Rockstar’s own Launch Trailer watch page lists three videos with “Trailer” in the title, plus An Extended Look. The media hub shows the same set of main videos. Fan “Trailer 3” countdowns often meant a third marketing trailer — the Launch Trailer is that third trailer by Rockstar’s naming, even though the word “3” never appears in the title.

Is the Launch Trailer “Trailer 3”?
Rockstar does not label it “Trailer 3.” It is the third video whose title includes “Trailer.” Searches for “when is GTA 6 trailer 3” usually mean that next cinematic trailer — for which the Launch Trailer is the published answer so far. An Extended Look sits between Trailer 2 and the Launch Trailer on the timeline but is a different format.
What About Short Clips and Teasers?
The media hub lists additional clips (for example Official Cover Art Animation, Jason Duval Video Clip, Lucia Caminos Video Clip). Those are short downloads, not the main trailer list. Only treat a video as official if it appears on Rockstar’s site or Rockstar’s own channels.
Where to Watch Without Fake Uploads
Use rockstargames.com/VI, the media hub or Rockstar’s YouTube channel. Random “leaked trailer” uploads are outside that list. For how we separate official media from guesses, see the pre-release fact-checking guide and our earlier Extended Look briefing. Character faces in the trailers are covered in Who Are the Main Characters in GTA 6?.
