GTA 6’s connection to Grand Theft Auto V has been discovered, and the internet is exploding: “During the store robbery GIF”
Michael’s Hollywood legacy lives on.

Rockstar Games is known for layering its games with Easter eggs, and fans have just uncovered a hidden link between GTA 6 and GTA V. In a GIF from GTA 6, eagle-eyed players spotted a DVD case for Michael De Santa’s movie, ‘Meltdown’, sitting in the background of a store robbery scene.
Michael’s movie makes a comeback
In GTA V, Michael’s dream of becoming a Hollywood producer led to the creation of ’Meltdown’, a film that played a major role in his storyline. Now, in GTA 6, the exact same DVD case appears in a promotional image, featuring the same red title and white shirt design seen in GTA V.
This discovery, posted on Reddit, has set the internet ablaze, with fans speculating whether Michael himself could make an appearance in GTA 6.
What does this Easter egg mean?
While Rockstar hasn’t confirmed any direct connections between GTA 6 and GTA V’s characters, this Easter egg suggests that Michael’s legacy still exists in the GTA universe.
Some fans believe this could be a simple nod to GTA V, while others hope it’s a hint that Michael, or other GTA V characters, could return in some capacity.
Whether this is just a fun Easter egg or a deeper connection, it’s clear that Rockstar is keeping GTA V’s influence alive in GTA 6. With the game’s release set for May 2026, fans will have to wait and see if Michael’s Hollywood dreams extend beyond Los Santos.
