Narrative Focus:

This trailer takes on more of a narrative focus compared to its initial teaser. As per YouTube description, Lucia and Jason become embroiled in an exciting journey beginning with small crimes but soon spiraling out of control into chaos in Leonida (modeled on Florida) featuring beaches, casinos, nightclubs, swamps and criminal empires.

🎮 Real PS5 Gameplay

Rockstar revealed that every scene featured in their PS5 trailer was recorded using the base PS5, not on either PS5 Pro or Xbox Series X; likely as part of Rockstar's longstanding marketing agreement with Sony going back as far as GTA 3.

Rockstar responded to fan concerns regarding "pre-rendered" scenes by explaining that half the footage depicts actual in-game gameplay such as combat, vehicle chases and dynamic environment interaction - similar to Red Dead Redemption 2.

🌆 GTA 6 Cities, Locations, and Activities

GTA 6's official website and screenshots have revealed six significant locations from its open world map:

Ambrosia - Lucia and Jason's hometown.

Grass Rivers: Inspired by the everglades, this swampy area was created as part of our outdoor playspaces.

Lanad Keys are an exciting coastal region offering underwater exploration.

Mount Klaga in GTA 5 resembles Mount Chiliad with regards to mountain biomes, so this feature of GTA 5 should look familiar when visiting it.

Port Gallon - Port Gallon is an important industrial port.

OG YT - is an exciting nightlife hub with clubs and underground activities galore.

Confirmed Activities

Lucia: Her father trained her from early on; however, he was arrested protecting his family and she became his successor as leader of their defence force.

Other characters confirmed:

Jason Heder reports to Brother Brine Heder.
