10 Hidden Details and Easter Eggs in the GTA 6 Trailers

Rockstar's GTA VI trailers are packed with references, in-jokes and story clues. From a Tommy Vercetti nod to a hurricane named Roxy, here are ten details worth a second look.

The trailers reward a second watch

Rockstar hides an absurd amount of detail in its trailers. Here are ten of the best Easter eggs and clues from the GTA VI reveals so far.

1. Tommy Vercetti's shirt lives on

A painting in Trailer 2 shows a lizard wearing a blue floral shirt — the exact Hawaiian shirt Tommy Vercetti wore throughout GTA: Vice City (2002).

2. The trunk-weapons homage

Jason and Lucia pull weapons from a car trunk, mirroring the iconic Tommy-and-Lance-Vance moment from the original Vice City.

3. "Just fixing some leaks"

Jason's line delivered from a rooftop is a wink at the 2022 source-code leak that spilled GTA VI footage years early — Rockstar turning a painful hack into an in-game joke.

4. NINE 1 NINE nightclub

The NINE 1 NINE club is clearly modelled on Miami's real-life E11EVEN nightclub, right down to the vibe.

5. Hurricane Roxy

Signage references "Hurricane Roxy," hinting that dynamic extreme weather could play a far bigger role than in past GTA games.

6. A Red Dead crossover on your cash

The banknotes feature presidents Thaddeus Waxman and Franklin Hardin — names pulled straight from Red Dead Redemption 2, tying the two universes' currencies together.

7. A PlayStation cameo

A PS5-esque console sits next to a TV, complete with a controller that looks a lot like a DualShock.

8. Snooker is back

Jason is shown playing snooker, strongly hinting at the return of pool and other minigames.

9. The Metrorail

An elevated train modelled on Miami's Metrorail suggests public transport as a genuine way to get around.

10. Obsessive material detail

Beer with realistic rising bubbles, mirrorlike reflections on car windows — the trailers flex a level of environmental fidelity well beyond GTA V.

None of this is filler. In GTA trailers, the background is the message — and this one is dense with callbacks and hints.
