"No way the simpsons predicted GTA 6": Internet reacts to GTA 6 trailer screenshots recreation

Rockstar Games' prolonged silence on GTA 6 has been very disappointing for Grand Theft Auto fans. Many fans expected to see a second trailer, or at least a couple of screenshots by now. Since none of that has happened so far, fans seem to have taken over the job of keeping the hype alive. X user @GTASixJoker uploaded three screenshots (unofficial) from the upcoming title's first trailer in the iconic Simpsons art style, joking about the TV show having predicted Grand Theft Auto 6:

"No way the simpsons predicted GTA 6"

Over the years, The Simpsons TV show has correctly predicted or hinted at many real-world events in its episodes, albeit seemingly unintentionally. It isn't known if @GTASixJoker is the actual source of these screenshots, but their post got a fair bit of attention.

One fan, @ronflexrondou, looked to be quite impressed by these renditions.

Meanwhile, X user @Mobomike questioned why Lucia, Grand Theft Auto 6's protagonist, was blonde in one of the screenshots.

Other X users seemed less impressed and suggested that these were just AI-generated images.

Nevertheless, another X user, @StriX960, found the screenshots interesting despite them likely being AI/fan-made.

More than a year has passed since Rockstar Games showcased anything from GTA 6. That said, Strauss Zelnick, CEO of Rockstar's parent company Take-Two Interactive, explained in a recent interview why the upcoming title has not been marketed much yet.

Strauss Zelnick appeared on Bloomberg's Wall Street Week show and was asked about the secrecy around the GTA 6 release date. He stated that they have found marketing relatively close to a title's release window to be a better thing to do. This seems to be why we haven't got a second trailer or screenshots for Grand Theft Auto 6.

The game's planned release window is Fall 2025, which is still some months away. So, it looks like fans might just have to wait a little more to get new details about the highly anticipated title, but the fact that it will be out in less than a year is quite exciting nonetheless.

GTA 6 will be the first new entry in the Grand Theft Auto series since 2013. While it has been announced only for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles so far, a PC port is expected to come out eventually. Some also hope to see GTA 6 for the Nintendo Switch 2, although that seems less likley at the moment.
