The GTA 6 community seems to have found a new hobby as it awaits release: Investigate every second of the trailers as if it were solving a crime in Vice City.
And believe me, they’re not letting almost anything pass!
Comparações entre o primeiro trailer, de dezembro de 2023, e o segundo, lançado em maio de 2025, já mostravam mudanças na aparência dos personagens, iluminação e detalhes dos cenários. Mas foi o novo trailer de lançamento, divulgado em 15 de outubro de 2026, que reacendeu uma discussão: será que os gráficos de GTA 6 pioraram?
What has changed between the GTA 6 trailers?
When Rockstar released the first trailer, Vice City was already impressed by the crowd on the streets, the bustling beaches and the vibrant lighting.
Among the observations shared on Reddit communities were changes in the faces of Lucia and Jason, more detailed skin textures, vegetation and even the appearance of secondary characters.
Many considered these differences visual improvements.Others preferred certain scenes from the original material.
The story has taken a different direction with the latest trailer.
GTA 6 graphics suffered downgrade?
The launch trailer brought a more cinematic presentation, but some fans noticed a seemingly smoother and less sharp picture.
Among the main complaints are the excess brightness, the blurred appearance of certain scenes and a more yellowish hue.
In Reddit discussions, while some players showed concern about a possible graphic downgrade, others argued that the differences may be related to the visual effects used in the edition.
And here’s an important detail: there’s no confirmation that GTA 6 has suffered a reduction in graphics quality.
A technical analysis by Digital Foundry, retrieved by Notebookcheck, found no evidence of reduced rendering resolution in the PS5 images examined.
In practice, comparing different trailer scenes can reveal real changes, but it’s not enough to determine how the whole game will work when it’s in the hands of players.
Rockstar is ready to release GTA 6
Rockstar has already put its launch campaign in motion.
On August 27, the company released an extended video of approximately 27 minutes, captured entirely on PlayStation 5, offering a deeper insight into the game.
The October trailer supplemented the release with scenes from the story of Jason and Lucia and a new Vice City performance.
Pre-sales are also open, and prices have already been announced in Brazil.
Standard edition
R$ 449,90
Ultimate Edition
R$ 549.90
Values found in Brazil's PlayStation and Xbox digital stores on 18 October 2026.
Another confirmed detail is that digital pre-load starts on November 12, allowing you to download the game in advance.
GTA 6 will initially be released to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. So far, there is no official date announced for PC.
Events that increase expectations
Rockstar is also preparing new features in addition to the game itself.
One of them is the soundtrack. The electronic duo Justice signs the original GTA 6 song, and the release trailer featured the Flower in a Hurricane track, featuring Tame Impala, SZA and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard.
Another curiosity is in the available editions: according to the official announcement of Take-Two, the boxed version contains a code for download instead of a traditional disc.
It has history, of course.
This time, we’ll follow Jason and Lucia, two criminals who end up involved in a conspiracy by Leonida’s fictional state after a coup goes wrong.
Vice City returns as one of the main scenarios, now in a modern version inspired by Florida.
Will GTA 6 surpass expectations?
After more than a decade since the original release of GTA 5, it is natural that GTA 6 carries huge expectations.
The trailers have already demonstrated Rockstar’s visual ambition, but the real assessment will happen when players can explore Leonida, experiment with its mechanics and observe how that world works during play.
In the end, no camera filter will decide the success of GTA 6.
The big question is whether Rockstar will be able to turn all that attention into an experience as striking as its best games.
And you, have you noticed any worsening in the graphics or do you think fans are exaggerating in the comparisons?
Until November arrives, one thing is certain: the community will continue to examine every detail of Vice City.
