GTA 6 fans have already spotted five surprising Easter eggs in new trailer as Rockstar confirms launch year
THE brand new GTA trailer has finally landed and fans have been painstakingly combing it for clues.
Rockstar surprised gamers by dropping the first Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer earlier than expected on Monday.
And we now know the game will be released sometime in 2025.
Gamers have been quick to spot a number of Easter eggs, as well as nods to the past and present in the trailer.
Here’s what’s been noticed so far…
Familiar vehicles
No GTA trailer would be fit without cars of course but there was one in particular that caught people’s attention.
At the 33-second mark, fans spotted a very familiar yellow vehicle parked along the road at the back – and if theories are correct, it’s not any ordinary car either.
Gamers believe this could be a revamped take on the same car used in Vice City to spawn in the same location.
“THE YELLOW CAR IS PARKED OUTSIDE THE OCEAN VIEW WHERE IT USUALLY SPAWNS IN VICE CITY,” a Reddit user pointed out.
Notorious criminals
The location of GTA 6 is heavily inspired by Florida and Miami.
In an apparent nod, fans noticed a shot of a guy in an orange jumpsuit who looks quite a lot like a real-life criminal.
The so-called “Florida Joker” is notable for his face tattoos that many have compared to the Batman villain.
And people believe the prisoner shown in the trailer looks exactly like him.
Social media heavy?
It’s been ten years since GTA 5 and social media plays an even bigger part in the our world today.
That seems to be reflected in the GTA 6 trailer, which features TikTok-esque shots.
And there’s a man on a beach spotted taking selfies.
Drink up – alcohol-free
Fans will be very aware of GTA’s fictional drink which is advertised throughout previous games.
Well, eagle-eyed trailer watchers saw it featured once again, except this time it’s got a “Nein” added onto it (German for “No”), seemingly indicating a zero alcohol version of the drink is now available.
Door clues
GTA is always hot on detail.
Even a shop door can provide a number of clues and hints.
Amusingly, one notice warns customers it can “no longer accept cash stored in underwear”.
You may spot the iFruit App logo too, in reference to Apple Pay.
