There Is a Possibility That GTA 6 and Red Dead Redemption 2 Might Be In the Same Universe

Rockstar Games has been known for putting easter eggs and little details in all of its games. Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6) is the next game from the studio, and fans are already noticing details about the game before it even comes out! The leading theories are that the worlds of GTA 6 and Red Dead Redemption 2 are connected.

Rockstar recently released the second trailer for what is probably the most anticipated game of all time, and there are details in there that you might’ve missed. From weapon manufacturers to presidents on bank notes, you may have missed these little hints in the latest trailer.

Is Rockstar really hinting at a connection between GTA 6 and RDR 2?

The latest and most apparent evidence we’ve seen comes from GTA 6’s weapon design. In the latest trailer for the upcoming game, fans noticed that some of the guns bear the mark of “Duke,” a weapons manufacturer. This is interesting because a company with the same name also manufactures weapons in Red Dead Redemption 2‘s late 1800s setting.

Given Rockstar’s attention to detail, this shared branding is most definitely more than just a callback. While it’s not uncommon for Rockstar to reuse brands between games for stylistic continuity, the exactness of the logo and its prominent placement make it stand out. But that’s not the only thing that fans have found.

There’s another clip from the same trailer with a new hint. In a strip club scene, dollar bills are seen flying through the air, and if you look closely, they feature President Thaddeus Waxman’s face. If that name rings a bell, it’s because Waxman was a fictional president from Red Dead Redemption 2, who governed during the events of the game starting in 1899.

I guess in some way, you could say those games are in a sort of shared universe
