The hotly anticipated GTA 6 trailer is out now, and you bet we’ve been watching it on 0.25 speed to try and pick up on any details you may have missed. As with any Rockstar release, while the clip itself is only 90 seconds long, each frame is densely detailed. And we can confirm the Scottish studio’s sense of humour is alive and well, as it lampoons modern American life in a number of different ways.
Below you’ll find at least eight Easter eggs we spotted in the trailer, but considering the game’s not due out on PS5 until 2025, we probably have months to discover more. Is there anything obvious we missed? Did any of these details or gags make you laugh out loud? As always, be sure to shout them out in the comments section below.
Nine 1 Nine Plane Banner

The plane banner flying over the city at the start of the trailer ponders: “Why sixty-nine when you can nine 1 nine?” Rockstar’s trademark sense of humour is in full effect, it seems.
An Influencer's World

Social media looks poised to feature heavily in GTA 6, as we see various clips taken from TikTok-esque apps. But nothing quite screams the influencer age like this sneak peek of a man rolling around in the sand, taking photos of his significant other’s posterior.
Driving As Fast As a Cheetah

There are a lot of cars in the GTA 6 trailer, but the one that jumped out to us was the Cheetah, which has featured in virtually every entry since GTA 3. It’s based on the iconic Ferrari Testarossa, and here it even has CH33TAH as its license plate. Also, notice just to the right, there’s a man sitting on the ground with an iguana on his shoulder.
Viral Virility

As we mentioned previously, social media appears to play a huge role in GTA 6. A large proportion of the trailer consists of footage captured from fake social media accounts, including this one posted by DadBodSquad. It’ll be interesting to see if this plays a role in the actual gameplay loop, and if you’ll be able to share your own TikTok-style posts – or at least “follow” the various characters you encounter.
Emotion Engine

Pharmaceutical companies aren’t going to get off lightly in GTA 6 either. One billboard for a product named Angstipan promises to “cure emotions”. The smallprint notes: “Patients 18-65 should use with extreme caution. Sudden urge to blink could be life threatening. Call your doctor if your erection lasts more than four hours. Results may vary.” The wonders of Western medicine, eh?
A Familiar Face

The criminal depicted here is likely a goof on the Florida Joker, a tattooed man who has an unhealthy obsession with Jared Leto’s version of the DC supervillain. Also, pay attention to the police badge in the background, which is almost identical to the emblem cops use in Florida.
Only on Weazel News

Weazel News, the fictional news station inspired by Fox News, is back in GTA 6. Also, notice at the bottom of the news ticker, there’s a reference to the popular Florida Man meme, which says: “Leonida man sucked up in waterspout demands the city buy him a new suit.”
Pißwasser without the Hangover

Fake beverage Pißwasser is back, and this time it appears there’ll be a non-alcoholic alternative available, named Pißwasser Nein. You can also see just off to the left bottles of eCola as well. We didn’t spot any Sprunk yet, but we assume it’ll feature in the game.
Love Is an Open Door

Considering GTA 6 will depict the entire state of Leonida, and not just Vice City, the detail on this convenience store door is truly remarkable. One notice points out that the business will “no longer accept cash stored in underwear”. There’s also a Tom Petty bumper sticker, honouring the song in the trailer, and a reference to the Illuminati religious cult from previous GTA games. You may also spot the iFruit Pay symbol, which replaces the usual Apple Pay logo you see in most shops these days.
Are there any other Easter eggs in the GTA 6 trailer we overlooked? What are your thoughts on the hotly anticipated game now we’ve gotten our first glimpse at it? Take the Pißwasser out of everyone in the comments section below.

I love how busy with people every shot is. Actual game footage better take this and fly with it. Can’t wait for a hustle and vibrancy we haven’t seen before in gaming.
@itsfoz GTA 5 is still ahead of practically any other game when it comes to the vibrancy and realism of the city.
Oh geez they went there , il see what the modding community will do , disappointing we could of had an 80s styled character instead of the insufferable characters of today 🤦
It's like these haks get in on a writing team oh add this add that no we don't want that! Um the fans do lol
@get2sammyb True that - expecting a lot less barren land this time (although there’s nothing like walking a deserted street with an automatic like you’re some kind of kingpin 😂)
@itsfoz true. Huge crowds would probably be the most nextgen thing for me
The only one I caught, normal speed, was the Cheetah. Instant flashback to 3 star wanted level in Vice City.
The one with the circle drawn around the guy on the beach could also be an Easter egg of the Far Cry series. He looks a lot like Hurk Drubman Jr. a nutty side character featured in Far Cry 3. 4, 5, and New Dawn.
@Mad001 We don’t even know the characters yet. How do you know the writing will be bad? Seems presumptuous, you can write a good satirical story about modern life.
You can practically see how much this game cost just watching the trailer. Outrageous.
@ShadowofSparta saints row got wrecked ,
I'm wanting people like Trevor in it hateful people but funny as all hell and the usual GTA comedy looks to much like the strong female character nonsense they put out today , I want the female lead character to not be annoying aliens Ripley and long kiss goodnights charly not this bestest Eva nonsense. I don't want let's develop feelings I want lethal weapon , die hard type action as in the rest of the gta's I'm not a fan of box ticking. I'm a fine of a good story, officer tenpenny I want CJ back lol
I love how R* make their games so detailed, so much to see, do and hear. When GTA V came out I spent hours just exploring, taking in the sights and looking at everything like stickers, posters, food packets, leaflets etc. GTA VI looks like it’s taking that up several notches and I can’t wait to lose myself in Vice City.
@johncalmc The game could cost £100+ and it would still sell as much as it will at £70. It’s just one of those games that doesn’t make people think about cost, it will be a must have and people will buy it no matter what. It’s clearly now a once in a (console) generation series now.
@PegasusActual93 12 months more like summmer 2025 lol everything I like gets ruined.
If you enjoy it fair play to you 👍
I'm impressed with how photorealistic the graphics are. Now I want to see a action sequence, how it flows.
@itsfoz That is one thing that jumped out at me - like the beach scene would just be cool to roam around.
As someone who hates influencer culture.
I hope I can line them up, and run them over with a tank.
Or maybe head to the beach with a flamethrower
Might have to buy myself a nice cheap can of Dignity...
@Steel76,
Your wishes could come true if the flamethrower and rampages of the PS2 Vice City would return to GTA6. A code for Peds Riot like in Vice City would also be cool, but we are more likely to get a lot of twerking instead.
As far as easter eggs go,not much,albeit one breakdown noted apart from the Cheetah, the Dodo plane & Seaspray Chopper were in there too.
As for whether we'll se tennis,or Off road racers etc.,they seem possibilities. Again though a while to wait on what sort of campaign mode it has & whether it'll require an online account for single player time will tell. (Likewise any classic DJ'S like Fernando).
Although not new for Mafia 3 fans,having Everglades type scenery & alligators & the like is a new look for a modern Vice City setting.
@Steel76 My thoughts and feelings exactly! The thought filled me full of joy after seeing so much social media culture in the trailer.
I hope there’s random instances of those public prank influencers you can answer with explosive shells.
@Hello-Friend
Good idéa!
Or maybe crashland a plane, on the beach, to whipe out a huge group of them, in just a few seconds.
@get2sammyb with a billion dollars worth of development time anything is possible
@ShadowofSparta His name checks out
This looks like it's gonna be so fun. It's gonna be a long wait til 2025.
Look at the bottles on the shelf next to Jason and Lucia. Amazing details.
@Mad001 You sound like you had already decided you were gonna hate this game before you ever saw anything of it.
The dirt bikes in the intersection scream’s Philadelphia.
@theSpectre lol 🤣 naaaaa just anything made at this time has. People that hate the source material, that hate what came before you see it in everything. Starfield got wrecked my fave star trek got wrecked, starwars ,marvel I just want fun in my media and what's Gona happen here isn't any fun. Geez I hope and pray Stargate doesn't get rebooted today theyll have jack O'Neill ( with 2 L's) not the person he is he would be stripped down not the character I remember um luke Skywalker
Drinking green milk , nope wasn't what I remember from movies and the books 🤦🤣 I love seeing gta's portrayal of hateful characters and see how much a ***** show you can do it's been confirmed the stuff I want to see has been toned down 🤦 that's what GTA is this one will be a toned down version of GTA hell lazlow left and a few others a couple years ago. If this what you like all the power to you. #not4me
@theSpectre is that tifa? Final fantasy 7 one of my all time favourites and mass effect trilogy. Have a good one buddy ( I'm just salty my fave ips star trek star wars hot ruined over the years lol) star trek enterprise was the worst star Trek years ago it's a hell of A lot better than the mess they made in recent years lol .
if your into sci-fi Avery brooks startrek deep space nine has all you need in it I love the odo quark friendship and morn!
@Mad001 It is Tifa. She is a goddess and one of my all-time favorites.
@theSpectre that she is can't wait to see more in the next game!
