Rockstar Games truly knows how to generate hype for their video games. In this article, we’ll take a look at the best GTA 6 teasers released by the development team over the past few years. Believe it or not, Rockstar has dropped numerous hints about Grand Theft Auto 6. Chances are, many of them flew under your radar, but there have been teasers in GTA Online, the GTA Trilogy, and even in news articles. Because there are so many, we’ve put together a detailed summary for you in this article.
Rockstar Games and Teasers
The discussion about GTA 6 teasers is a hot topic. Some in the community claim that Rockstar Games would never tease an upcoming game in their current titles. However, that’s definitely not true. On the contrary, the developer has a long tradition of hinting at new GTA releases in previous games. Many fans spend hours each week hunting for these Easter eggs.
A good example is GTA 4, where you could spot the “Vinewood” sign, Los Santos’ skyline, and a plane in an amusement park—all clear references to GTA 5. Even in Max Payne 3 from 2012, players noticed planes from GTA 5 before the game was officially announced. That’s pretty wild, considering Max Payne belongs to an entirely different game universe.
Going back even further, in GTA 3 from 2001, a billboard read “See you in Miami,” which was an obvious nod to Vice City, GTA’s version of Miami. Rockstar Games clearly loves to surprise us with hidden details. For decades, they’ve been dropping hints, leading fans to come up with countless theories about GTA 6’s release date. Some of these theories are so outrageous that they’re almost laughable, but with Rockstar, you never know. Even the tiniest details in trailers or screenshots might have meaning.
The Best GTA 6 Teasers
One of the most recent hints came from the GTA Trilogy Remastered. At the same spot where the “See you in Miami” message once appeared, it now reads “See you soon” alongside a plane model from GTA 5. Since the trilogy was released eight years after GTA 5, this “See you soon” can only be referring to Miami or Vice City. It doesn’t get much clearer than that. The Trilogy even included a texture leak, which may have been accidental.
In the remastered version of GTA San Andreas, players discovered an image of a tropical house surrounded by palm trees and a UFO. The image was created in the Red Dead Redemption 2 engine and closely resembles typical Florida architecture. This fueled speculation that Vice City would be the setting for GTA 6.
The Cayo Perico Heist from 2020 also contained hidden clues. The GPS coordinates from the mission pointed to a field in the U.S. where the paths form a “VI” (the Roman numeral for 6). The odds of that being a coincidence are almost zero. You can see how these small puzzle pieces gradually form a bigger picture.
Rockstar has even dropped hints through designs in updates. For example, the December 2022 update introduced a shirt featuring a taxi in front of a tropical skyline, another teaser for Vice City. A police helicopter in a holiday post from the same year closely resembled a real-life Miami Police Department helicopter.
Another standout was the updated designs of E-Cola and Junk Energy. These designs first appeared in leaked GTA 6 footage and later in GTA Online. Even the Vice City Metro Mall has been indirectly teased through vehicle designs.
Over the years, there have been countless small and large Easter eggs, all pointing toward the highly anticipated GTA 6.
