Rockstar fills every game with jokes, parody brands and callbacks to earlier entries. GTA 6 isn’t out yet, and fans have already found dozens in the trailers. These are the best.

Classic brands that return

  • 🍺 Pißwasser. The series’ most famous German beer, a play on “piss water”, returns with an alcohol-free version: Pißwasser Nein.
  • 🍺 Logger Beer. GTA’s “cheap” beer gets a light version: Logger Light Dreich. Dreich is a Scottish word meaning dull and gloomy, a nod from Rockstar North, the Scottish studio behind GTA.
  • 🍺 Patriot Beer, from GTA IV and GTA V, with a refreshed logo.
  • 👜 Sessanta Nove. The luxury brand that mimics Louis Vuitton. Its name means “sixty-nine” in Italian.
  • 📦 Go Postal. The post office, named after an expression for losing it. Its slogan: Collect Yourself, meaning both “pick up your parcels” and “calm down”.
  • 📺 Weazel News. The usual news channel, a Fox News parody.

The Cheetah goes back to its roots

The Cheetah, a sports car that has appeared in every GTA since GTA III, looks like a Ferrari Testarossa again, as it did in Vice City and San Andreas. In GTA IV and GTA V it resembled a Ferrari Enzo.

“Only in Leonida”: peak Florida

Much of Trailer 1 parodies real viral videos from Florida, the famous Florida Man phenomenon:

  • A user called PlanetLeonidaMan and the phrase “only in Leonida”, lifted from “only in Florida”.
  • A man wrestling an alligator, with a warning from Poach, a fictional hunting-control organization.
  • A Spanish-language news story about a criminal given away by a neck tattoo, echoing a widely shared real Florida case.
  • A T-shirt reading “We bite back in Leonida”.

The name Leonida isn’t random either: it honors Juan Ponce de León, the Spanish explorer who reached Florida in 1513.

Jokes for the eagle-eyed

  • 💵 The bills don’t say United States of America but “United States of Paranoia”.
  • 💊 An ad for the drug Angstipan, which “cures emotions”, with fine print full of absurd side effects.
  • 🍺 Pindayho beer, which sounds like a well-known Spanish insult.
  • 🪧 At the Uncle Jacks liquor store, a sign reads: “We no longer accept cash stored in underwear”.
  • ✈️ A plane banner for Nine 1 Nine: “Why sixty-nine when you can Nine 1 Nine?”
  • 🎸 A fan wearing a Dolls of Destruction shirt, a fictional band that could be Vice City’s new Love Fist.

Nods to GTA: Vice City (2002)

  • The Vercetti Estate. Among the Ultimate Edition extras is this location bearing the name of Tommy Vercetti, Vice City’s protagonist. Could it be his old mansion?
  • The pre-order pack is called Vintage Vice City and includes a weapon pattern inspired by him.
  • The neon, the 80s cars in the classic collection and stations playing music from that decade keep recalling the original.
