Of note, one of the shirts features palm trees and three birds flying off in the distance – this mirrors the official GTA 6 artwork featuring protagonists Jason and Lucia.
“If it wasn’t obvious that rockstar is trolling us idk what is,” one player said.
Another image, with a character wearing a shirt that reads “Dock Tease” includes a woman in a red bikini relaxing in a hot tub and fans think it’s a clear reference to the first GTA 6 trailer.
