GTA 6 Trailer Features Dacity Coin

Rockstar Games released the official launch trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI on October 15, sparking fan speculation over a fictional cryptocurrency called Dacity Coin featured in the footage. The game is scheduled to launch on November 19.

What does the GTA 6 launch trailer reveal about Dacity Coin?

The logo for Dacity Coin appears pasted on the side of an aircraft, drawing immediate attention from fans across X, Reddit, and Instagram. A Reddit user named Odd_West5719 posted a screenshot of the coin on the GTAVI subreddit, prompting online speculation about whether the game would feature a cryptocurrency.

According to the fan-based database GTA Wiki, Dacity Coin is a fictional cryptocurrency created by a brand named AudaCity, which is due to appear in the game. An October 11 leak first brought up the coin by showing Lucia being asked to promote AudaCity through a parachuting stunt in Vice City to gather funding for it, as noted by the wiki.

How has real-world cryptocurrency controversy intersected with the game’s leaks?

Before the launch trailer debuted, an individual or a group called CyberLeek leaked GTA 6’s original footage over several months while collecting money through an eponymous meme coin. The coin has faced scam accusations, which CyberLeek has sought to deny by burning coins. This controversy mirrors broader digital asset crime trends. In 2025, criminal crypto transactions reached a historic high of $158 billion—representing a roughly 145% surge from 2024—though illicit funds as a share of total transaction volume dropped from 1.3% in 2024 to 1.2% in 2025, according to data from onchain analytics provider TRM Labs.

What are the pricing and preorder options for Grand Theft Auto 6?

Preorders for Grand Theft Auto 6 are live ahead of its November 19 release. Buyers can choose between a standard edition for PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X/S priced at $80, or an Ultimate Edition available for $100. Developer Rockstar Games stated in a press release that the Ultimate Edition comes packed with an exclusive assortment of high-end vehicles, weapons, apparel, and action. Anyone who buys the game prior to November 20 will secure a bonus Vintage Vice City Pack, featuring a yellow ’55 Vapid Stanier automobile complete with its own garage, distinct hairstyles and outfits for both Lucia and Jason, and a palm tree motif for weapons.

What other gameplay details appear in the new footage?

IGN detailed 33 details from the launch trailer, including a closer look at Jason’s military background. Footage midway through the trailer shows him wearing a U.S. Army T-shirt that offers more details on his service, noting the combat training school Jason seemingly trained at is located in North Fort Law. The trailer also highlights the on-the-run nature of the couple’s story as they navigate the state, including a bank job and police cars belonging to Mariana County, a part of the map where the Leonida Keys are found.

The trailer includes a tender shower scene between Jason and Lucia, offering a glimpse of intimacy contrasted with the reminder of Lucia’s house arrest ankle monitor. Initially unveiled in December 2023 with a targeted debut for late 2025, Rockstar postponed the release to May 2026 before pushing it back once more to the current fall schedule. While Rockstar told IGN that GTA 6 will be a single-player experience, a PC version is reportedly launching in early 2027, according to the gaming business site GamesBeat.
