We finally have news about one of the most anticipated games in recent years as Rockstar just dropped the first trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6. The 1:31 long trailer has gamers hyped, including Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James.
James took to social media to weigh in on the GTA 6 trailer:
As promised by Rockstar on their X (formerly Twitter), the first GTA 6 trailer has finally dropped to celebrate the company’s 25th anniversary. The trailer itself appears to be a mix of in-game and pre-rendered footage, showing off the game’s world. Sadly, there wasn’t any gameplay footage in the trailer, so Lakers star James will likely have to wait for a future trailer to see those.
Thankfully, release window is now known for the game. Sadly, it won’t be coming out until at least 2025. We don’t know the exact date for its release date, however. At best, we will be able to enjoy it early in the year. At worst, we might have to wait a little longer. The game is expected to come out on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, and possibly PC in the future. LeBron earns a max salary from the Lakers, so it’s likely that he has all three systems to game on.
The trailer itself confirms some of the speculation surrounding the game. Namely, that one of the protagonists is female. Players have been able to play as female characters before, but only in GTA Online, not in a main installment. The game will also be taking place in Vice City, the setting of the 2002 GTA Vice City.
While LeBron has to wait like the rest of us, he’s got a lot on his plate in the meantime. The Lakers take on the Suns in the knockout round of the NBA In-Season Tournament on Tuesday.
