Rockstar released the GTA 6 Launch Trailer on October 15, 2026. It is the fourth major official video and the first built around original music: 'Flower in a Hurricane' by Justice featuring Tame Impala, SZA and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard. It runs about a minute and a half and opens with Jason explaining his rocky Army exit.
Key points

What song is in the GTA 6 Launch Trailer?
“Flower in a Hurricane” by Justice featuring Tame Impala, SZA and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard. Rockstar’s site bills it as the song’s debut and names Justice as the game’s original score composers. It is the first GTA 6 trailer cut to music written for the game. Trailer 1 used Tom Petty’s “Love Is a Long Road” and Trailer 2 leaned on licensed tracks like The Pointer Sisters’ “Hot Together”.
Some outlets spell it “Flowers in a Hurricane”. The official title is singular.
What the trailer shows
It runs about a minute and a half and stays focused on the two leads. Going by Game Rant’s breakdown:
- It opens with Jason in voiceover saying he didn’t leave the Army “on the best of terms” and that banks don’t lend to people like him.
- Lucia jumps from a speeding car onto a moving plane.
- There are heists, fistfights, shootouts, motorcycle stunts and police chases.
- It ends with Jason and Lucia leaping off a balcony hand in hand.
The Army line is new information. Jason’s official bio never said how his military service ended. More on both leads in our GTA 6 characters guide.

The November 10 videos
Two short pieces arrived the day pre-loading opened:
- “Pre-Load Now” (Rockstar): a 30-second spot marking the start of pre-downloads for digital pre-orders.
- PS5 features trailer (PlayStation): a look at DualSense support. VGC reports weapon recoil and gym-weight resistance through the adaptive triggers, haptic feedback, and police radio chatter coming out of the controller’s speaker. Those features are PS5-only.
