Rockstar Has Released Its First GTA 6 Trailer
After early leaks, Rockstar Games has now officially revealed the next entry in the Grand Theft Auto series, which will revisit Vice City in 2025.
After a now-suspended account on X (formerly Twitter) posted a teaser trailer for the highly-anticipated GTA 6, Rockstar Games quickly responded by publishing an official version in full via its YouTube channel.
The trailer confirms several small details and rumors that have come to light about GTA 6 over the last two years, including the game’s Vice City setting and female protagonist (a first for the series). The trailer also confirms the game’s 2025 release and hints at a Bonnie and Clyde-inspired story.
In a later press release published yesterday, Rockstar added that the game — which has now been ten years in the making — would be coming to PS5 and Xbox Series X / S.
The GTA 6 trailer, which features the usual guns, fast cars, and ill-gotten cash, is set against the backdrop of Vice City, a fictitious version of Miami, Florida. Meanwhile, we also meet one of the game’s protagonists, a woman named Lucia, who seems to be on a crime spree with her boyfriend after recently being released from prison.

The press release does add a few more facts about the upcoming game, stating: “Grand Theft Auto VI heads to the state of Leonida, home to the neon-soaked streets of Vice City and beyond in the biggest, most immersive evolution of the Grand Theft Auto series yet”.
GTA 6’s reveal has been rife with leaks from hackers and employees. Earlier this year, a UK teenager was found responsible for a leak that distributed 90 in-game videos from the upcoming title. Additionally, this week, TikTok footage emerged of the game that is thought to have been leaked by the child of a Rockstar employee.

Samsung Smart Glasses Teased For January, Software Reveal Imminent
According to Korean sources, the new wearable will launch alongside the Galaxy S25, with the accompanying software platform unveiled this December.
Samsung appears poised to introduce its highly anticipated smart glasses in January 2025, alongside the launch of the Galaxy S25. According to sources in Korea, the company will first reveal the accompanying software platform later this month.
As per a report from Yonhap News, Samsung’s unveiling strategy for the smart glasses echoes its approach with the Galaxy Ring earlier this year. The January showcase won’t constitute a full product launch but will likely feature teaser visuals at the Galaxy S25 event. A more detailed rollout could follow in subsequent months.
Just in: Samsung is set to unveil a prototype of its augmented reality (AR) glasses, currently in development, during the Galaxy S25 Unpacked event early next year, likely in the form of videos or images.

The Galaxy Ring, for example, debuted in January via a short presentation during Samsung’s Unpacked event. The full product unveiling came later at MWC in February, and the final release followed in July. Samsung seems to be adopting a similar phased approach with its smart glasses, which are expected to hit the market in the third quarter of 2025.
A Collaborative Software Effort
Samsung’s partnership with Google has played a key role in developing the smart glasses’ software. This collaboration was first announced in February 2023, with the device set to run on an Android-based platform. In July, the companies reiterated their plans to deliver an extended reality (XR) platform by the end of the year. The software specifics for the XR device are expected to be unveiled before the end of December.
Reports suggest that the smart glasses will resemble Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses in functionality. They won’t include a display but will weigh approximately 50 grams, emphasizing a lightweight, user-friendly design.
Feature Set And Compatibility
The glasses are rumored to integrate Google’s Gemini technology, alongside features like gesture recognition and potential payment capabilities. Samsung aims to create a seamless user experience by integrating the glasses with its broader Galaxy ecosystem, starting with the Galaxy S25, slated for release on January 22.
