Since we've been flooded with thousands of posts and articles of the trailer, some of them with there links broken, some with abominable titles and others with the youtube link scuffed, this thread can be used for a comprehensive detail of everything Rockstar has released today.
This thread will keep updating with all the information, refresh every once in a while.
Trailer – https://youtu.be/VQRLujxTm3c?si=I2L6zrTSZSt9W1SX
Official Plot: “Set in Vice City, Jason & Lucia have always known the deck is stacked against them. But when an easy score goes wrong, they find themselves on the darkest side of the sunniest place in America, in the middle of a conspiracy stretching across the state of Leonida — forced to rely on each other more than ever if they want to make it out alive”
Rockstar has also released new info on their website: https://www.rockstargames.com/VI
A detail of some of the characters below, starting with out two main protagonists Jason and Lucia:
Jason Duval
Jason wants an easy life, but things just keep getting harder.
Jason grew up around grifters and crooks. After a stint in the Army trying to shake off his troubled teens, he found himself in the Keys doing what he knows best, working for local drug runners. It might be time to try something new.
Meeting Lucia could be the best or worst thing to ever happen to him. Jason knows how he'd like it to turn out but right now, it's hard to tell.
Lucia Caminos
Lucia’s father taught her to fight as soon as she could walk.
Life has been coming at her swinging ever since. Fighting for her family landed her in the Leonida Penitentiary. Sheer luck got her out. Lucia’s learned her lesson — only smart moves from here.
More than anything, Lucia wants the good life her mom has dreamed of since their days in Liberty City — but instead of half-baked fantasies, Lucia is prepared to take matters into her own hands.
Cal Hampton
What if everything on the internet was true?
Jason’s friend and a fellow associate of Brian’s, Cal feels safest hanging at home, snooping on Coast Guard comms with a few beers and some private browser tabs open. Cal Hampton
"The psychopaths are in charge. Get used to it."
Cal is at the low tide of America and happy there. Casual paranoia loves company, but his friend Jason has bigger plans.
Boobie Ike
It's all about heart — the Jack of Hearts.
Boobie is a local Vice City legend — and acts like it. One of the few to transform his time in the streets into a legitimate empire spanning real estate, a strip club, and a recording studio — Boobie's all smiles until it's time to talk business.
"The club money pay for the studio, and the drug money pay for it all."
Top quality cuts.
Boobie might seem like he's just out for himself, but it's his partnership with the young aspiring music mogul Dre'Quan for Only Raw Records that he's most invested in — now they just need a hit.
Dre'Quan Priest
Only Raw… Records
Dre'Quan was always more of a hustler than a gangster. Even when he was dealing on the streets to make ends meet, breaking into music was the goal.
"Dancers are like my A&Rs. If the record's a hit, DJs gonna be spinnin' it."
You're with the label now.
Now that he's signed the Real Dimez, Dre'Quan's days of booking acts into Boobie's strip club might be numbered as he sets his sights on the Vice City scene.
Real Dimez
Viral videos. Viral hooks.
Bae-Luxe and Roxy aka Real Dimez have been friends since high school — girls with the savvy to turn their time shaking down local dealers into cold, hard cash via spicy rap tracks and a relentless social media presence.
"All my dimes in this club. Meet my twin, make it a dub."
One hit away from fame.
An early hit single with local rapper DWNPLY took Real Dimez to new heights. Now, after five years and a whole lot of trouble, they’re signed to Only Raw Records, hoping lightning can strike twice.
Raul Bautista
Experience counts.
Confidence, charm, and cunning — Raul’s a seasoned bank robber always on the hunt for talent ready to take the risks that bring the biggest rewards.
"Life is full of surprises, my friend. I think we'd all be wise to remember that."
A professional adapts.
Raul's recklessness raises the stakes with every score. Sooner or later, his crew will have to double down or pull their chips from the table.
Brian Heder
Nothing better than a Mudslide at sunset.
Brian's a classic drug runner from the golden age of smuggling in the Keys. Still moving product through his boat yard with his third wife, Lori, Brian's been around long enough to let others do his dirty work.
"I hauled so much grass in that plane, I could make the state of Leonida levitate."
Looks like a Leonida beach bum — moves like a great white shark.
Brian’s letting Jason live rent-free at one of his properties — so long as he helps with local shakedowns, and stops by for Lori’s sangria once in a while.

I seriously thought I was getting phished when I got the notif.
Soundtrack is already a banger
I think that was Matty Matheson in the trailer lol
Confirmed RockStar still hates PC.
They didn’t show anything amazing, I mean graphically yes but idk I expected something like Rdr 2 trailers that made you instantly hooked
Has anyone figured out who the voice actors are?
Stephen Root for the win!
Gotta stop the bleeding before the shareholder meeting on 15 May.
Wish they showed off some gameplay in this.
Cutscenes look insanely good though. Even compared to RDR2 which still amazes me in its amount of detail.
No steam emblem at the end. Expected. But still unfortunate. Can’t wait to play in 2-3 years!
Phils Ammunation
The guy looks like Phil Cassidy but is younger and with both arms… Possible son?
This is bonkers. The Jiggl- I mean the graphics alone looks absolutely insane.
I hope NPC are as dynamic as they look in this trailer in the actual game.
And I hope that main story missions feel more open rather than so on the rails scripted like on GTA 5 and RDR2.
The extra years put into the physics engine is paying dividends via booty bounce
I swear I saw Jacob Fatu towards the end.
Thought it was some AI art bs, lol.
Did the guy asking for a hook up (might be that Cal guy in the OP) sound like Jack Black to anyone else?
This trailer was definitely way more story focused and I actually appreciate that.
Wang Chung? Sold.
This is such a weirdly paced trailer
I’m not double dipping so I’ll just wait for the PC release in 2029 or whatever.
So we getting jacked and sex scenes
‘Captured on PS5*’ If that’s really the PS5 version and not the Pro, aight. Also, they really hate PC for some reason.
The amount of ass shots in the trailer
Is that Jack Black reprising his role from the Jackal? Kind of sounds like him at the end
The graphics are so good it really give me uncanny valley vibes.
I am assuming the multi protagonist system is back so I can play as Lucia and Jason, is there any other character playable? I don’t want some predictable ending where one or the other has to die.
They seem to be really pushing the relationship between Jason and Lucia as a key story point
Which naturally means one of them will die by the end
So PC release nothing till 2030,damn
They just decided to drop a trailer on a random Tuesday morning
Jason sounds too much like Troy Baker for it to not be Troy Baker. Practically doing a Joel voice
so much ass
If you listen carefully you can hear a multitude of devs altering their release schedule for next year…
Your ps5 might be able to cook some egg while this game is running
