GTA 6 launch hype grows after Travis Scott music video sparks new theory
Travis Scott's new music video has sparked fresh speculation about his possible involvement in Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6), Rockstar Games' upcoming blockbuster title. In his latest track 2000 Excursion, a specific visual has caught the attention of gamers and fans alike, a red Ferrari featuring a Florida-style licence plate that reads "GTA VI 6". GTA 6's neon-soaked Leonida map and new characters promise the series' biggest leap yet, launching in India on May 26, 2026.(Rockstar Games) The moment appears around the 3:55 mark in the video and has quickly gone viral across social media platforms. Given that GTA 6 is set in a fictional version of Florida, widely believed to be a reimagined Vice City, the inclusion of the plate has led to widespread theories that this could be a subtle teaser or Easter egg pointing to Travis Scott's involvement in the game. Mobile Finder: Vivo X200 FE launched in India While neither Rockstar Games nor the rapper has confirmed any official collaboration, the idea isn't far-fetched. Travis Scott has previously collaborated with other major gaming titles, most notably Fortnite, where he performed a virtual concert that was viewed by millions. Rockstar has also featured musicians prominently in past GTA titles. In GTA V, artists like Dr. Dre, Flying Lotus and others contributed music and hosted radio stations. The timing of the video release adds to the speculation. Rockstar has already confirmed that GTA 6 will be launching in 2026, and fans are expecting promotional campaigns to start appearing in the lead-up. Some believe that Travis Scott's video could be part of early marketing efforts, or at the very least, a coordinated nod to what's to come. This isn't the first time artists have been linked to GTA 6. Rapper T-Pain previously hinted at some involvement, and there have been persistent rumours that Drake might host an in-game radio station in the upcoming title. Given how important music and pop culture have become to the GTA universe, these collaborations would not be unexpected. For now, Rockstar remains silent, and Travis Scott has not commented on the speculation. Still, the short but suggestive visual in the music video has given fans another clue to dissect as the wait for GTA 6 continues. Whether it turns out to be a confirmed collaboration or just a clever reference, it has certainly reignited excitement around one of the most anticipated games of the decade.

GTA 4 and Red Dead 2 website updates have fans thinking new ports are coming
Rockstar Games' website currently lists GTA 4 for a console it's not currently playable on, as next gen Red Dead Redemption rumours return. Since Rockstar has delayed GTA 6 until May 2026, it would make sense for the studio to have something else ready, to keep fans occupied until then. While no other Rockstar games have been officially announced, past rumours have pointed to re-releases for Red Dead Redemption 2 and, most significantly, GTA 4. The latter has been rumoured to be coming later this year and in lieu of any formal reveal, it's suspected Rockstar has accidentally hinted at both projects on its website. The purported evidence for these ports comes from Rockstar's support page. Here, you can select whichever game you're having issues with and then navigate the different tabs to narrow down the problem. Yesterday, someone noticed the Red Dead Redemption 2's support page suddenly featured a new tab related to online migration, and they shared their discovery in the Red Dead Redemption subreddit. This is obviously in reference to the Red Dead Online multiplayer mode, except the game has never allowed you to migrate your character and progress from one platform to another before. Sign up to the GameCentral newsletter for a unique take on the week in gaming, alongside the latest reviews and more. Delivered to your inbox every Saturday morning. The website has since been updated to remove any mention of online migration, but the fact it was there at all suggests Rockstar intends to incorporate it in the near future. Considering Red Dead Redemption 2 is nearly seven years old, it'd be a bit random to now introduce online migration between the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC versions. It's more likely this is further evidence of the game receiving a current gen patch for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, and possibly a port to the Nintendo Switch 2. As for GTA 4, a similar situation has occurred there, where its support page now lists the PlayStation 4 among the game's support platforms. Unlike the Red Dead Redemption 2 example, this tab hasn't been removed, at least at time of writing. For the record, GTA 4 isn't playable on PlayStation 4 in any shape or form. The game only ever launched for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC, and is currently only available through Steam as well as the Xbox Series X'sbackwards compatibility feature. The PlayStation 4, however, isn't backwards compatible with PlayStation 3 games and GTA 4 isn't included in the retro games catalogue for PlayStation Plus. As such, this lends credence to the idea that GTA 4 is getting a PlayStation 4 re-release soon and somebody at Rockstar has jumped the gun by updating the game's support page. More Trending It's worth noting that Rockstar parent company Take-Two Interactive doesn't have any new games scheduled for the final quarter of 2025. Mafia: The Old Country is coming out on August 8, with NBA 2K26 and Borderlands 4 launching in September. We can't imagine the company would be fine having no further releases, especially around Christmas time, so perhaps Take-Two will pad out the rest of 2025 with these Red Dead Redemption 2 and GTA 4 upgrades/ports. Rockstar is also financing remakes of the first two Max Payne games, which are in the works at Alan Wake 2 developer Remedy, but the lack of any real info suggests they're unlikely to drop this year.

Death Stranding 2's stunning visuals draw comparisons to GTA 6 trailer
Source: Rockstar Games & Kojima Productions The gaming community is buzzing with comparisons of Death Stranding 2's stunning visuals and the visual fidelity of the GTA 6 trailer. Both games are pushing the limits of what's technically feasible on next-gen consoles, but in very different ways. Death Stranding 2 aims for cinematic realism and realistic characters, while GTA 6 wows with its expansive open world and dynamic city landscapes. Death Stranding 2 realism fuels next-gen benchmarks debate Death Stranding 2, based on the Decima engine, has left enthusiasts awestruck with its cinematic vision for world creation. Richly detailed environments, advanced lighting, realistic terrain physics, and emotionally charged characters make it one of the most visually refined games available on the PlayStation 5. The trailer reveals subtleties, such as volumetric fog, natural motion, and high-poly textures, that push its presentation to near-filmic levels. Death Stranding 2: On The Beach - Official 'Explore. Connect. Survive.' Trailer While that was happening, GTA 6 made headlines worldwide with its mind-blowing trailer that included ray-traced lighting, reflective realism, and thick, living worlds. Rockstar Games' capability to build a colorful open world filled with interactivity, without ever sacrificing visuals, has become the new benchmark for open-world game development. Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer 2 The fans and experts have their say on the comparison Online forums and technology commentators have entered the fray. Some supporters claim that Death Stranding 2 beats GTA 6 in sheer fidelity and cinematic finish, particularly in rendering characters. Others are convinced that GTA 6 is due more praise, given the challenge of generating a seamless, gigantic open world that sustains that amount of visual detail. One Reddit user wrote, " Both games are aiming for different levels of expression. Both will be graphical power houses but one going to tackle life and the other is going to tackle death. They must convey what they must to achieved their desired goals. There is absolutely no games that look like death stranding or GTA because they both have their own visual style and language. " While Death Stranding 2 is best at delivering immersive storytelling and realistic visuals in concentrated environments, GTA 6 leads the way in technical prowess at creating a dynamic and enormous game world. Both games emphasize different strengths, but between them, they represent the pinnacle of what next-gen hardware is capable of producing. No matter if you prefer cinematic depth or open-world immersion, both games are pushing the boundaries of what gamers can look forward to in visual design.

"Ah shit, here we go again": The story behind GTA's most famous quote
Source: Rockstar Games Rockstar Games' Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas released in 2004, and few one-liners have held up so well as CJ's exhausted, "Ah shit, here we go again." What started out as a quote in an opening cutscene soon grew to be a cultural touchstone, taking over memes, social media, and even celebrity endeavors. Let's break down why the generic phrase came to be the internet's boilerplate expression for dealing with yet another headache. Why "Ah shit, here we go again" is GTA's greatest meme line Right at the beginning of San Andreas, CJ returns to Los Santos, to be instantly dumped right back into gangland theatrics. After being hassled, he lets out a deep breath, "Ah shit, here we go again" and we're with him. That one line exactly sums dread and resignation. Even though the game came out in 2004, it wasn't until a 2015 YouTube upload by ZMOONCHILD that the meme began gaining traction online. Jump forward to April 2019: green-screened versions of CJ walking into any situation went viral. One tweet from @ChaoticGeekCG gained thousands of retweets, giving birth to infinite mashups, from Kratos falling into battles to humorous TikToks. Today, the meme runs through subreddits, Instagram reels, and TikTok in fashion, solidly established as pop culture shorthand for, "Brace yourself, trouble's here." How the meme entered mainstream culture and why it endures The appeal San Andreas retains today revolves around its quotable lines and raw yet humorous tone. "Ah shit, here we go again" encapsulates that daily fatigue everyone is familiar with: waking up on Monday, handling drama, or watching a clichéd TV cliche for the umpteenth time. The tone of the meme makes it ideal for innumerable settings and that's why celebrities and even musicians have jumped on the bandwagon through collaborations, remixes, and viral content. Even mainstream outlets such as the Daily Dot feature it as the definitive meme for frustration and burnout. Ah shit here we go again meme compilation From a gritty cutscene in 2004 to TikTok gold gone viral in 2025, CJ's timelessness line demonstrates the strength of simplicity. In fewer than five words, "Ah shit, here we go again" evokes universal sentiments of fear, boredom, and irony. It's not only a meme, it's a mood. And as long as life is going to throw curveballs, CJ's sigh of weariness will remain our anthem.
