You might think that with GTA VI coming out this year, that fans would have stopped picking apart the first trailer and speculating on what we’ll see when the game launches.
Without a second trailer to help paint a clearer picture, it will carry on for some time yet, and fans are currently wondering how social media will play a part in GTA VI.
Please, John Rockstar, can we have another trailer for GTA 6?
Throughout the first trailer, we saw plenty of shots featuring Twitter-style posts and Instagram parodies, and this has led some to think the game will feature influencer culture.

Going further down that rabbit hole, it’s not a stretch to see Rockstar Games creating parodies of influencers and YouTube celebrities.
One fan wonders, “Since it includes Social Media, it will most likely include some parodies of famous influencers like Mr. Beast.”
In reply, Bradyla123 says, “A big final heist, robbing Mr. Beast would go hard.”
I hope Rockstar Games is on the same wavelength as their players, because that heist would be a riot.

With many remembering how much the developers love to roast celebrities, plenty of fans would like to see the influencer life be taken to task.
“Hopefully it rips them to shreds. That's a part of our culture that needs to stop,” said maksigm.
Another user chimes in with, “I’m hoping they’ll have influencers out and about doing their dumb s**t and that we can knock them out.”
Seeing Rockstar Games skewer online culture will likely be a large part of the game, with a social commentary on how it corrupts, perhaps even playing a part in the protagonist’s lives.

While crime is obviously a big part of the franchise, Grand Theft Auto has always had an edge, and the writers and designers aren’t afraid of using parody and satire to examine the larger parts of society.
