GTA VI easter egg predictions

GTA fans will be hunting secrets from the second GTA VI unlocks on 19 Nov 2026. Here's where we expect Rockstar to hide the best callbacks, mysteries and in-jokes.

What Rockstar has shown

• GTA VI returns to Vice City and Leonida.
• The official GTA VI page names several locations and characters.
• The trailers are packed with social media, wildlife, nightlife, beaches, rural Leonida and crime-story imagery.

No individual easter eggs have been revealed yet. Fan favourites like Tommy Vercetti references, Epsilon missions, Bigfoot-style mystery chains, Red Dead nods and UFOs are all still unannounced.

Our predictions

Vice City callbacks

The 2002 Vice City is the obvious place to start. Expect fans to comb through club names, radio chatter, street names, hotel signs and jokes that nod to the original.

Classic Rockstar brands

Ammu-Nation, Burger Shot, Cluckin' Bell, Sprunk, Weazel and Lifeinvader have popped up across the HD era. Our pick: most of them return in some form.

Conspiracy and mystery hunts

GTA V's Mount Chiliad mystery changed how fans read Rockstar maps. Leonida's wetlands, mountains, islands, motels and industrial zones are made for a new one.

Social media satire

Both trailers lean hard into viral clips, influencers and public spectacle. Expect jokes about apps, streams, fake news, scams and creator culture.

Film and TV references

Vice City practically begs for crime-film, Miami cop show, tourist culture and Florida news nods. Fan theory: plenty of these will be hiding in plain sight.

How we'll confirm finds after launch

An easter egg goes in our confirmed list once it has:

• an in-game screenshot or clip;
• a map location;
• a short explanation of the reference.

Weaker connections will be tagged as "possible".

Hunting tips

• Not every reused word is a reference.
• Old map mods aren't GTA VI clues.
• Steer clear of leaked files.
• Not every fan theory needs a marker.
