Travis Scott’s new music video for 2000 Excursion has set tongues wagging after fans spotted what looks like a reference to GTA 6.
At 3:56 in the video, we see a car with the license plate “GTA6 VI6.” That is, undoubtedly, a GTA 6 reference, but is it a tease for the rapper’s appearance in the game? That feels unlikely, given the strict control developer Rockstar employs over everything related to GTA that is public-facing. Perhaps it’s just an Easter egg, or a joke.
Either way, GTA 6 fans are speculating that Travis Scott will now appear in GTA 6 in some way, either with his own radio station (as celebs have done in previous GTA games) or as a character we see in the game. Perhaps Travis Scott just has a song in the game. Others are joking that the “VI6” part of the license plate means Travis Scott is already excited for GTA 12.
Travis Scott is no stranger to the world of video games. He famously starred in a live virtual concert in Fortnite, which fueled huge concurrent numbers for Epic’s battle royale back in 2020. Meanwhile, Faheem Rashad Najm, better-known as singer-songwriter T-Pain, has confirmed that he's contributing to GTA 6 (in the course of bringing T-Pain aboard, it seems that Rockstar requested he stop role-playing on NoPixel — a popular GTA 5 role-play server that runs on third-party servers).
All this speculation will of course be music to Rockstar’s ears. GTA 6 is the most anticipated video game in the world, and it enjoys more fan theories than perhaps any piece of entertainment (the less said about the moon, the better). In December, a former developer at Rockstar expressed his delight at the many wild conspiracy theories surrounding GTA 6, insisting staff at the studio will be enjoying watching the community go off the deep end.
While we wait to find out, we’ve got plenty more on GTA 6, including all the details we’ve discovered so far, a roundup of 70 brand new screenshots, and the expert opinion on how GTA 6 will look on PS5 Pro.
