The latest trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6 is here and it gives us a more than two minutes and thirty seconds worth a footage of the highly anticipated upcoming open-world game.

That might not sound like a lot, but it revealed loads of new details about the GTA 6's central characters, setting, plus dropped a wealth of story hints.

One of the most striking things about the trailer, however, is just how stunning everything looks. GTA 6 might be one of the most beautiful games that I've ever seen, with a level of photo-realism that looks leagues ahead of what other studios have achieved in this current console generation.

Developer Rockstar Games has always been a leader in the visual department, but GTA 6 seems set to take it all to a new level. A message at the end of the trailer reveals that it was all captured on PlayStation 5, which is incredibly promising.

The trailer released alongside a countless new screenshots uploaded to the Rockstar website, which really help showcase the extreme visual fidelity. It's got loads of shots of characters, including our protagonists Lucia and Jason, plus plenty of gorgeous environments.
