One of GTA 6’s Biggest Mechanics Is Named After a GTA 4 Meme

GTA 6 Reveal: 15 New Screenshots, Including 1 Exclusive on IGN

In GTA 5, when switching to Trevor, players would have a chance of seeing the wily character recreating the meme with a frightened NPC. It was a pretty great nod, and now, Rockstar is keeping the tradition alive, though this time with more purpose.

GTA Online has had a mechanic to let you call your car since launch, and Red Dead Redemption also allows you to summon your horse if it’s within a reasonable distance. However, this is the first time players will be able to do something like this without cheats in GTA’s single-player. It’s arguably more necessary than ever, too, as the player’s arsenal of weapons and some other important gear is stored in the trunk of their vehicle. It also means your cars likely won’t be as disposable as they were in previous games.

All of this news comes just three weeks ahead of GTA 6’s launch and two weeks before pre-loading begins. Rockstar’s marketing efforts are ramping up across the globe. Rumors also indicate a PC version of the game is just around the corner, with a reported release window of early 2027. Either way, it’s an exciting time to be a GTA fan.
