The GTA 6 trailer has amassed a whopping 120 million views on YouTube and earned 9.8 million likes, evoking a sense of awe and admiration among viewers.
The impact extends beyond tone and scope to pure visual appeal. The vibrant Vice City/Leonida environments are striking, but it’s the character designs that truly turn heads. From the lead characters Jason and Lucia to the fascinating NPCs, the visual direction truly captures the essence of this wild and sprawling world.
Unlike trailer misrepresentations we’ve seen in the past with other games, Rockstar games have earned a reputation for remaining true to their trailers. The exquisitely crafted trailers have consistently reflected the actual game, ensuring that what is shown is truly as good as it looks.

Regardless of age-old trailers’ resolution quality, Rockstar has maintained consistent or improved character designs from the trailers to the final game in most instances.
These trailers showcase what the game should look like, giving a glimpse into the actual in-game visuals rather than pre-rendered cinematic cutscenes. It’s clear that Rockstar has not and will not engage in visual misrepresentation of its games, ensuring that the final product is a true reflection of what is promised.

While the face tech in GTA 6 may not be remarkably more advanced than what was seen in Red Dead Redemption 2, the performance capture and overall character modeling are visibly elevating the experience, bringing the people of Vice City to life in a way never seen before.

This solidifies Rockstar’s long-standing commitment to visual authenticity and excellence throughout its games.
