4 ways Rockstar might link GTA 6 to Michael's story
(Image via Rockstar Games)
GTA 6 is bringing us back to Vice City with a whole new vibe, but die-hard fans still have
Los Santos
in their hearts. Especially Michael De Santa, the retired bank robber who gave us one of GTA 5's most layered characters. So the big question is: Could Rockstar be planning to connect Michael's story to GTA 6? It's not just wishful thinking: Rockstar
loves
weaving in legacy characters.
Here are 4 legit ways they might bring Michael back into the picture.
1. Lucia Has a Connection to Liberty City — and So Does Michael
Lucia's backstory mentions her roots in Liberty City, which just so happens to be Michael's old stomping ground before he moved to Los Santos. He was deep in the criminal underworld there before faking his death. Rockstar could reveal that Lucia's family had run-ins with Michael or his old crew back in the day.
Imagine a mission where Lucia's mom name-drops someone who 'disappeared with a ton of cash and left chaos behind.'
Yes, sounds like Michael.

2. Michael's Film Career Could Be Big in Leonida
By the end of GTA 5, Michael is all about Vinewood. And GTA 6's Vice City is loaded with flashy, fake-glam energy. It wouldn't be a stretch to imagine that Michael's movies, or even Michael himself, made it to Leonida's film festivals, tourist traps, or shady theaters.
A quick side mission where Jason or Lucia has to protect a washed-up actor from Michael's B-movie could be both hilarious and nostalgic. Rockstar
lives
for these kinds of meta jokes.
3. A Criminal Legend in the Background
Michael's criminal history is the stuff of legend. In GTA 6, Rockstar might reference him in the form of crime lore like radio interviews, conspiracy YouTubers (looking at you, Cal Hampton), or online forums discussing 'that one bank job in North Yankton.'
You wouldn't even need to see him in person. Just hearing his name or a fake podcast episode featuring 'a retired guy from Vinewood who faked his death' would fire up fans instantly.
Michael And Trevor CAN'T Be In GTA 6
4. Trevor and Michael's Fallout Could Be a Plot Point
We already know fans are speculating that GTA 6 might connect to Trevor's madness, so what if Michael gets pulled in too? Trevor and Michael had a messy breakup in GTA 5. If Trevor's chaos touches down in Leonida, Michael might show up to clean up a mess (or leave a warning).
GTA 6 is all about forging a new path, but Rockstar never forgets its past. Michael might not be front and center, but don't be shocked if his ghost still lingers over Leonida. Would we love a full Michael cameo? Sure. But even a single voice line or Easter egg would be enough to make GTA history feel connected — and that's exactly what Rockstar excels at.
