GTA 6‘s announcement and first trailer impressed the gaming community. After several leaks, the long-overdue reveal confirmed some speculations about the title. For example, the game was confirmed to feature a female protagonist and take place in Vice City.
While there are subtle references to characters from previous games in many games from the series, adjacent installments are usually not connected. However, it seems like Rockstar Games can switch things up with its upcoming title if a fan’s conspiracy theory miraculously comes true.
Fan’s Think That GTA Online Could Be the Bridge Between GTA 5 and GTA 6
GTA Online has kept GTA 5 alive and relevant after all these years. This is also why Rockstar has ported the title, initially released in 2013, to three different console generations. Fans have appreciated the online game mode, which, as expected, has microtransactions and a live-service model that treats players to new content and even DLCs.
Rockstar hasn’t separated GTA Online from the 2013 game’s single-player universe, as there are characters that appear in both game modes. This includes Franklin Clinton, Lamar Davis, and Lester Crest.
A fan has seemingly put on his tinfoil hat and has devised a brilliant idea that would directly connect GTA 6 with its predecessor via GTA Online. Posting on the upcoming game’s subreddit, this is what the fan wrote:
Fans most certainly appreciated the theory, and the post received triple-digit upvotes. However, it is worth noting that this is all guesswork and should not be taken seriously. Regardless, some fans even suggested changes to the above theory in the comments.
Other Redditors React to this Theory and Share Their Wishlist for GTA 6
With titles like GTA 6, the sky is genuinely considered the limit for the developers. That is because, in the past, the GTA series has been known for causing public outrage and controversy while also boasting top-of-the-line genre-defining features.
Responding to the above, fans suggested changes and shared their thoughts on the above theory. For example, one fan shared that an ending for GTA Online, which is canon and includes a separate character that would be present in the upcoming game, would go a long way:
Other fans also stated why they think the theory was an exciting read but listed out reasons why it probably won’t ever come true because of logistical reasons:
Despite the theory being based on imagination, imagining even one of the characters from the previous games appearing in the upcoming title is fascinating. It would cause fans of the video game series to go on a social media posting spree and boost game sales.
What did you think of the theory proposed by the fans above, and do you have any theories about the upcoming game? We would love to know your thoughts in the comments below!
