GTA 6 ads reach Spain with a Barcelona tram wrap

The Grand Theft Auto VI ad campaign has reached Spain. Spanish outlet Vandal reports that a Barcelona tram is now covered in Rockstar Games artwork showing Jason and Lucia, both together and on their own. According to Vandal, this comes a few days after the first GTA 6 posters showed up in Madrid.

Vandal posted a short clip of the tram on its X account on November 3 and called the wrap very eye-catching. That's fair. A full-size Jason and Lucia rolling through Barcelona's streets is a hard way to miss the news that the game is out on November 19.

Spain joins the campaign beyond Miami

Most of the attention on the GTA 6 marketing push has gone to Miami, the real city behind Vice City. Vandal's report shows the rollout reaching Europe too, after GTA 6 ads already turned up on São Paulo street screens in Brazil. Vandal doesn't say whether other Spanish cities will get ads or how long the tram wrap will stay up. For now, the Madrid posters and the Barcelona tram are the only Spanish placements it describes.

Pre-load date, the missing disc and a 200 GB install

Vandal also went over the launch details Spanish players are tracking. The outlet says pre-loading opens on November 12, matching earlier reports covered in our pre-load story. It adds that the physical version comes without a disc, so buyers of a boxed copy should still plan on a download.

That download will be large. Vandal expects the game to be over 200 GB before any launch-day patches, though it doesn't say where the figure comes from. Treat it as an estimate until Rockstar or the console storefronts publish a final size.

Launch trailer and the South Park clip

The posters and tram are part of a wider run of promotion in the last stretch before launch. Vandal notes that GTA 6's launch trailer came out recently and that fans have been combing it for small details. The newest footage turned up somewhere unexpected: a South Park episode, in a clip where Jason picks up after a dog and throws the bag at another character. It's a good fit for the show's humour, and we have more on it in our South Park footage piece.
