There’s A New Version Of The ‘GTA 6’ Trailer, Kind Of

Well, I wasn’t expecting to wake up to GTA 6 news, but this is a rather odd story that fans are eating up voraciously.

What’s happened is that a higher quality version of the original GTA 6 trailer has been found on China’s Bili Bili social media site. The best way to watch it is to actually download an MP4 of it from Google Drive, but I ain’t linking to that, you can find it pretty easy on Twitter right now.

The idea here is that this is a version where you can see more detail than the English version that Rockstar originally uploaded due to less compression and honestly, who knows what other possible boosts, but it is crisp, that’s for sure.

This has led news-starved GTA fans hunting down for the minor quality details between the versions, and it’s speculated this is running on a PS5. Rockstar has already confirmed that nothing here is a cutscene, and all running in-engine.

Yes, the quality upgrades are minor, but you can see them on closer inspection, and people are in fact sifting through every single little frame of this in order to see the differences.

Supposedly fans are looking for new “clues” that you can now see in the trailer, but I don’t think there’s actually anything to be found there. All we’re seeing are things like sharper dollar bills on the ground or Lucia with fine arm hair and some actual acne you can see more clearly now (please, no discourse on this, I beg you). I think there’s more than enough detail to prove that “bikini girl” in the trailer is definitely not Lucia, a theory that never seems to die.

Again, this is not…anything too crazy. But looking at the original source download yeah, it looks incredible. Not that the YouTube original upload was bad, but this does feel like a bit of an upgrade even if hunting through the finer details does come off a bit silly.

As ever, we have literally no idea when we will be getting more official GTA 6 content. Rockstar has relentlessly maintained that it will hit its fall 2025 release window, though that has not exactly been the case with its other enormous games, which usually suffer some sort of delay. Despite what they say, I’m still assuming it’s going to be pushed to 2026. If so, we won’t hear about that for a while, and we have absolutely no idea when a new trailer or further info will drop, so this is what we get for now.
