Fans think they've worked out GTA 6 location after Rockstar announced when trailer will drop

Eagle-eyed gamers think they've worked out the location for GTA 6 just minutes after Rockstar announced the date for the upcoming trailer.

Last month, GTA fans got the news everyone was waiting for as Rockstar Games revealed that the trailer for the new game would be dropping very soon.

Millions of gamers lost their heads when Rockstar boss Sam Houser revealed that the first trailer for GTA VI would be coming in 'early December', in the first official news about the game following a flurry of leaks.

"In 1998, Rockstar Games was founded on the idea that video games could come to be as essential to culture as any other form of entertainment, and we hope that we have created games you love in our efforts to be part of that evolution," his tweet read.

"We are very excited to let you know that in early December, we will release the first trailer for the next Grand Theft Auto.

"We look forward to many more years of sharing these experiences with all of you."

And taking to X today, Rockstar Games finally revealed that the release date for the first trailer will be on 5 December at 9am ET (2pm UK time).

Just minutes after the announcement, fans think they've figured out where the setting of the game will be based on a key detail in the image Rockstar shared.

"GTA Vice City!!!!!" one fan commented, as another tweeted: "Rockstar Games confirm trailer dropping on December 5 at 9AM ET.

"Vice City theme in the background!!"

"VICE CITY THEME," a third added.

"No way it’s actually GTA 6. Palm Trees are telling me Vice City I think. Freakin pumped," a fourth gamer wrote.

Although fans will still need to wait a little longer to play the highly anticipated video game, it seems that those with a Netflix subscription will now be able to enjoy three classic GTA titles in the meantime.

Netflix said last month: "Starting today, fans can pre-register to play Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition, featuring the genre-defining titles of Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, each updated for mobile.

"Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition adds to a growing catalog of more than 80 mobile games, with must-play titles across all genres adding further value to all Netflix memberships — including through one of the most iconic series in history, without any ads, in-app purchases, or extra fees."

“Our job is to incrementally scale to the place where games have a material impact on the business,” Netflix co-CEO Greg Peters told analysts on the Q3 2023 earnings interview last month.

“We’ve got ambitious plans there.

“We want to really grow our engagement by many multiples of where it is today over the next handful of years.”
