GTA 6's one trailer slip-up caught fans off guard; Redditors weigh in with brutal jokes
Honestly, after watching that GTA 6 trailer, who's even thinking straight anymore? Most of us just want to fast-forward to May 2026 and finally dive into Rockstar Games' lovechild. However, an eagle-eyed Redditor user recently spotted a small blooper in the otherwise flawless second trailer for GTA 6. The glitch? A tiny lighting error. In a blink-and-you'll-miss-it scene featuring Jason firing a handgun from a moving car, the light from the muzzle flash appears just a fraction of a second before the gun is actually fired. Redditor Cat_With_Banana96 spotted it and posted, 'Light appears before gunshot. Don't know if someone already noticed it, but wanted to mention it.'

Naturally, gamers did what gamers do best: took it as a chance to have some fun. The replies to the Reddit post were full of playful sarcasm, with comments like, 'Can't believe I was so excited over this f***k*ng hunk of trash.' 'That's it, pre order cancelled,' another quipped. 'Bro, light travels faster than John Rockstar,' one added. Notably, this is the same trailer that wowed everyone with its rich visuals, high-energy chases, and more of the dynamic between new leads Jason and Lucia. The second trailer gave fans a deeper peek into their Bonnie-and-Clyde-style partnership with swampy getaways, helicopters, and a steamy romance. Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick has stressed Rockstar's pursuit of perfection. 'The key thing is that Rockstar Games is trying to create the best thing anyone's ever seen in entertainment, not just interactive entertainment,' he said in a statement.

GTA 6 fan theories are now focusing on the smallest details, from a potential Manhunt tattoo to a background film made by GTA 5's Michael
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. After combing through more than 5,000 frames of its new trailer and analyzing every image available, GTA 6 theorists are now focusing on the smallest of details tucked in the corner of the most unassuming shots – and some fans even think they've spotted references to GTA 5's Michael and arguably Rockstar Games' most infamous series Manhunt. You might remember the GTA 5 mission that sees co-star Michael De Santa fulfil his life-long dream of producing a movie, Meltdown, which you can then watch in one of the in-game theatres. Well, eagle-eyed Redditor Merstty zoomed all the way into an animated image from Rockstar Games' website and somehow spotted the smallest, blurriest version of a Meltdown DVD displayed on a shelf. Michael's Movie "Meltdown" in the GTA6 website images. from r/GTA6 "I wonder if he'll get mentioned during the story," one commenter asks. "By the time the game comes out Michael will have been a producer for 13 years, I think." Others reckon GTA 6 might find some slyer ways to include Michael. Maybe you'll find posters of his new movies around. Maybe you'll randomly hear him being interviewed on the radio. I can already hear you asking over the interwebs, 'isn't Michael kind of dead in some people's saves, though?' You see, GTA Online strongly implies that the 'canon' ending to the game is Ending C, so GTA 5's main trio should still be alive by the time GTA 6 rolls around, as long as they didn't get wrapped up in another deadly heist in the meantime. The other fan theory revolves around Rockstar's Manhunt, the graphically violent stealth series about snuff films. Twitterer GTAVoclock clocked that one character called Cal appears to have Manhunt's Piggsy, a "cannibalistic serial killer who wears the 'rotting head of a one-eyed pig as a mask,'" tattooed onto his knee. Cal's official bio explains that he's deep into online rabbit holes and conspiracy theories, so while it's unlikely that Piggsy himself will show up, there might be some clues littered around connecting Manhunt to GTA. The upcoming game's second trailer has more concretely tied Red Dead and GTA together, already, so anything's possible here. Rockstar says GTA 6 trailer 2 was "equal parts gameplay and cutscenes," and I'm wondering where the gameplay was
