The GTA community has been buzzing with speculations and excitement following the release of the San Andreas Mercenaries update.

Others believe it is a strategic move to provide fresh content while simultaneously building anticipation for the upcoming game.

Fans eagerly anticipate the potential inclusion of Caribbean islands, envisioning thrilling hideouts and safehouses.

“We’re definitely getting some Caribbean islands. The Bahamas are only fifty-odd miles away from Southern Florida. I’d love to be able to hide out from US cops there, having a safehouse on some small cay or in the middle of the in-game Nassau.”

Moreover, discussions arise about the connection between GTA 6 and Red Dead Redemption 2, with fans examining leaked footage and anticipating new online mechanics.

“I might be wrong, but I’m pretty sure GTA VI will be “based” on RDR2, from the leaked footage it looks like it’s using the same engine and has simillar graphics. However they might be testing some new Online mechanic in GTA V Online.”
