May 2025
Almost everything this site grades as confirmed about the setting and the cast comes from one day. Trailer 2 named the two protagonists, six supporting characters and five places in Leonida — and it identified no vehicle, no radio station and no map size.
That makes a careful reading of it worth more than another summary, including a clear account of where the evidence stops. The gap between what Rockstar published and what people say Trailer 2 showed is wide.

01The drop
Field by field, what 6 May 2025 put on the record
Trailer 2 landed four days after Rockstar delayed the game for the first time. The sequence matters: the trailer was the answer to a delay, and it came with the largest single release of official material this game has had.
| State | Claim | Source and date |
|---|---|---|
| Confirmed | Trailer 2 was released on 6 May 2025, four days after the first delay. | GTABase |
| Confirmed | Rockstar states Trailer 2 was captured entirely in-game on PlayStation 5. | GTABase (quoting Rockstar's trailer notes) |
| Confirmed | Trailer 2 used "Hot Together" by The Pointer Sisters. | GTABase |
| Confirmed | Rockstar published around 70 screenshots and new character and location pages alongside Trailer 2. | GTABase |
| Confirmed | Rockstar says Trailer 2 drew over 475 million views across all platforms in 24 hours. | TechRadar (reporting Rockstar's claim) |
| Confirmed | Rockstar's official premise: an easy score goes wrong and the pair are caught in a conspiracy stretching across the state of Leonida. | Rockstar Games synopsis published with Trailer 2 (via GTABase) |
| Confirmed | Lucia's full name is Lucia Caminos. | Rockstar Games material published with Trailer 2 (via GTABase) |
| Confirmed | Jason's full name is Jason Duval. | Rockstar Games material published with Trailer 2 (via GTABase) |
| Confirmed | Rockstar has named six supporting characters: Cal Hampton, Boobie Ike, Dre'Quan Priest, the rap duo Real Dimez (Bae-Luxe and Roxy), Raul Bautista and Brian Heder. | Rockstar Games character bios published with Trailer 2 (via GTABase) |

Stated in first-party material, or shown in official footage. Two attributable sources where possible. Nothing reliable exists. Stated plainly rather than filled with speculation.
The last two rows are the point of the table. The biggest material release this game has had still left the soundtrack and the map size blank, and both are printed as blanks rather than left out.
02Places
Names published, not places shown
Rockstar published location pages with the trailer, and they are the reason five place names are quotable at all. Read the table as a list of officially named places, not as a shot list: nothing in our source material maps a particular shot in the video to a particular name, and this page will not do that mapping on Rockstar's behalf.
| State | Claim | Source and date |
|---|---|---|
| Confirmed | Vice City returns as the game's principal city. | Rockstar Games Trailer 1 |
| Confirmed | Leonida Keys is an officially named location, described by Rockstar as a tropical archipelago. | Rockstar Games material published with Trailer 2 (via GTABase) |
| Confirmed | Grassrivers is an officially named location, described as a primordial wetland expanse. | Rockstar Games material published with Trailer 2 (via GTABase) |
| Confirmed | Port Gellhorn is an officially named location, described as Leonida's forgotten coast. | Rockstar Games material published with Trailer 2 (via GTABase) |
| Confirmed | Ambrosia is an officially named location, described as the heart of Leonida. | Rockstar Games material published with Trailer 2 (via GTABase) |
| Confirmed | Mount Kalaga National Park is an officially named location. | Rockstar Games material published with Trailer 2 (via GTABase) |
| Confirmed | The game is set in the fictional US state of Leonida. | PlayStation.Blog (Rockstar-authored) |
Stated in first-party material, or shown in official footage. Two attributable sources where possible. Nothing reliable exists. Stated plainly rather than filled with speculation.
Five of these were named in the location pages published with Trailer 2. Vice City was established by Trailer 1 and the state by a later Rockstar-authored post — the source column says which is which. No district, street or landmark beyond these has been named in first-party material. The full set is on the Leonida page, and the city itself on the Vice City page
03The cast
Characters, named and unnamed
The trailer material named both protagonists in full, gave them short official biographies, and named six supporting characters. That is the entire officially named cast of this game. Who plays them is not part of it.
Is that a first for the series?
Yes. Lucia is the first female lead in a mainline GTA.
Verifiable against the series' own history; no previous mainline entry had a non-optional female lead.
Confirmed Wikipedia (Grand Theft Auto VI) /
What is Lucia's story?
Rockstar’s bio has her serving time at Leonida Penitentiary.
Confirmed Wikipedia (Grand Theft Auto VI), summarising Rockstar's official bios /
What is Jason's story?
Rockstar’s bio has him running with drug runners in the Keys.
Confirmed Wikipedia (Grand Theft Auto VI), summarising Rockstar's official bios /
What about the name that circulates?
A fan attribution built on resemblance.
Neither Rockstar nor Perez has confirmed it. A parallel fan attribution names Dylan Rourke as Jason; that one is weaker still.
Rumoured PCGamesN /
Who voices them?
Who plays these characters is not part of what the trailer material established. No voice actor has been named by Rockstar for any character, and the names attached to the two leads online are fan attributions built on resemblance and interview hints.
Fuller profiles are on the Lucia Caminos page and the Jason Duval page
04Vehicles
Not known
Cars are the most confidently reported and least supported part of every Trailer 2 breakdown on the web. Vehicles appear in the footage. What they are has never been stated.
Vehicles named for the trailernone
Vehicles named anywhereas Ultimate Edition contents
And that was
What is that car?
The material published with the trailer covers characters and locations. It contains no vehicle list. Every model name attached to a trailer shot comes from viewers matching silhouettes against earlier games, and a silhouette is not an identification.
The four shapes below were drawn for this site with no manufacturer's name between them, which is the point the section is making.
Has Rockstar named any vehicle at all?
Only as Ultimate Edition contents. Never as a trailer identification.
Named items include a '95 Grotti Cheetah, a '67 Vapid Dominator Buggy, a Shitzu Squalo boat and Hawk & Little Morgan revolvers. Rockstar has not published a single canonical count of items.
Confirmed Kotaku (reporting Rockstar's edition page) /
Note what that claim is and is not. Those are the only vehicles Rockstar has ever named for this game, and they were itemised as edition contents more than a year after the trailer, not as identifications of anything on screen in it. Treat any list of "confirmed GTA 6 cars" drawn from trailer frames as a list of guesses, however plausible the silhouettes look. What is actually established is on the vehicles page
05Music
A song in a trailer is not a radio station
Both trailers used a licensed track — does that establish anything?
Only that two songs were licensed for two adverts.
The track's Spotify streams rose sharply afterwards.
Confirmed Wikipedia (Grand Theft Auto VI) /
Trailer 2's own track sits under the same caveat, and it is in the table at the top of this page: no radio station, no lineup and no licensed in-game track has been announced. The full position is on the soundtrack page
06Mechanics
Also not known
Here is the sentence most Trailer 2 coverage skips. Rockstar's own note says the trailer was captured in-game on PlayStation 5 — and in-game is not gameplay. It is a cinematic cut from the game's engine, not a demonstration of playing it, so a mechanic cannot be established by pointing at a shot of one.
How long is it, and how do you switch?
Nothing about how the game is played has been described in first-party material: not mission structure, not how the two protagonists are switched between, not how long any of it is.
Is there anything pointing at gameplay?
One clause, in an earnings call, about a showing that has not aired.
This is the closest thing to a first-party statement that the showing contains gameplay.
Confirmed Take-Two Q1 FY2027 earnings call transcript (The Motley Fool) /
That is why the Extended Look on 27 August 2026 matters. It is the only first-party language pointing at gameplay anywhere — and it points at a showing that has not happened. Nothing Rockstar has already released has been presented by Rockstar as gameplay.
07Overreach
Readings the footage does not support
Three claims are routinely presented as things Trailer 2 established, and none of them is. A fourth — that an online mode ships alongside the game — is not merely unsettled but contradicted by Rockstar's own product copy, and it is kept, struck through, on the correction register
| State | Claim | Source and date |
|---|---|---|
| Rumoured | The widely repeated figure of "700+ enterable buildings" has no first-party source. | Circulated by fan and aggregator sites |
| Rumoured | Retailer listings and leaks pointing to a 60fps performance mode are unverified, and technical analysts are sceptical. | Notebookcheck (citing Digital Foundry analysis) |
| Rumoured | Leonida is understood to be modelled on Florida, but Rockstar has never said so. | Wikipedia (Grand Theft Auto VI) |
Stated in first-party material, or shown in official footage. Two attributable sources where possible. Nothing reliable exists. Stated plainly rather than filled with speculation.
The pattern is the same in each case: a trailer is a small, edited, deliberately assembled piece of marketing, and a viewer counting doors or measuring a coastline in it is producing an estimate, not a source. Where a first-party statement exists it is graded confirmed and cited. Where one does not, the honest entry is a blank — and on this game there are still a great many of them. The standing list is what we accept as a source; everything currently unresolved is kept on the ledger
