Eagle-eyed fans believe they've spotted a beloved Vice City character in Rockstar Games' newest Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer. Released earlier this week, this highly anticipated preview offers fresh details about the upcoming title, whose launch was recently postponed to 2025. Among the revelations was the official confirmation that the male lead character is indeed named Jason, validating earlier rumors. The trailer also provides deeper insight into Grand Theft Auto 6's narrative, focusing on Jason reuniting with his partner Lucia after her release from prison.

Before long, Grand Theft Auto 6's dual protagonists dive into a new wave of criminal activities across Vice City—a setting deeply ingrained in the franchise's history. Inspired by Miami, Florida, Vice City has been a staple since the original Grand Theft Auto and served as the primary backdrop for 2002's GTA: Vice City and its 2006 prequel, Vice City Stories. While GTA 6 introduces a fresh continuity, fans anticipate numerous Easter eggs and references to past iterations of the iconic location.

One potential callback involves Phil Cassidy, a fan-favorite arms dealer who debuted in Grand Theft Auto 3 and appeared in several spin-offs. Reddit user VX97 claims to have identified him in the latest GTA 6 trailer during an in-game commercial for a gun store. The character shown bears a striking resemblance to Phil, and the shop's signage appears to bear his name.

Many Reddit users concur that the character's appearance and demeanor align perfectly with Phil Cassidy, though some point out that he isn't missing the arm he lost in the original Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. This discrepancy could be explained by GTA 6 existing in a separate universe from previous Vice City-set games—one where Cassidy never suffered the injury that cost him his limb.

Alternative theories suggest the man in the trailer might be Phil's son, continuing the family business. Regardless, it appears Jason and Lucia will likely purchase weapons from this establishment in Grand Theft Auto 6, potentially engaging in side missions involving the eccentric arms dealer first introduced during the PS2 era of Grand Theft Auto.
