The Best And Wildest Grand Theft Auto 6 Theories We've Seen So Far
Lots of time to think...Both times Rockstar Games has dropped a new Grand Theft Auto VI trailer so far, the internet has been set ablaze. First, the heat comes from the excitement of people who have been waiting for this game for over a decade. Eventually, though, that excitement turns to wonder--and then the theorizing begins.Trailer 2 for GTA VI--which was released with no warning on May 6--is no exception. All corners of the internet have been combing the three-minute trailer for clues, references, or anything else that may provide some sort of window into what the next GTA adventure is going to include.We've completed some of our favorite theories here, from those who think the game might be bigger than Leonida can contain, to a few ideas about how Jason and Lucia's relationship is going to end up--spoiler warning for those theories, they don't think things are going to end well.Note that this is all speculation based on the trailer--like how the trailer seems to tip off some of the many side activities Jason and Lucia can get up to--and we won't know what's actually going to happen until Grand Theft Auto VI launches on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 on May 26, 2026. Liberty City is in GTA VILiberty City is a key landmark for the GTA franchise--multiple core GTA games have taken place there, and co-protagonist Lucia is said to have moved to Leonida from Liberty City.There are multiple references to Liberty City in the trailer--from headwear to license plates--and that's got some GTA theorists thinking we may be headed back there at some point in the GTA VI story, even if only for a little while--even if it's a situation like GTA V's missions in North Yankton. Finally listen to GTA radio outside of a carAmong the many screenshots released alongside Trailer 2 in early May, we see Lucia relaxing in a pool with AirPod-like earbud headphones in her ears.While AirPods would certainly not be out of place in a video game set in the modern day, there's speculation that earbuds may be something either Jason or Lucia can wear whenever they want--which means they can listen to GTA VI's versions of the famous GTA radio stations whenever they want as well. Trailer 2 shows when Jason's gameplay beginsThere's a scene at the start of Trailer 2 where we see Jason enter his home, with the camera hugging his right shoulder. Seasoned gamers will recognize a setup like this, so many believe this scene is transitioning to where the player takes control of Jason--maybe even for the first time. Potential character-select screenIn a similar vein, a shot of Jason and Lucia embracing out front of a Vice City nightclub--found on the official GTA VI website--uses a sweeping camera shot to capture the moment, first in front of Jason, then moving to Lucia. Theorists suggest this could end up being the "character-select" screen, where players will choose which of the two they want to control. Jason is an undercover copJason and Lucia's relationship, based on the first two trailers, seems like a grounded, down-to-earth, realistic depiction of what a modern relationship looks like. So, of course, some in the community think it's all fake, because Jason is actually an undercover cop and will eventually bust her.Trailer 2 throws fuel onto this speculative fire with one character directly calling Jason a "fed," while a security guard at the prison Lucia's being held in asks Jason if he'd been there before, to which Jason responds, "I might have been." Whether Jason is a cop or not, fans still think… Jason and Lucia's relationship will end in betrayal…that Jason and Lucia are star-crossed lovers, who are headed for a bitter end thanks to a betrayal of some kind. The community is split on exactly who will do the betraying, and there are solid arguments for both. Watch, the betrayal we all expect will never come, and the two will live happily ever after on a beach somewhere. Heists are backA cheeky reference to action flick Fast Five--where a car is dragging what looks to be a safe through the streets--might actually be hinting at the return of Heists, which were a big part of GTA V's story and GTA Online's experience. Switch 2 might not be able to handle itThe tech wizards at Digital Foundry have a theory of their own, and fans of portable consoles are not going to be pleased. Despite its more powerful contents, DF seems to think that Nintendo Switch 2--another highly anticipated gaming item which launches June 5--might not be able to handle GTA VI, even at the same 30fps framerate as the trailer. One game, two islandsEarlier we mentioned that some think all of the references of Liberty City are signaling a return there in some capacity. However, based on a keen viewer's screenshot, Leonida itself may be larger than it seems, as a postcard for the fictional state shows two separate islands rather than one large landmass. Is that Michael's boat?Finally, at one point in the trailer, we see a nice boat sitting on a rig in a storage yard. A few smart GTA theorists went back and checked, and the boat bears a striking resemblance to the boat owned by Michael De Santa, one of three protagonists from GTA V. Whether or not there's a connection between GTA VI and its predecessors, in any capacity, remains to be seen, though this would continue the tradition of GTA games making cheeky references to their predecessors.
