Summary
An eagle-eyedGrand Theft Auto 6fan online has noticed another neat connection betweenRed Dead Redemption 2in the latest trailer for the game. The newest discovery lends credence to the theory thatGrand Theft Auto 6takes place in the same universe as theRed Dead Redemptionseries.
Since the launch ofGrand Theft Auto 6’s Trailer 2, fans have scoured through every frame to try and find any new details they can about the upcoming title. Given the fact that their last look at the game came in December 2023, it’s no surprise that fans want to know everything about the game. There was even oneGrand Theft Auto 6fan who uploaded every frame from Trailer 2in the hunt for new information, which certainly makes it easier for fans to look through and find any hidden details.
As reported byThe Gamer, X user SynthPotato noticed that the weapons featured inGrand Theft Auto 6’s Trailer 2are manufactured by Duke. This weapons manufacturer also appears frequently inRed Dead Redemption 2, with the company’s logo even remaining the same across the two games. This has led some fans to believe thatRed Dead Redemption 2and the upcomingGrand Theft Auto 6are set in the same universe, and frankly, given the time difference between the two series, there’s no reason why this couldn’t be the case.
It isn’t the first hint that this theory could be correct. After the release of the trailer, oneGrand Theft Auto 6fan discovered a differentRed Dead Redemption 2connection, after noticing that the cash on the trailer features the Presidents depicted in Rockstar’s Western title. One reference could be seen as a fun nod to theRed Dead Redemptionseries, but including multiple connections appears to be a deliberate effort to create a shared universe between the two. There may be even moreRed Dead Redemption 2connections hidden in the trailer or the full game, too.
WithGrand Theft Auto 6now delayed until May 2026, gamers still have a while to wait before they can get their hands on the highly anticipated title. Hopefully, in the time between now and its release, Rockstar keeps fans satisfied with a stream of content that offers insight into what they can expect from the game. The 17-month gap between Trailers 1 and 2 was a rough wait for many.
