NBA 2K27 players got their first hint of a Grand Theft Auto 6 tie-in on 25 August, after 2K slipped Vice City palm trees, neon lighting, and police sirens into a Season 1 trailer teasing a GTA-themed Season 3.
The clip, released alongside the game's Season 1 announcement, closes on a scene lifted straight from GTA's world. A 2K Mart storefront gives way to a purple-and-pink skyline, seagulls, and two arcade cabinets stamped 'Season 3' and carrying the 2K and Rockstar Games logos. The palm tree graphic matches artwork Rockstar first shared in 2023.
