The second official trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI gave us more insight into what we can expect when the highly-anticipated title finally releases next year.

We got to see more of our brand-new protagonists Jason and Lucia and supporting characters but perhaps more excitedly, we got to see the map that we will be spending the next decade exploring.

Check out the second GTA VI trailer below!

Set in a fictionalised Miami and surrounding areas, Grand Theft Auto VI is expected to feature the biggest open-world map in Rockstar history and fans are eagerly anticipating the many ways the new iconic locations can be explored.

Much like in previous Grand Theft Auto entries, GTA VI is based on real-life geography and to drill home how detailed Rockstar’s maps really are, user ProfessionalPop2348 took to r/GTA6 to share side-by-side images of the second trailer’s most recognisable locations.

“GTA 6 vs Google Maps locations,” the post reads, alongside a series of screenshots showing how accurate the locations shown in the trailer are to real life.

We can see the highway, motel, stadium, skyscrapers, and of course, the beach and it is shocking to see how accurate the game is to real life by looking at the comparison images.

It seems as though fans agree as they took to the comments to share their amazement.

“Can’t wait to see the ultra HD mods on pc in 10 years,” user Quentin718 shared.

User Mister_Frowdo added, “Is it just me, or does the scale come really close to the real life variant?

I mean, it's not 1:1 and I don't expect it to be, but man... Those are some big distances to drive, fly or sail and I love it!”

With many fans saying the trailer looks even better than real life, it is going to be a painful wait until GTA VI releases on 26 May 2026. We can only imagine how incredible it will look on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.
