What GTA VI’s launch trailer puts front and center
Jason and Lucia, Vice City, and a new Justice track set the tone for Rockstar’s final stretch to launch.
Jason and Lucia are the hook

Rockstar’s launch synopsis starts with a score gone wrong. Jason and Lucia are pulled into a conspiracy that reaches across Leonida, and their survival depends on each other. The setup ties a story that spans the state to two people with a very personal stake.
The song sets the mood

The trailer debuted “Flower in a Hurricane,” a Justice track featuring Tame Impala, SZA, and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard. Rockstar also credits Justice with composing the original score. The trailer song is a distinct track, so its inclusion tells us about the trailer’s sound and the wider music campaign.
What to watch for on a rewatch

Watch it once for Jason and Lucia, then again with the music in mind. The pitch is easy to understand even if you’ve followed none of the previews: two people trying to stay ahead of trouble in a place that looks like a vacation postcard. That tension is a clearer takeaway from the launch campaign than any attempt to count missions or infer gameplay systems from a cut.
