Grand Theft Auto 6 Second Trailer Drops with 80s Hit 'Hot Together'
2025-05-07 05:27:11The highly anticipated second trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6 has finally arrived, accompanied by the infectious 80s dance-pop anthem 'Hot Together' by The Pointer Sisters. This 2-minute and 46-second preview offers a thrilling glimpse into Vice City and its surrounding areas, which players will explore through the eyes of dual protagonists Jason and Lucia.
Rockstar's first GTA 6 trailer, released in late 2023, became an instant internet sensation. Set to Tom Petty's 'Love is a Long Road,' it sparked a 36,000% surge in the song's Spotify streams. While Petty's track became synonymous with GTA 6's initial reveal, the new trailer introduces another era-defining hit that perfectly captures Vice City's vibrant atmosphere.
Just days after announcing GTA 6's delay to May 2026, Rockstar surprised fans with Trailer 2. The opening minute features minimal music, with only a brief appearance of Wang Chung's 'Everybody Have Fun Tonight' on a car radio as Jason navigates Vice City, performs mundane tasks, and picks up beer. The energy shifts dramatically when Lucia is released from prison, with The Pointer Sisters' 'Hot Together' kicking in to underscore their reunion and subsequent adventures.
'Hot Together,' the title track from The Pointer Sisters' 1986 album, perfectly complements Grand Theft Auto 6's 80s-inspired Vice City setting. More importantly, the song's lyrics mirror Jason and Lucia's complex relationship, which appears central to the game's narrative. The trailer showcases their bond through intimate moments, wild parties, and criminal escapades, making 'Hot Together' an inspired musical choice.
With significant gaps between GTA 6 trailers, fans might need to wait several months for another preview. Rockstar typically releases a detailed overview trailer closer to launch, possibly in late 2025 or early 2026. Meanwhile, 'Hot Together' will likely experience a streaming surge similar to Tom Petty's track following the first trailer.
