Rather than showing us new GTA 6 gameplay, the trailer gives us our first
look at the game's official cover art and, in my eyes, it's pretty slick. The design follows the same general style as the Grand Theft Auto 5 cover, with lots of little panels containing character vignettes. It features dual protagonists Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos in a prominent position,
surrounded by iconography inspired by the Vice City setting and traditional GTA staples. There are plenty of guns, of course, alongside Florida animals such as a flamingo and an alligator. Latest Videos From Watch full video

You can see the cover art for yourself in the trailer below. Grand Theft Auto VI: Official Cover Art Reveal - YouTube Watch On The cover art isn't exactly breaking any series conventions, but in my opinion it looks pretty great. I feel like the pink and purple hues really captures those almost tropical Vice City vibes. It looks pleasantly retro, but also appropriately modern and slick.

We now know that they will start on June 25, 2026 "on digital storefronts and at other select retailers."

Unfortunately, there's no sign of a price anywhere, so it looks like we'll only learn that info when pre-orders officially begin next week. What to read next GTA 6's marketing campaign is edging closer, as Take-Two CEO gives
update 'The whole world doesn't look like that. You focus on the areas of the trailer' Former Rockstar environmental artist says what fans see in GTA 6 trailers has been 'madly polished' but 'everything that's not in that view' won't be as refined yet Fans mourn what would have been GTA 6's launch today 'My girl surprised me with $100 today and thought GTA 6 was coming out tomorrow'

The reveal comes just days after Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick
once again confirmed that GTA 6 will release on November 19, 2026 . He said that the wait has been so long because the team at Rockstar "seek to do something thats never been done before."

Speaking with CNBC's Jim Cramer earlier this year, Zelnick confirmed that there are "marketing beats coming this summer" to promote GTA 6. "We don't spend money on marketing until we're pretty close to release," he said at the time.

This cover art reveal presumably signals the start of final marketing efforts as we near release, so I would keep your eyes peeled for further trailers and news soon.

Grand Theft Auto 6 is set to release on November 19, 2026 for PS5 and Xbox Series X and Series S. Follow TechRadar on Google News and add us as a preferred source to get our expert news, reviews, and opinion in your feeds.
