What Rockstar says about the story
The Newswire post for the trailer sets out the premise. Jason and Lucia have always known the odds are against them, and when what should be an easy job goes wrong, they end up in a criminal conspiracy that reaches across the state of Leonida. To get out alive, they have to rely on each other more than ever.
Rockstar linked wishlist pages for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S under the post. For more on Vice City and the surrounding areas, it pointed readers to rockstargames.com/VI.
New profiles on the official site
As Gematsu reported the same day, the website introduced eight characters and six places. Gematsu also noted that the trailer was captured on PlayStation 5.
Characters: Jason Duval, Lucia Caminos, Cal Hampton, Boobie Ike, Dre'Quan Priest, the duo Real Dimez, Raul Bautista and Brian Heder.

The trailer arrived four days after the first delay. On May 2, 2025, Rockstar had moved the launch to May 26, 2026, and after a second delay in November 2025 the current date is November 19, 2026. A widely quoted figure for views in the first 24 hours could not be checked against any freely accessible source, so we do not repeat it here.
