Grand Theft Auto fans rejoice! The second trailer for GTA VI is finally here.
It comes over a year after gaming fans were gifted with the first trailer a day earlier than planned, but the developers didn't release it early out of the goodness of their own hearts. Instead they released it 24 hours early because of leaking issues (once again).
And Rockstar Games has now dropped the highly anticipated second trailer, and fans have been sent into a frenzy.
"THIS IS ABOUT TO BE THE GREATEST GAME OF ALL TIME," said one excited GTA fan.

"Gaming is saved," wrote another.
A third social media user continued: "This trailer cured my seasonal depression, thanks Rockstar."
A different person said it was 'about damn time' the publisher released the second trailer.
Check it out:
While gamers have got the trailer they've been waiting for, they've now got a year-long wait for the game itself.
It was previously expected that GTA VI would hit shelves this year but, much to people's dismay, Rockstar has had to push back the already long-awaited release date to May 2026.

The game publisher said in a statement shared to Instagram on May 2: "Grand Theft Auto VI is now set to release on May 26, 2026.
"We are very sorry that this is later than you expected. The interest and excitement surrounding a new Grand Theft Auto has been truly humbling for our entire team. We want to thank you for your support and your patience as we work to finish the game."
It continued: "With every game we have released, the goal has always been to try and exceed your expectations, and Grand Theft Auto VI is no exception. We hope you understand that we need this extra time to deliver at the level of quality you expect and deserve.
"We look forward to sharing more information with you soon. Sincerely, Rockstar."
As I'm sure you can imagine, people were pretty disappointed to learn that there's still another 12 months to wait before they can get their hands on GTA VI.
One person said: "This game ain’t ever coming out at this rate!!!"
"This game is never coming out bro," echoed a second. But it wasn't all negative comments as some gamers understood Rockstar Games' decision to push it back.
"Good. Better than other companies releasing unfinished buggy games," wrote one more sympathetic GTA fan.
