In today’s video, MrBossFTW dives into the universe of Grand Theft Auto 6 and explains why certain characters, like Tommy Vercetti, won’t be making an appearance. The video covers the different eras of the game and how each era has its own separate universe. Characters that physically appear in one universe cannot appear in another, with a few exceptions for characters that don’t appear in physical form or only appear in name. Rockstar Games confirmed this rule in a Q&A session. While there may be references to characters from previous games, players won’t see their physical presence in the upcoming GTA 6.

Key Takeaways:
- Grand Theft Auto games take place across three separate universes.
- Characters that physically appear in one universe cannot appear in another.
- Exceptions are made for characters that don’t appear in physical form or only appear in name.
- Rockstar Games confirmed this rule in a Q&A session.
The Universe of Grand Theft Auto
The video starts by explaining the different eras of Grand Theft Auto, starting with the 2D era, followed by the 3D era, and finally the HD era. Each era has its own timeline and universe, with characters appearing only within their respective eras. The 2D era consists of games like Grand Theft Auto London 1961 and Grand Theft Auto 2, while the 3D era includes games like Grand Theft Auto Vice City and Grand Theft Auto San Andreas.
Character Limitations in Different Universes
MrBossFTW emphasizes that characters from previous universes cannot physically appear in later games. This means that iconic characters like Tommy Vercetti from Grand Theft Auto Vice City won’t be making a return in GTA 6. However, there may be references to these characters, such as hearing their voices on the radio or seeing their pictures on billboards or advertisements. The video also mentions that characters from the HD era, such as those from Grand Theft Auto 4 and Grand Theft Auto 5, have the potential to return in future games.
The Importance of Universe Separation
The video concludes by discussing the significance of separating universes in the Grand Theft Auto series. This rule allows new characters, like Jason and Lucia in GTA 6, to take the spotlight and prevents overshadowing by beloved characters from previous games. It also allows Rockstar Games to create Easter eggs and references to fan-favorite characters without physically bringing them back. The video ends with speculation about possible Easter eggs related to Tommy Vercetti’s mansion in GTA 6.
