The second trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6 was released on May 6, featuring the lively song “Hot Together” by The Pointer Sisters. This new trailer, lasting two minutes and 46 seconds, offers a sneak peek into Vice City and its surroundings, providing a glimpse of gameplay with the two main characters, Jason and Lucia.
Players are expected to explore these vibrant locales as they navigate the narrative. Following a recent announcement of the game’s delay, GTA 6’s release date is now set for May 26, 2026.
The first trailer, which came out towards the end of 2023, made a significant impact online, set to Tom Petty’s “Love is a Long Road.” This initial trailer dramatically increased the song’s Spotify streams, with a surge of over 36,000% soon after its debut.
While this song became an anthem for the game, players can anticipate a rich variety of tracks through in-game radio stations. To address fan disappointment regarding the delay, Rockstar dropped the second trailer shortly after the announcement.
The first portion of the new trailer features casual scenes of Jason engaging in daily activities like riding through Vice City, fixing a roof, and buying beer. The atmosphere shifts when he meets Lucia, who has just been released from prison, and the upbeat melody of “Hot Together” takes over, punctuated only by a brief AmmuNation commercial.
“Hot Together” aligns perfectly with the 80s ambiance of Vice City and encapsulates the relationship between Jason and Lucia. The trailer highlights their connection through fun, intimacy, and partnership in their criminal escapades.
As the narrative is likely centered around their bond, the song’s selection is particularly fitting. Given the time between trailers, it may be months before Rockstar reveals more on GTA 6, but “Hot Together” is poised to capture attention, potentially mirroring the Spotify boom experienced by Tom Petty’s song.
