GTA 6: 7 New Rumours Everyone Is Going Crazy Over

Do we already know who's playing Rockstar's next protagonist?

Grand Theft Auto VI is coming. It's a matter of when and not if - and it's more than likely arriving after the next generation of consoles drops (hopefully) later this year. Still, for all that fans have had to sift through a near unending supply of rumours surrounding the sixth game over the last five or so years, things have gotten particularly frenzied as of late.

Between updates to Rockstar's website, crafty leakers and careless resume uploads, GTA's player-base has had a lot to sink its teeth into over the last month, giving way to all sorts of wild and wonderful speculation that's implicated everything from investment companies and music artists, to some notorious users on the GTA forums.

Scrutiny reached an unprecedented scale in March, and while an announcement seems like it could still be a ways away, anticipation for GTA VI is at an all time high - hence the eagerness from fans to accept even the wildest rumours and theories currently doing the rounds online.

It's not as if there isn't cause for excitement though. Rockstar are clearly gearing up to discuss something in the coming months, and that something is more than likely going to be GTA-related - it's probably a given at this stage.

But that doesn't mean every rumour is going to come true, and with more plausible leaks doing the rounds too, it can be difficult separating fact from fiction, and fan hype from credible guesswork...

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
