Grand Theft Auto 6 fever is only getting hotter. Ever since Rockstar Games unveiled the record-breaking second trailer—which raked in over 475 million views in just 24 hours—fans have been digging through every frame, searching for hidden details. The developer has also kept excitement at a boil, dropping new artwork, screenshots, and finally updating the official website with fresh details. Yet, what’s currently captivating the GTA community is a viral finding: a potential Vice City Easter egg embedded right in the first trailer for GTA 6.
The internet caught fire after a Reddit user, One-Calligrapher4869, posted a screenshot in the r/GTA6 subreddit, claiming to have spotted Tommy Vercetti’s iconic mansion—first seen in GTA: Vice City—within the GTA 6 trailer. The post instantly split opinion, with some commenters convinced there’s “almost no way there isn’t gonna be a reference to Tommy or his mansion,” while others voiced skepticism about the blurry sighting. User ryanagainagain summed up the mood, writing, “I hope there’s a s***load of Easter eggs from Vice City!”
The speculation isn’t out of left field. Rockstar Games has a long tradition of saluting previous entries with hidden details and callbacks. Industry coverage and fan blogs have also listed references to Tommy Vercetti as one of the most anticipated tributes likely to crop up in GTA 6, noting that it would make sense for his presence, or at least nods to his legacy, to anchor the game’s return to its neon-soaked inspiration, Vice City. Sportskeeda details possible Tommy Vercetti references that fans are eager to discover, reinforcing the widespread anticipation for such Easter eggs.
While Rockstar hasn’t confirmed anything, some sharp-eyed fans have pointed out architectural similarities and even matched landmarks from the trailer to the legendary Vice City setting. Gamerant has also reported on these findings, suggesting that Rockstar is deliberately seeding hints for the most devoted fans. These possible Easter eggs are far from accidental and may foreshadow a sea of retro callbacks awaiting discovery when GTA 6 releases.
Adding fuel to the fire, other community sleuths have found additional Vice City references in GTA Online’s latest update, like the appearance of a mysterious Tiki statue reminiscent of Vice City décor. This has only heightened expectations that GTA 6 will be packed with nostalgic nods, interweaving the legacy of Vice City with a modern, sprawling open world.
Beyond Reddit, buzz about Vice City Easter eggs has spilled over to other platforms. While there are no official Rockstar responses, Twitter and Instagram are awash with user theories and frame-by-frame analyses, often using hashtags like #GTA6 and #ViceCityEasterEgg. These viral discussions underscore both the dedication of Grand Theft Auto’s community and the impact of Rockstar’s meticulous teaser strategies.
Rockstar Games has officially delayed GTA 6’s release to May 26, 2026, as confirmed by Take-Two. Although any delay disappoints fans, it seems the extra time is being put to good use—the mounting evidence of intricate Easter eggs and layered storytelling is raising anticipation even higher.
Meanwhile, the developer continues to fuel speculation by remaining tight-lipped, ensuring the conversation remains lively. Whether Tommy Vercetti’s mansion truly makes a full return or not, one thing is certain: GTA 6 is shaping up to be both a love letter to its storied past and a blueprint for the franchise’s future.
