GTA 6 Pre-Load video shows an older Gay Tony, fans suggest (rumour)
Rumour, not confirmed by Rockstar
What is being reported
Some GTA 6 fans think the man in a blue tank top and black glasses in Rockstar's Pre-Load Now video is an older Tony Prince, better known as Gay Tony from GTA 4, IGN reported on 11 November 2026. Rockstar has not said who he is.

A man in a blue tank top and bulky black glasses has some GTA 6 fans convinced that an old face is back. In Rockstar’s 30-second Pre-Load Now video of 10 November 2026 he says “Oh, it is so on now”, and fans think he is an older Tony Prince, the nightclub owner better known as Gay Tony, IGN reported on 11 November.
IGN embeds a post by TGG on X: “Why does this guy actually kinda look and sound like Tony? I’m losing my mind, similar glasses, beard and very similar voice.”
Tony Prince was the focus of The Ballad of Gay Tony, an expansion for GTA 4 set in Liberty City, and he later gave out nightclub missions in GTA Online. IGN points to the same beard, glasses and a similar voice, but adds that “it’s hard to say if it really is him” and that it could be someone who only resembles him.
Rockstar has not named the character, and it has not said whether Tony Prince appears in GTA 6. So this is a fan theory, not something Rockstar confirmed. Rockstar’s own GTA 6 videos are Trailer 1, Trailer 2, An Extended Look, the Launch Trailer and the 30-second Pre-Load Now video. Our Trailer 3 page lists all five with dates, and the claim and its status are in our claims register.
