Grand Theft Auto VI: 16 Tiny Details, Secrets & Easter Eggs

gameranx.com:

The GTA6 trailer has officially crash landed, blowing up Youtube and everywhere else on the internet with a blistering sizzle reel of social media madness. Like a swarm of crabs in Florida, we’re about to descend on this beached whale – because we’re taking a quick look at some of the tiny, tiny details in this trailer. Some of these are definitely Easter eggs. Some are observations, tiny secrets, references to previous games or just stuff we’ll find when we’re playing the full game sometime in 2025 on PS5 and Xbox Series X.

Take a closer look to spot a Patriot Beer truck on the opening freeway. Patriot Beer – or just Patriot – is a Samual Adams-style beer company introduced in Grand Theft Auto 4. Hey, that game even has a Patriot Beer Motor Speedway! Okay, it doesn’t – the speedway is only mentioned in an ad. Patriot Beer is a drink you can buy all over GTA4 and GTA Online. They’re big on patriotic themes, guns and American Flags. No wonder they share a name with the Patriot SUV. 

Here’s a much harder detail to notice. Visible in the distance, you’ll spot a sky ad in the far distance. Zoom in on that picture to see it says “Why sixty-nine when you can nine-1-nine?” There are no products or clubs with a name similar to that in previous GTA games, so what does it mean? Some people think it’s a subtle clue about the proposed released date – September 19th, 2025. But it could also be a reference to a real-life nightclub called “Miama E11even” – spelled with the number eleven. It’s a raunchy ad, what else do you expect in a GTA game? 

Skipping ahead to the beach. This is an incredible image of a lively beach at peak season – the sheer diversity of clothing, people, and activities going on really makes this scene feel real.
