As a fan of the Grand Theft Auto series, I couldn't resist analyzing the latest GTA 6 trailer. Released a bit prematurely due to a leak on TikTok, this trailer quickly became a sensation, racking up over 50 million views and 7 million likes in less than 10 hours after its release on YouTube.
But here's the kicker, and since we're a bandana site, you can bet what piqued our interest – the surprising number of bandanas featured in the trailer. So we thought, why not count them? Especially when it's GTA 6, and we're all about bandanas! It's the perfect intersection of gaming culture and fashion, right?
How Many Bandanas Do We See in the Trailer?
Alright, let's cut to the chase. Amid Vice City's buzzing streets, high-speed chases, and neon splendor, we spotted not one, not two, but ten bandanas. That's right, ten distinct bandanas appear in just a minute and a half of footage. It seems Rockstar Games might share our love for this humble piece of cloth. Now, let's take you through each of these appearances, one by one, in chronological order. Ready for a bandana bonanza? Let's roll!
