GTA 6 detectives think its first trailer actually plays out in reverse—all thanks to an ankle bracelet with some grim, real-world implications

Lucia, a protagonist from Grand Theft Auto 6, looks over her shoulder at the camera while backlit by a prison yard.

I'm typically sceptical of trailer scrubbers—and there are a hell of a lot of them with Grand Theft Auto 6. Can't blame them, obviously, it's been 10 whole years since we last got a GTA game. 

But they've really been ravenous this time—drawing circles around moles, driving up Spotify numbers, and having some would-be players questioning their mortality. A game trailer shouldn't be giving you an existential crisis, but as you're about to find out, it got me pretty close.
