Tommy Vercetti Easter Egg Hidden in the GTA 6 Trailer 2

A GTA 6 easter egg hiding in plain sight has finally been dragged into the light, more than a year after the game's second trailer went live. According to Dexerto (June 22, 2026), X user TheGameVerse spotted a small painting tucked into the background of the scene where Jason confronts a store cashier. The painting shows an iguana dressed in a blue-and-black floral Hawaiian shirt, the exact look worn by Tommy Vercetti, the protagonist of 2002's Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. It is a proper Vice City reference, and almost nobody noticed it for a very long time. What was actually found The detail is easy to miss for a reason. Mein-MMO pins the painting to around the 0:33 mark of the trailer, where it appears for roughly half a second. Unless you pause the frame and brighten it, the iguana is nearly invisible against the darker background of the shop. That is the kind of hidden art that usually only surfaces once thousands of fans have combed a trailer frame by frame, which is exactly how this one came to light. Game Rant also covered the discovery, and the reaction from long-time fans was immediate. Tommy Vercetti remains one of the most recognisable faces in the series, and his floral shirt is iconic enough that a lizard wearing it reads instantly as a wink to the 1980s Vice City era. Is it a real Tommy Vercetti reference? Here is where it pays to separate fact from enthusiasm. Rockstar has not confirmed that the iguana painting is a deliberate Tommy Vercetti tribute. The connection is a fan interpretation, widely believed and very convincing, though not official. The floral shirt is distinctive, the setting is a modernised Vice City, and the timing lines up, so the theory has momentum. It is still a theory, so treat it as an unconfirmed fan reading rather than a Rockstar statement. What Rockstar has confirmed sits right alongside it. The studio's pre-order Vintage Vice City Pack includes a Tommy Vercetti-inspired weapon skin plus other 1980s-inspired content. That is official Rockstar pre-order material, not a fan theory, and it shows the studio is happy to lean on Vice City nostalgia in its own marketing. If you grew up admiring a chrome revolver in the original Vice City, that kind of weapon nostalgia is clearly part of the plan. Why fans keep hunting Easter eggs like this feed the wider detective work that keeps a community busy between reveals.
