The second trailer of GTA 6 It is full of details (we have counted 89!), But it has also unleashed a Avalanche of theories of fans, since the community analyzes each frame in search of clues about what to expect when the most anticipated game in history finally comes out on May 26, 2026 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/s.
Followers of GTA In social networks, discord, forums, reddit and other spaces are sharing their speculation, being trailer 2 the most recent reference they have.
Let’s start with a fun reference to Red Dead Redemption 2 that has led some, once again, to theorize that the worlds of GTA y Red Dead exist Within the same universe. People with a good eye noticed that the presidents that appear in the tickets seen in a capture of the club in GTA 6 They are the same that appear on cigarette cards Red Dead Redemption 2 (Thaddeus Waxman y Franklin Hardin).
It is worth noting that this is An incidental detail, And that the fact that GTA y Red Dead exists in the same universe It does not mean much At the end of the day (although some are already suggesting that Jason could be a descendant of Arthur Morgan, since both look a bit). But show that There are connections Between the two franchises of Rockstar They could strengthen even more when this new installment is launched.
If it is true, it could be that GTA 6 Include two of these sections: one for Jason and one for Lucia, the second playable protagonist of the game. The theory here is that GTA 6 will present a similar moment of transition to the gameplay for Lucia, helping the player to become familiar with the double protagonist system Before the temporary jump that shows Lucia leaving prison.
Continuing with this, fans are also looking at an image transition on the official website of the game, recently updated, where the camera revolves from Focus Jason to focus on Lucia While both hug.
Some wonder if this is a character selection screen that could appear when you start the game. The expectation is that you can alternate between Jason and Lucia during the gameplay, but maybe GTA 6 Give you the opportunity to choose between the two when you return to the game, and if so, this could be what we will see.
There are all kinds of theories about the nature of the relationship between Jason and Lucia and where history will take them. I have seen everything, from speculations that Jason is an undercover police to theories that Jason or Lucia, or perhaps even both die at the end of the story. The majority seems convinced that at some point, whether Jason or Lucia will betray the other, which would be a criminal act. We may have the option to choose through an alternative final system.
A note about the theory that Jason is a policeman: Jason tells the Security Guard of the prison, when he is going to pick up Lucia, that may have been there before. How of course? Later, an older policeman says: “We, the police, have to protect each other”, before the trailer cuts Jason shooting a moving car.
-This gives way to the theory that GTA 6 could include a third playable character that Rockstar He is keeping a secret to be a surprise for fans, and that this older police could be said character. Could you change the perspective to a policeman who chases Jason and Lucia during the story?
Now, this is a fairly absurd fans theory: GTA’s previous games are films within the world of GTA 6. Phil Cassidy, the arms dealer Vice City y GTA 3is at the center of this theory. In those games he lacks an arm, but there is a character that appears on Jason’s television during the GTA 6 trailer that looks a lot like Cassidy, except that he has both arms.
Are there parallel universes in this franchise? How is that about GTA 6?
So what is happening here? If this is Cassidy, how does both arms have? Could Cassidy with GTA 6 be the son of Phil Cassidy? Or his grandson?
Adding even more confusion, there is the structure of separate universes of GTA. The saga is divided into three different parallel universes, officially appointed by Rockstar North as the “2D universe”, the “3D universe” and the “HD universe”.
The 2D universe includes the original games of GTA With upper view, developed by DMA Design. The 3D universe begins with GTA 3 and includes its prequels, such as Vice City. And the HD universe begins with GTA 4 and includes GTA 5, GTA online and the next GTA 6, with each game set in the same year it was released. Following this logic, GTA 6 It will be set in 2026that is, in the modern era.
Now, although these are destined to be different parallel universes, there is a lot of crossing between them, with names of shared places, characters, some of Lore, and more. But certainly, nobody expected Phil Cassidy of Vice City to appear in GTA 6, since this makes the idea of the “different parallel universes” less credible.
Then, perhaps the fact that the GTA 3D universe games are films within the current HD universe would help solve these problems. After all, we see what Phil Cassidy seems to be on Jason’s television. Or, this Phil Cassidy is nothing more than a fun Easter Egg that Rockstar He added to generate precisely this type of speculation. After all, this is Rockstar!
The second trailer has also reinforced existing theories that GTA 6 will have robberies, and that has a strong influence of films of Fast & Furious. At one time, we see a truck with an attached vault, similar to the scene of Fast & Furious 5 That does something very similar.
As you can imagine, there are many more fans theories that are emerging all the time while people analyze the trailer in detail. Wait many more during the year we have to wait until we finally have the expected launch.
