Nika Hollandova, known online as Nikawuw, is back with a cosplay that’s already earning her tens of thousands of views: the bikini-clad woman from the first Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer. This marks her second time embodying the same look, and fans are clearly loving the encore.
The origin of the GTA 6 bikini cosplay
The official GTA 6 reveal trailer dropped on December 5, 2023, smashing records with over 60 million views in 24 hours – still the biggest opening day for a gaming trailer on YouTube. Its total views have since surged past 250 million.
Among the brief flashes of characters, the bikini girl set against the neon-soaked backdrop of Vice City snagged extra attention. Rockstar Games gave her no name and left her role in the story ambiguous, but that didn’t stop this mysterious figure from becoming a fan favorite. Gamers jumped into speculation, while cosplayers worldwide rushed to recreate her look well before the game’s release.
Nikawuw previously tackled GTA 6 themes late last year, debuting a striking cosplay of the ”girl covered in mud” from the trailer – another iconic but distinct look from the same GTA universe. Bikini or mud, both cosplay sets have ignited conversation among fans.

GTA 6 release date and game details
Rockstar Games officially delayed GTA 6’s launch to November 19, 2026. The release date had already shifted from fall 2025 to May 2026, with the studio citing the need for extra polish.
The game’s setting is the fictional state of Leonid – a satirical take on Florida – featuring a modernized Vice City, shifted from its classic 1980s vibe. For the first time in the series, GTA 6 will have two protagonists, Jason and Lucia; notably, Lucia is the first female lead in the main GTA lineup.
The confirmed platforms are PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, with no official announcement yet for a PC version. Insider Tom Henderson of Insider Gaming has asserted this will be the final delay and no further date shifts will occur.
International fans watching the GTA franchise’s evolution might see these cosplay moments as early cultural touchpoints for the game’s aesthetic and fan enthusiasm. Rockstar’s mix of mystery characters continues to fuel speculation and creativity, while the long wait for the full release builds anticipation across console generations.
Watch for how Rockstar further teases character reveals and story details as 2026 nears. The female protagonist’s role and the extent of Vice City’s reinvention could become key discussion points in GTA communities and gaming media alike.
