The Pride parade is an annual event about celebrating people who belong to the LGBTQIA+ community. It is organized on a large scale in the United States of America, and as Grand Theft Auto titles capture different aspects of American society and culture, some fans have been asking, "Will GTA 6 have Pride parades?"

Not much had been revealed about Grand Theft Auto 6 for a really long time, but then on May 6, 2026, Rockstar Games dropped GTA 6 trailer 2, several screenshots, as well as brief information about many of its characters. Shortly after this information dump, chatter about the game likely featuring Pride parades began taking place on social media.

The image in the X post above (not the original source) is being shared widely with this rumor. However, as far as things go officially, there is no such indication. The character models in the image above do resemble the art style of Grand Theft Auto 6 to an extent, but they seem to be edited or AI-generated.

GTA 6 trailer 2, screenshots, or any other details revealed so far have shown nothing that suggests the inclusion of Pride parades. This does not completely rule out the possibility of the event being featured in the title, as it might be revealed later on, but on the basis of what we know so far, Pride parades have not been confirmed to be a part of GTA 6.
