Easter eggs are part of every Rockstar release. From GTA V’s Big Foot and UFO references to RDR2’s serial killer mystery and zombies, Rockstar embeds dozens of references in each game. GTA 6 has already shown several — and many more are inevitable. Here’s the rundown.
Confirmed in Trailer 1
- Florida Man references — multiple chaotic NPC behaviors visible
- Viral video / influencer culture — multiple screen captures of phone footage
- Police interaction memes — body cam footage style cuts
- Pink Cadillac convertible — possible Tommy Vercetti reference
Expected Vice City callbacks
The original 2002 Vice City has dozens of iconic moments. Expect at least some to be referenced:
- Vercetti Estate (modernized owners)
- Malibu Club (modernized nightclub)
- Pole Position Club
- Ocean Beach Hotel architecture
- Original Vice City radio station name drops
- Possible Tommy Vercetti name mentions in old newspapers
Expected GTA V references
- Michael, Trevor, or Franklin name drops
- Los Santos news mentions
- Lifeinvader or Bleeter / Yellow Pages references
- Possible Trevor’s airfield-style locations
Series-wide easter eggs
UFO / aliens
UFO references have been in every GTA since San Andreas. Expect at least one alien-themed easter egg, possibly tied to Cape Canaveral.
Big Foot / Skinwalker analog
GTA V’s Big Foot mystery. Florida lore includes the Skunk Ape and Florida Man tales — expect similar mythology.
Hidden serial killer
RDR2’s serial killer side mission was a fan favorite. Expect a Florida-themed mystery (Miami noir crime spree).
Easter Egg vehicles
Hidden one-off vehicles in remote locations. The “atomic blimp” tradition continues.
How easter eggs are typically found
Most major easter eggs aren’t discovered for weeks after launch. The community-driven discovery process includes:
- Streamers exploring obscure locations
- Data miners examining game files
- Audio extraction revealing hidden dialogue
- Texture analysis showing hidden details
Hidden packages / collectibles
Every GTA has had a collectible system. Vice City had hidden packages. GTA V had stunt jumps, letter scraps, spaceship parts, etc. Expect GTA 6 to feature multiple collectible types:
- Florida wildlife sightings
- Hidden cocaine drops (thematic)
- Vintage Vice City memorabilia
- Photo mode photography targets
For PC players
PC modders historically discover and document easter eggs faster than console community. Expect a mature easter egg wiki within months of PC release. See our GTA 6 mods PC guide.
