GTA 6 Preload Trailer Reveals New Nightclub, SWAT, and Racetrack Scenes

GTA 6’s new preload trailer adds almost half a minute of fresh footage, with a SWAT response, nightclub scenes, and more. Rockstar has rolled out a new trailer tied to the start of preloads, and it brings a few new glimpses with it.

Preloading is now live for everyone who ordered GTA 6 digitally in advance, while buyers of the code-in-a-box edition can also redeem their code and start preloading once it arrives.

Rockstar has also, at last, laid out the performance targets GTA 6 is aiming for on PlayStation 5, PS5 Pro, and Xbox Series X and S, and even Xbox One, but the main attention here goes to the new trailer. Though it runs just 29 seconds, it includes short clips of unseen material that are already sparking discussion among fans.

The trailer uses Blood in Your Eyes by Tove Lo from Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album, and it opens with the familiar Plays Best on PS5 message seen throughout much of the game’s marketing so far, reflecting Sony’s deal with Rockstar Games. After that, Lucia and Jason are shown dancing in a nightclub, then the scene moves to a daytime racetrack where Lucia watches an excited driver pull off a backflip.

Next comes a line from a character who says, “I mean, it’s not really my thing, you know what I’m sayin’?” This is music producer Dre'Quan Priest, whose new role suggests his days of lining up acts for Boobie’s strip club may be ending as he focuses on the Vice City music scene.

From there, Jason is seen shoving someone into a shower, or at least something that looks like one, followed by a boat party named Ships And Giggles, and then a striking moment: a SWAT unit appearing to respond to some kind of emergency. The likely theory is that these are the same forces tied to the building Jason and Lucia flee in the Extended Look.

After that, Lucia appears with a friend while preparing for an evening out, and then another character makes a big exit with the line, “Oh, it is so on now!”

GTA 6 is set to launch on November 19, and the worldwide release times are available so players can see when access begins. This week, IGN spoke with Take-Two boss Strauss Zelnick about GTA 6 forecasts, web-based, and what the coming decade may bring. There is also a report on the search for details that dataminers are now pursuing after the GTA 6 preload went live.
