GTA 6: 7 New Rumours Everyone Is Going Crazy Over

by Ewan Paterson

1. Wait... The Weeknd Might Be Involved?!

Potentially the most bonkers GTA rumour doing the rounds at the minute involves none other than The Weeknd.

The artist, hot on the heels of appearing in A24's Uncut Gems and releasing his fourth studio album in After Hours, has been linked by fans to GTA after posting images of him next to a robot not all that dissimilar to the one seen on Rockstar's website from the other month.

Now, this could all just be one big coincidence, but we know for a fact that Rockstar are huge fans of including celebrities in their titles, and after already appearing in one crime caper just this year, would it be too much of a stretch to suggest that the Weeknd might just be in GTA VI?

This is obviously just all speculation right now, but it's a fascinating coincidence at worst and a potential tease of the next title at best. Plus, after that fake GTA VI teaser featuring Blinding Lights, it's hard to argue that the Weeknd wouldn't be a great fit for an eighties-era GTA sequel - especially one that lays its roots down in Vice City.

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.
