13 Things We Spotted In GTA 6 Trailer 2

Perhaps the wildest moment in this trailer, for superfans at least, is the possible return of Phil Cassidy from GTA Vice City. In the trailer he’s on the TV as part of a gun store commercial.

Now, this is odd because Phil is from the GTA 3D universe (which is all the games between GTA III and Vice City Stories) and hasn’t been a part of the HD universe—the 3D and HD timelines are separate, beyond some stuff crossovers like brands, radio stations, etc. So does this mean GTA 6 is set in the 3D Universe? No, I don’t think so. Instead, I think Rockstar is either teasing fans, and this guy will be named Phil Willy or something different, or the studio is willing to create new versions of past characters for its HD timeline.

Either way, it is very interesting. Will Tommy from Vice City appear in this game? We’ll find out when GTA 6 launches on PS5 and Xbox in May 2026.
