Here is the Grand Theft Auto VI Extended Look!
If for, whatever reason, this is the first time you’re hearing about or seeing this GTA6 Extended Look, you’re a saint for paying such close attention to my blog. How nice of you. Basically, for GTA6, we’ve had two trailers more than a year ago. And now Rockstar Games has released a half-hour long gameplay showcase. It started out on Netflix, and then came to YouTube last night. It’s gorgeous.
Also, just click through to watch it on YouTube if that’s what the prompt says.
Look, I’m already incredibly hyped for GTA6. I’ve played and loved all mainstream GTA games, all the way back to GTA1. I was there. I played GTA2 like my life depended on it. I bought GTA3 months before I was able to save up enough money to buy a Playstation 4 back in college because I was so excited. I’m hoping I live long enough to play GTA7. So I’ve got GTA gaming in my blood.
I think this looks great. I have zero complaints. I’ll be pre-ordering the $100 version of the game because I can afford an extra $20 if it means more of the game to enjoy. I have zero problem with locking some cosmetics behind a Deluxe Edition. Games have been doing that for ages. I love the idea that, instead of just dumping the bonus goodies in your inventory at the start of the game, Rockstar went to the trouble of inserting them naturally in the game world. I don’t care that video games are going disc-less. I dropped discs ages ago and I’ll probably be too old to care when digital-only comes back to bite us all in the butt.
I just want my GTA6! I took the week off from work when it comes out! Just hook it to my veins!

New Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer to Ease the Pain
Announced only a few days ago, Grand Theft Auto VI will no longer be coming out this year. The entire rest of my 2025 was being planned around that game release. But now it won’t be out for a fully year, next May. My disappointment is immeasurable and my day was ruined.
To ease the pain, Rockstar shadow-dropped a brand new Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer today, only our second look at this expansive game.
I don’t even know where to begin. None of that looked like in-game footage…but what if it is?! We expect nothing but the best from Rockstar, and they’ve been working on this game for nearly a decade. Maybe they will deliver graphics that good! The voice acting and characters look great. Recognized a lot of familiar voices, which is a hoot. The location looks so detailed and with such depth. The characters seem so cool.
It all just looks so real and wonderful. Which I guess will have to sustain us.
You can get some more info on the game at this link to Rockstar’s homepage.

6 Things I Want to See in Grand Theft Auto VI
I’ve been writing this blog for a very long time. I did a search of Grand Theft Auto articles to see if I’d already done this list, and it turns out I started writing this blog even before Grand Theft Auto V came out more than a decade ago! Holy cow! Anyway, I found out that I hadn’t done this list specifically! We got the GTA VI teaser trailer yesterday, so let’s celebrate!
Between the new trailer and some earlier leaks, we already know a bit about the game. It’s a return to Vice City, the Miami stand-in. And we’ve got the first ever female protagonist for a mainstream GTA game. I really wanted that, so awesome! Though, personally, I had no interest in returning to Vice City. I wouldn’t mind a new location outside of Vice City, Los Santos or Liberty City. Heck, I’d even take a game in Las Venturas, the Las Vegas stand-in. But hey, I’m very flexible and I’m sure the setting will be awesome!
Join me after the jump for what I’d like to see in Grand Theft Auto VI, from gameplay elements to open world possibilities. And feel free to share your own game hopes and dreams in the comments below.

We were all young once. We all played Grand Theft Auto V when it came out a decade ago, on our X-Box 360s and whatever. Those were good days, glorious days. And now the time is finally here to begin the proper countdown to Grand Theft Auto VI. Here’s hoping we all live that long!
Welp, looks awesome. Looks exactly how one would expect it to look, and that’s a good thing. Obviously this trailer is all about flavor and style, with a brief look at our new protagonists. And that’s all fine by me.
So yeah, I’m excited. We’ve known we were returning to Vice City for a while now, courtesy of various leaks. And we knew a female protagonist was coming. I’m all for that. And it’s clear that the game is going to lean very heavily into the ‘Florida Man’ insanity that’s developed in Florida since the last Vice City game. Sounds good to me!
I might even try to stay involved in the online community, considering how huge it got for GTA V. I gave up on that early, and then stuck around in Red Dead Redemption 2 Online for a long time, even after it became clear that Rockstar wasn’t doing anything for it.
Grand Theft Auto VI is coming 2025, probably. Hold on to your butts.

6 Genres for Rockstar to Develop Next
Look, I’m going to level with you fine readers. I’ve spent the past week hip deep in Red Dead Redemption 2, gleefully shootin’ and hollerin’ my way across the old west. Or the new west, whatever the story might be. I haven’t done very much critical thinking beyond whether or not to rob that stage coach. So how about a list of other storytelling genres video game developer Rockstar could develop games for?
I’m still not entirely sure if that’s Arthur or John in the logo
The beauty of a Rockstar game is in the immersion. There are plenty of well-made sandbox games out there, but none reach the depth of world like a Rockstar game. From growing and styling your beard to polishing your guns to tracking animals to realistic mud physics, Red Dead Redemption 2 is a work of art. It’s a game where I like to just walk around, because it wouldn’t fit the story/world/character if he sprinted everywhere.
So Rockstar needs to abandon whatever money-making plans and start whole new franchise! They’ve got cops & robbers with Grand Theft Auto, they’ve got the wild west with Red Dead Redemption and they’ve got a boarding school setting with Bully. Join me after the jump for some loosely imagined other options!
