GTA 6 Trailer: Hidden Easter Eggs You Might Have Missed
The GTA 6 trailer is packed with hidden easter eggs, from 80s tunes to a PS5 controller, Ammu-Nation return, and possible Phil Cassidy cameo.
Rockstar Games has dropped the second trailer for the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6), teasing fans with explosive action, vibrant nightclubs, and plenty of hidden references. From nods to past GTA titles to subtle hints at real-world locations, the trailer is packed with easter eggs that longtime fans of the franchise will love. Here's a rundown of the most interesting ones we spotted:
1. “Fixing Some Leaks”
In one of the trailer's scenes, Jason Duval, a primary character, is seen repairing a roof. When asked what he's doing, he responds, "Fixing some leaks." This appears to be a cheeky nod to the numerous leaks that have surfaced about GTA 6 over the years, hinting that Rockstar is finally addressing the rumors head-on.
2. 80s Throwback: "Everybody Have Fun Tonight"
The soundtrack of the trailer features a couple of standout 1980s tracks, including Wang Chung's “Everybody Have Fun Tonight” and The Pointer Sisters’ “Hot Together”. These classic hits could be a sign that Rockstar is leaning into an 80s-inspired radio station for GTA 6, adding to the nostalgia factor.
3. Weightlifting Returns
Fans of GTA: San Andreas will be pleased to see the return of weightlifting in the new game. A brief shot shows Jason lifting weights, an activity last featured in the iconic San Andreas. This easter egg suggests that physical customization could be making a comeback, adding a fun layer of character development.
4. Ammu-Nation Easter Egg
The beloved Ammu-Nation gun store makes a subtle return in the trailer. While it's easy to miss, the iconic store appears briefly, giving fans a glimpse of the familiar firepower that has become a hallmark of the GTA series. Fans should keep an eye out for more references to this legendary location.
5. Real-Life Location: The Caribbean Club
As Rockstar often does, the developer seems to have integrated a real-world location into GTA 6. In the trailer, Jason and Lucia are seen at a bar that resembles the Caribbean Club in Key Largo, Florida. The scene also features a reference to a hurricane named Roxy, possibly hinting at the environmental challenges players will encounter in the game.
6. Lucia’s Golden Dress
Lucia, featured in the first GTA 6 trailer wearing a striking gold dress, makes another appearance. This time, she’s seen alongside Jason at a rock club after their road trip, continuing the glamorous theme. This callback to the original trailer’s outfit might signal her importance to the storyline.
7. PS5 Controller Easter Egg
In a fun final touch, the trailer ends with Jason lounging on a couch, watching TV, with a PS5 console and DualSense controller visible in the background. This subtle easter egg is a playful wink at real-world gaming, though it’s still unclear if this will have any significance in-game. It’s worth noting that the Degenetron brand, introduced in GTA: Vice City, might also be making a return.
8. Phil Cassidy Returns?
Finally, fans of GTA: Vice City might recognize an unexpected reference: the potential return of Phil Cassidy. The trailer includes a brief moment that could be alluding to the beloved character, but it’s still unclear whether it’s just a nod or a real appearance. Regardless, it’s a thrilling prospect for those who’ve followed the GTA saga.
