Rockstar Releases the GTA VI Launch Trailer, Scored by Justice
TL;DR The GTA VI launch trailer is live. It debuts Justice's Flower in a Hurricane, centres on Jason and Lucia, and changes nothing about the November 19 date, platforms or editions.
Why it matters: If you're buying GTA VI, this affects what you pay and what you get.
Confirmed
Rockstar Games: Rockstar dropped the Grand Theft Auto VI launch trailer on October 15 with no advance notice. The 90-second cut debuts Flower in a Hurricane by Justice and follows Jason and Lucia from an easy score into a statewide conspiracy.
Not confirmed
Regional prices and extra retailer bundles can still vary by store.
