11Fictional Brands and Parodies22Fictional brands are a defining feature of the Grand Theft Auto series. Every GTA game since GTA III has built a parallel consumer universe filled with parody companies that satirize real corporations, products, and cultural trends. Grand Theft Auto VI continues this tradition with dozens of confirmed brands across every sector of Leonida's economy, from beer and soft drinks to airlines and financial institutions. Some are returning favorites from previous games. Others are entirely new to GTA VI.44The brands listed below have been confirmed through official trailersRockstar screenshots, the official Rockstar Games website, and credible domain registrations attributed to Take-Two Interactive. Unverified fan speculation and brands visible only in the 2022 leak footage are excluded unless separately confirmed in official materials.66Food and Drink88Several GTA series staple food and beverage brands are confirmed to return in Leonidavisible on store shelves, signage, and vending machines in both trailers.1111BrandTypeReal-World ParodySourceLogger BeerBeerGeneric American lagerTrailer 1 (store robbery scene, bottles on shelves)PißwasserBeerBudweiser (American lager)Trailer 1 (store robbery scene)SprunkSoft drinkSprite / 7UPOfficial materials; series staple since GTA: Vice CityeColaSoft drinkCoca-ColaTrailer 1 (visible signage and vending machines)1313Logger Beer and Pißwasser are both visible during the store robbery scene in Trailer 1, where Jason and Lucia burst through the doors of a liquor store. Sprunk and eCola have been series rivals since GTA: Vice City (2002), functioning as the GTA universe's version of the Coca-Cola vs. Pepsi competition.1414Fashion1616BrandReal-World ParodySourceSessanta NoveLouis Vuitton (name means "69" in Italian)Trailer 1 (woman wearing Sessanta Nove monogram bikini)1818Sessanta Nove is confirmed through a woman wearing the brand's monogram bikini in Trailer 1. The brand first appeared in the GTA series in GTA V (2013), where it was a high-end fashion label featured in Los Santos. The name is a crude double entendre typical of GTA's humor. In GTA VI, the monogram pattern closely resembles Louis Vuitton's signature logo pattern. Character customization in GTA VI likely includes Sessanta Nove as a wearable fashion label.1919Vehicle Manufacturers2121GTA VI features vehicles from numerous fictional manufacturers, many returning from previous entries. The following brands have been confirmed through official trailer footage, Rockstar's released screenshots, and the 70-plus images published alongside Trailer 2. For a full list of identified vehicles, see the vehicles article.2323ManufacturerReal-World InspirationConfirmed ModelsBravadoDodge / RAMBanshee, Gauntlet Hellfire, Bison, Buffalo STXDeclasseChevroletTulip (based on 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu)GrottiFerrariCheetah Classic, FuriaPfisterPorscheComet S2 CabrioVapidFordMultiple models confirmed in trailer footageAlbanyCadillacConfirmed as returning manufacturerPegassiLamborghini / DucatiConfirmed as returning manufacturer2525The Declasse Tulip is especially significant: it serves as Jason and Lucia's getaway car in the final shot of Trailer 2. The Bravado lineup is heavily represented, with at least four confirmed models, matching the prevalence of muscle cars and trucks in the Leonida setting.2626Media and News2828OutletTypeReal-World ParodySourceWeazel NewsTelevision news networkFox NewsTrailer 1 (news broadcast graphics)Mega NoticiasSpanish-language news networkTelemundo / UnivisionTrailer 1 (Vice-Dale County prosecution report)3030Weazel News has been the GTA series' primary Fox News parody since GTA IV. In GTA VI, it returns with updated graphics that closely mirror modern Fox News presentation. Mega Noticias is new to GTA VI and is described as the Spanish-language division of Megamundo. Its inclusion reflects the bilingual media landscape of real-life South Florida. In Trailer 1, Mega Noticias covers a prosecution report from Vice-Dale County, the GTA equivalent of Miami-Dade County.3131Retail and Services3333BusinessTypeReal-World ParodySourceUncle Jack's LiquorLiquor store chainTotal Wine / ABC LiquorsTrailer 1 (Lucia and Jason walk through aisles; burst out armed)RONGas station / oil companyChevron / ShellConfirmed for GTA VI; series staple since GTA IV3535Uncle Jack's Liquor appears in two distinct scenes in Trailer 1. In one, Jason and Lucia walk casually through the store's aisles. In a separate shot, the two burst out through the store's doors armed, confirming it as a location the player can interact with and rob. RON has been GTA's primary gas station brand since GTA IV and is confirmed to return in Leonida.3636Entertainment Venues3838VenueTypeReal-World ParodySourceNINE1NINENightclubE11EVEN MiamiTrailer 1 (advertising banner); Trailer 2 (Jason, Lucia, and friend visit)Jack of HeartsStrip clubTootsie's Cabaret / King of DiamondsTrailer footage; owned by character Boobie IkeSahara ArenaIndoor basketball arenaKaseya Center (Miami)Trailer 1 (visible in Downtown Vice City as Lucia and Jason drive past)4141NINE1NINE is GTA VI's parody of E11EVEN, Miami's famous 24-hour nightclub. The venue name follows the same letter-number substitution pattern. It first appears as a banner in Trailer 1, then physically in Trailer 2 where Jason, Lucia, and a third character visit and dance inside. Jack of Hearts is a strip club in Crosstown, Vice City, owned by Boobie Ikeone of the characters connected to the Only Raw Records label. Sahara Arena is visible in Downtown Vice City and serves as the home venue for the Vice City Narcos basketball team.4242Sports Teams4444TeamSportReal-World ParodySourceVice City NarcosBasketballMiami HeatTrailer 2 (Dre'Quan Priest wears Narcos hat in Rockstar promo images)Vice City ManateesFootballMiami DolphinsTrailer 2 (Dre'Quan Priest wears Manatees jersey; aqua coloring matches Dolphins)4646Both teams are associated with Dre'Quan Priesta character described on the Rockstar website as a former street-level dealer who has moved into the music industry. His wardrobe in official promotional screenshots rotates between Narcos and Manatees gear, suggesting both franchises are prominent in Vice City's sports culture. The Manatees jersey uses the same aqua color scheme as the real Miami Dolphins. The Narcos name plays on Miami's drug trafficking history, fitting GTA's satirical tone.4747Transportation4949CompanyTypeReal-World ParodySourceFlyUSAirlineUS Airways / United AirlinesTrailer 2 (jet with updated livery)Adios AirlinesAirlineDHL Express / Iberia (yellow livery, Spanish name)Confirmed via GTA Wiki for GTA VIPost OPParcel deliveryFedEx / UPSConfirmed returning; vans and facilities across Leonida5151FlyUS has been GTA's primary airline since GTA IV. A FlyUS jet with a new updated livery appears in Trailer 2. Adios Airlines has a yellow livery inspired by DHL Express and Iberia, and its name (Spanish for "goodbye") is a darkly comic pun. Post OP is GTA's parody of FedEx and UPS. The name is a double entendre referencing post-operative surgery, reinforced by the company's slogan "No Longer Just Mail" (a pun on "male"). Delivery vans are visible across Leonida.5252Financial Institutions5454InstitutionTypeReal-World ParodySourceSinfrontera National BankBankCity National Bank of FloridaTrailer 2 (Jason and Lucia rob a branch)Fleeca BankBank / credit card companyVisa / Chase BankSignage visible in Trailer 1 backgrounds5656Sinfrontera National Bank ("Without Borders" in Spanish) is the most prominent financial brand in GTA VI. Its branch robbery is a centerpiece scene in Trailer 2 and likely represents the "easy score gone wrong" referenced in Rockstar's official story synopsis. Fleeca Bank, a series staple since GTA V (where players could rob Fleeca branches in GTA Online), appears to return with credit card signage visible on storefronts.5757Take-Two Domain Registrations5959In early 2025, GTA insider Tez2 reported on GTAForums that multiple domain names had been registered under Take-Two Interactive's nameservers. Major outlets including, andindependently verified the registrations. The domains were subsequently moved to MarkMonitor, a brand-protection service commonly used by major publishers to secure in-game intellectual property.6161While these registrations are not official Rockstar announcements, the Take-Two nameserver connection and MarkMonitor transfer make them credible indicators of in-game brands. The following app and website parodies were discovered through this process:6363DomainLikely Parody OfCategorywhat-up.appWhatsAppMessaging apprydeme.appUber / LyftRide-sharing appbuckme.appOnlyFans (based on press reporting)Content platform6565These app parodies fit naturally alongside the confirmed in-game phone system visible in the trailers, which includes a TikTok-style social media feed. Additional registered domains (leonidagov.org, brianandbradley.com, and others) suggest a deep layer of in-game internet content similar to GTA V's extensive Eyefind browser websites.6666Alcohol6868Several alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverage brands appear on signage, bar shelves, and store interiors across Vice City and the broader State of Leonida. These brands parody real-world beer, rum, and spirits companies, continuing the series tradition of satirical product placement.7070BrandTypeReal-World ParodySourcePisswasser NeinNon-alcoholic beerBudweiser ZeroTrailer 2 signagePatriot BeerAmerican lagerGeneric patriotic beerOfficial screenshot, store shelvesBenedict Light BeerLight beerGeneric light beerTrailer footage, bar scenesCerveza BarrachoLatin beerCorona / ModeloTrailer 1 store sceneRagga RumDark rumCaptain Morgan / BacardiTrailer 2 bar scenePilokVodkaGrey Goose / AbsolutOfficial screenshots7272Snacks and Convenience Items7373Convenience stores and gas stations throughout Leonida stock a variety of fictional snack brands.

These parodies target real-world infrastructure, from state lotteries to firearms manufacturers.8585BrandTypeDescriptionSourceAllied CrystalSugar refineryBiggest employer in Ambrosiaprovides most jobs in the countyOfficial location descriptionLeonida LotteryState lotteryFlorida Lottery parody with dolphin mascotOfficial screenshotsDuke ArmsFirearms manufacturerColt firearms parodyWeapon branding in trailersLure and ReelFishing equipmentBass Pro Shops equivalentSeen in Grassrivers area8787Brand Continuity Across the Series8888GTA VI's brand universe draws from over two decades of fictional corporate lore. Many of the confirmed brands first appeared in GTA III (2001) or GTA: Vice City (2002) and have evolved across each new entry. The series maintains remarkable internal consistency: Sprunk has competed with eCola for 20 years, RON has fueled every GTA city since Liberty City in GTA IV, and Weazel News has covered every major in-game event since its GTA IV debut.9191What sets GTA VI apart is the introduction of modern tech parodies (ride-sharing apps, messaging platforms, content creator platforms) alongside these legacy brands. Previous GTA games parodied the dominant tech of their era: GTA IV mocked MySpace and early smartphones, GTA V satirized Facebook, Twitter, and Apple. GTA VI appears set to target the app-driven, gig-economy culture of the 2020s.9393The bilingual nature of many GTA VI brands (Sinfrontera, Mega Noticias, Adios Airlines) also shows a change from previous entries. While GTA: Vice City had some Spanish-language elements (Espantoso radio station, the Diaz drug empire), GTA VI appears to integrate Latin culture far more deeply into its commercial landscape, matching the real demographics of modern South Florida.
