All the Easter Eggs in the GTA 6 Trailer
Here is an overview of all the GTA 6 easter eggs in the trailer:
Returning to Vice City Roots: Multiple subtle details pay homage to 2002's beloved GTA: Vice City. A parked yellow car resembles one found in the same Ocean View location in Vice City. The iconic Cheetah sports car now mirrors its former Testarossa-like design from early games. Rockstar wants to spark nostalgia.
Parody Brands Abound: Rockstar’s signature satirical consumer brands make their mark. Patriot Beer returns with a logo eerily close to Samuel Adams. Upscale fashion house Sessanta Nove, mocking luxury brand Louis Vuitton, brings its acronym SN back. Sprunk soda remains the soft drink of choice for GTA citizens.
Florida Flavor Added: Since Vice City takes inspiration from Miami, nods to authentic Florida culture abound. A conspicuous Flannigan’s logo represents a popular local restaurant chain. Slogans like “Why 69 when you can 919?” reference Miami’s area code. There’s no shortage of quintessential Florida tropes.
Social Commentary on Deck: GTA’s writing has always woven an undercurrent of social commentary into the mayhem. Here, ads for questionable medications and a “United States of Paranoia” dollar bill underscore satirical societal perceptions. We expect biting cultural analysis behind the next corner.
More to Unearth: With only 90 fleeting seconds to mine for now, devotees still spotted copious references both serious and silly throughout the trailer. Expanding our glimpse beyond the urban playground likely reveals greater insight into GTA 6’s sprawling satire, woven subtly into the fabric of its world.
Welcome to Leonida: Rockstar confirms the Florida-inspired region is named "Leonida". Within Leonida, fans spotted parody companies like "Poach" for hunting regulation and nod to the "Florida Man" meme phenomenon. The trailer leans hard into exaggerating the state's eccentric reputation.
