If there’s one thing Rockstar Games has always excelled at, it’s setting the tone. And with the latest GTA 6 trailer, they’ve delivered a sun-drenched fever dream straight from the heart of Florida, wrapped in equal parts nostalgia, absurdity, and explosive action.

The moment the trailer kicks off with the unmistakable beats of “Everybody Have Fun Tonight” by Wang Chung, it’s clear we’re in for something special. The classic 1980s new-wave track doesn’t just provide background music – it sets the entire emotional palette. Carefree, retro, and a little cheesy, it mirrors the chaotic, over-the-top vibe that GTA fans know and love.

Visually, the trailer is soaked in vibrant daylight. Scenes of beach parties, city streets buzzing with nightlife, and a man chilling on a flamingo float scream tropical fun. But just as quickly, the tone shifts: gunfights erupt on highways, planes zoom overhead, and explosions light up the night. The contrast is jarring, but intentionally so. It’s a rollercoaster ride through paradise – dangerous, ridiculous, and undeniably entertaining.

Kotaku rightly notes the trailer isn’t about showcasing gameplay – it’s about vibes. Rockstar is selling an experience. One where you’re not just playing a game, you’re stepping into an exaggerated, hyperbolic version of Florida, complete with all the charm and chaos that comes with it.

This is peak “Florida Man” energy: a place where anything can happen, and probably will. The soundtrack, the visuals, and the energy all point to a game that knows exactly what it is – and is having a damn good time being it.
