GTA 5 has had secret teasers for GTA 6 for at least four years-Adam Starkey-Entertainment – Metro

As people continue to speculate on when the next trailer will drop, a thread highlights all the breadcrumbs about GTA 6 in GTA 5 – but not all of them are convincing.

After almost a year of silence from Rockstar on GTA 6, following the first trailer, some fans believe we’ll see new footage within the next few weeks.

The theories around GTA 6 trailers have a knack for sounding like copium from starved fans (the latest is based on moon cycles in screenshots, for example), but Rockstar does have some history with leaving small teases in its games, to stir up speculation.

One fan has posted a thread highlighting what they believe are all the clues hinting at GTA 6, that have been hidden in GTA 5 over the years, and some of them do seem to be genuine.

As listed by X user @that1detectiv3, who regularly posts updates about GTA 6 and other Rockstar games, the thread encompasses many small Easter eggs throughout the years. One of the earliest is 2020’s Cayo Perico Heist in GTA Online, which featured coordinates that, when put into Google Maps, shows a desert road in the shape of ‘VI’.

Another key one is a T-shirt released in GTA Online in June 2023 titled ‘One Day Will Reveal All’, which featured the numbers 12523. In the American format, those numbers, whether by coincidence or not, turned out to be the date for the first GTA 6 trailer.

Some of the examples, however, do feel thin – like a Downtown Cab Co. shirt having a city in the background which appears to be Vice City, and not Los Santos, which was added into GTA Online earlier this year.

They also point to several general references to the word ‘Vice’ in GTA 5 on posters and artwork, which they interpret as teasing a return to Vice City.

This would mean Rockstar has been teasing GTA 6 since GTA 5 launched in 2013, which seems highly unlikely, so these are probably just callbacks to 2002’s GTA: Vice City on the PlayStation 2.

Whether you believe many of them or not, it’s a fun deep dive for anyone desperate for GTA 6, which is slated to be released in autumn next year.

If news around Rockstar’s next game has been quiet recently, GTA Trilogy has taken the spotlight thanks to a recent update which scrubbed the developer’s credit from the opening screen.
