Even ItsTreDay1 realizes this is a pretty big longshot. Reddit is full of game announcement speculation, and only rarely are they even close. Now, for some, this theory might be drifting a bit too close to tinfoil hat territory. There’s clearly overlap between fans of The Weeknd and Grand Theft Auto. However, that would not be the craziest viral marketing scheme ever. Several commenters thought Blinding Lights would be a great fit for a GTA 6 trailer, leading to its mention in the music video. It turns out that the video took the words on all of the signs from YouTube comments about the song. Still, it was enough to attract the attention of GTA fans. Last year, The Weeknd’s Blinding Lights music video briefly showed an arrow-shaped sign reading, “ GTA 6 Trailer.” The sign was only visible for a few frames, one of several floating across the screen.

Canadian singer-songwriter The Weeknd is scheduled to perform at the Super Bowl Half Time show. Still, it’s possible something more was going on.Īnd ItsTreDay1 has another piece of evidence to support their claim. These were likely nods to the connection between Miami and GTA. Another graphic was almost identical to the game’s logo, while a third referenced GTA’s iconic box art. This included team names written in Grand Theft Auto’s signature fonts. During the big game, the NFL used fonts and graphics similar to the ones used on Vice City’s box art. On top of that, there were the references to GTA: Vice City during last year’s Super Bowl. A Florida-set GTA 6 might mean a return to Vice City, although a GTA stand-in for Tampa is also an option. The previous Superbowl took place in Miami, Florida, the inspiration for GTA: Vice City. This is central to the theory presented by Reddit user ItsTreDay1, who points out that Super Bowl 55 will take place in Tampa, Florida. RELATED: Grand Theft Auto 6 Might Really Nail High-Speed Chases Better Than a NFS GameĪn alleged leak from 2019 claimed that Grand Theft Auto 6 would take place partly in Florida and center around the Latin American drug trade. While even they admit it’s a long shot, they believe the possibility exists.

One Reddit user believes that Rockstar plans to announce Grand Theft Auto 6 during the Super Bowl on February 7th. Well, if one online theory is correct, Grand Theft Auto 6, or at least an announcement, could be right around the corner. While DLC and updates to GTA Online have held fans over for a while, some are beginning to wonder when the next game will make an appearance.

It’s been seven years since Grand Theft Auto 5 was released.
