A subtle lighting glitch in the GTA 6 trailer was spotted by fans, showing light on Jason’s face before the gun fires.
The community reacted with humor, poking fun at the minor flaw while still praising the trailer’s overall quality.
The glitch sparked deeper analysis, with fans forming theories about character arcs and hidden details in Rockstar’s storytelling.
Rockstar Games dropped the second GTA 6 trailer with the kind of swagger only they can pull off. Sweeping landscapes, heat-drunk streets, and the chaos of Vice City wrapped in gloss and grit. It looked flawless. But was it?
Not quite.
Some sharp-eyed fans went beyond the “oohs” and “wows” and took a closer look frame by frame. What they spotted has now become the talk of the town.
In a blink-and-miss moment, protagonist Jason is seen firing a handgun from a moving vehicle. But here’s the glitch: there’s a light flash on his face before the gun actually fires. Just a second-long scene, but enough for the internet to pounce.
A Reddit user, known as Cat With Banana96, flagged it first: “Light appears before gunshot.” Screenshots followed. The proof was clear. A tiny misstep in timing, likely in post production, where the lighting hit before the muzzle flash did. A small slip, but in a trailer built to showcase perfection, it stands out.

Predictably, the community went wild with sarcasm.
“That’s it, pre order cancelled.”
“Literally unplayable.”
“I can't believe this garbage.”
Of course, these were jokes. Nobody’s ditching their excitement over one lighting error. But it does take the sheen off Rockstar’s much-touted aim for “perfection,” often emphasized by Take Two’s CEO Strauss Zelnick.
Still, it’s all in good spirit. The overall buzz remains sky high.
Beyond technical critiques, fans are spinning theories faster than Lucia drives through a Florida swamp. One of the hottest takes? Lucia might betray Jason down the line. It's just a hunch based on fleeting trailer moments, but it fits the GTA tradition of backstabbing, broken loyalty, and character depth.
There’s also chatter about real world city parodies. Clues hidden in neon signs, strip malls, and beach boardwalks hint at Orlando references wrapped inside Rockstar’s dark humor.
Even with the tiny glitch, the trailer’s impact is undeniable. It gave us more of Jason and Lucia, GTA’s own Bonnie and Clyde. Helicopter chases, chaotic shootouts, intimate moments, and swampy getaways... all painted with Rockstar’s signature storytelling flair.
The trailer wasn’t just a tease. It was a reminder. A reminder that after years of silence, GTA 6 is coming and it’s going to shake the industry again.
So yes, the GTA 6 trailer 2 isn’t technically perfect. But does it matter?
If anything, it shows that even legends like Rockstar Games aren’t immune to a single off-beat frame. And that’s oddly comforting.
Now hit replay and watch it again, this time a little slower. You might just spot something new.
