After years of waiting, countless memes, and maybe a few new gray hairs, Rockstar finally blessed us with GTA 6’s second trailer – and holy hell, was it worth it. They didn’t just give us crystal-clear glimpses of Jason, Lucia, and Vice City; they stuffed this thing with so many hidden details you’d need eagle eyes to catch them all.
We’ve been obsessively pausing frame-by-frame, debating whether that blur in the reflection is actually something important, and generally going full detective mode – all to unpack every last secret for you. So crack open a cold coffee and dive in as we break down every Easter egg we’ve spotted in Trailer 2 and the official screenshots.
1. Jason Fixing Leaks (or, Rockstar?)
Oh, the irony! The GTA 6 trailer kicks off with Jason one of our leads patching up a roof in some sleepy Vice City suburb. When his cranky landlord shouts, “What the hell are you doing up there?”, Jason casually fires back: “Just fixing some leaks.”
Come on, that’s got to be Rockstar throwing shade at all those infamous GTA 6 leaks we’ve endured over the years. And with the trailer dropping out of nowhere? Feels like the devs are having a laugh at their own expense like, “Yeah, we know about the leaks… here’s the real thing.”
2. Weightlifting Easter Egg in GTA 6
Right out the gate, the trailer gives us a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment: Jason pumping iron in what looks like a Vice City gym. But here’s the kicker he’s not alone. The background’s packed with NPCs hitting treadmills, doing curls, basically living their best gym rat lives.
Now, here’s where our collective wishful thinking kicks in. Remember how San Andreas let you actually see CJ’s physique change when you worked out? This little scene has us wondering is Rockstar finally bringing back proper fitness mechanics? Sure, it might just be set dressing… but come on, that’d be such a perfect callback.
3. IRL Location Easter Egg in GTA 6
Classic Rockstar move – they just can’t resist sneaking real-life spots into their games. Case in point? Barely two minutes into the trailer, we spot Jason and Lucia chilling at what’s clearly their version of the Caribbean Club. If you’ve ever been to that iconic Key Largo dive bar, the resemblance is downright uncanny – right down to the weathered wood and tropical dive bar vibes.
But here’s where it gets interesting. Eagle-eyed viewers caught something else in that same scene: a hurricane warning on screen with the name “Roxy” front and center. Now, knowing Rockstar’s love for layered storytelling, that’s probably more than just background decoration. Could this be foreshadowing some wild weather mechanics? Or maybe even a story beat involving – you guessed it – a hurricane named Roxy?
4. Lucia’s Golden Dress Returns
Flashback to that first trailer – remember Lucia stealing the show in that stunning gold dress? Well, Rockstar’s playing with our nostalgia in the new trailer, but with a spicy little twist. They brought the dress back, only this time… let’s just say the context is quite different. It’s that perfect blend of fan service and playful teasing we’ve come to expect from these masters of the wink-and-nod reference.
Smart money says this won’t be the last callback we’ll spot – Rockstar always plants these breadcrumbs for eagle-eyed fans. Who else is already scanning every frame for more of these clever throwbacks?
5. Ammu-Nation Easter Egg in GTA 6
You can’t have a proper GTA game without Ammu-Nation, right? Well, good news for trigger-happy fans Trailer 2 quietly confirms the iconic weapon shop is back in action. But blink and you’ll miss it!
Here’s the fun part: That split-second shot actually hides two extra secrets if you freeze-frame at just the right moment. We’re talking subtle details that’ll have the theory-crafting crowd buzzing for weeks. Classic Rockstar always packing more into a scene than meets the eye.
6. Phil Cassidy Easter Egg in GTA 6
Hold up, did we just spot a Vice City legend making a surprise return? In one of the trailer’s blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moments, what appears to be everyone’s favorite one-armed arms dealer Phil Cassidy shows up in a gun store commercial. Missing limb, wild expression, and all that chaotic energy we remember from the 3D era.
Now here’s where it gets juicy: Rockstar’s always maintained that the 3D and HD universes are separate timelines. So is this actually the Phil Cassidy, or just a hilarious doppelgänger? Either way, it’s classic Rockstar throwing longtime fans a bone while sending lore theorists into overdrive. Bet you five in-game dollars this isn’t the last we’ll see of this guy.
7. Rockstar Puts PS5 Easter Egg in GTA 6
Okay, let’s break down this one frame because surprise! there’s another sneaky detail hiding in plain sight. We’ve got Ammu-Nation, a possible Phil Cassidy cameo, and now… a PS5 and DualSense controller just chillin’ on the left side of the shot.
Now, why would Rockstar drop something that specific? Coincidence? Please. This is the same studio that turned a hot coffee minigame into a cultural phenomenon. Timing feels mighty interesting with their recent Sony partnership buzz, doesn’t it? Either way, props to whoever spotted this your eagle eyes deserve a trophy (or at least a free PS5).
8. Hair and Beard Growth Tease?
Hold up, did you catch Jason’s shifting hairstyle throughout the trailer? One scene he’s clean-cut, the next he’s rocking some serious scruff. That’s no animation glitch.
This feels like a massive wink to Red Dead 2’s brilliant hair growth system you know, the one that had us all obsessively growing Arthur’s beard to Gandalf lengths. If GTA 6 is bringing that same attention to detail to Vice City? Game-changer.
9. Another IRL Location Easter Egg in GTA 6
Okay, this one’s chef’s kiss levels of perfect. In the official screenshots, Rockstar basically confirmed they’re dropping Gatorland the iconic Florida roadside attraction into GTA 6’s version of Leonida.
And can we talk about how specific this is? This isn’t just some generic theme park. It’s that old-school, slightly sun-bleached, “only-in-Florida” weirdness we all love. If this is any indication, Leonida’s shaping up to be Rockstar’s most lived-in, detail-obsessed world yet.
10. Leonida is Not The Only State?
With the latest official reveals, the GTA 6 map is beginning to come together. But one subtle detail in a Rockstar screenshot has fans buzzing a mention of a state called Gloriana. Is this Rockstar’s version of Georgia? Or perhaps even a nod to California? Either way, it suggests that Leonida might not be the only location players get to explore.
11. Rockstar Tributes The Original Vice City Protagonist
In one of the screenshots, Jason is seen wearing a palm tree shirt while standing directly across from the Ocean View Hotel a clear homage to Tommy Vercetti’s classic hangout in GTA: Vice City. It’s a subtle yet clever nod to the series’ roots, and a great example of how Rockstar weaves in nostalgic details. Gotta love a well-placed Easter egg like that!
12. Fishing and Other Activities in GTA 6?
GTA fans have long hoped for more immersive activities in modern Rockstar titles, and it looks like those wishes are finally being granted. While the first GTA 6 trailer hinted at things like beach volleyball and basketball, a newly released screenshot featuring Jason confirms that fishing is officially part of the game. Casting a line in a Miami-inspired setting? That’s definitely a vibe.
13. Lucia Showcases Fight Clubs
In a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment from GTA 6 Trailer 2, Lucia appears dressed in what seems to be combat gear, radiating major underground fight club vibes. Could this hint at organized brawls, brutal tournaments, or high-stakes deathmatches for money? It definitely looks like Rockstar is leaning further into gritty, hand-to-hand action and honestly, we’re all in.
14. Pets? And Dress?
Who wouldn’t love having a pet in a GTA game? A little furry or even scaly companion would be a fun twist on life in the criminal underworld. One official screenshot shows a character sporting a pet on their shoulder, complete with a crown and a flashy outfit. If Rockstar’s letting us customize pets now, I’m already picturing a gold chain-wearing gator lounging in the backyard.
15. Mini-Games are Coming Back in GTA 6
In that same screenshot, we catch a glimpse of Jason playing snooker a small moment that could mean something big. It hints at the return of mini-games in GTA 6, a long-standing fan request. From shooting pool to casting lines, it seems like Rockstar is bringing back those laid-back side activities. And honestly, it’s long overdue.
That wraps up our roundup of all the Easter eggs we spotted in GTA 6 Trailer 2 and the official screenshots. Did we miss any? Drop your finds in the comments below!
