One of GTA’s most entertaining details is its in-game internet, packed with parody sites that hilariously mirror real-world platforms. With GTA VI on the horizon, it looks like Rockstar is preparing to expand this feature even further. Recently, several domains were spotted registered under Take-Two Interactive (Rockstar’s parent company), hinting at new in-game sites and apps.
Let’s take a look at some of the most interesting finds!
what-up.app
A clear parody of WhatsApp, this app was even referenced in the infamous 2022 leaks with messages popping up in gameplay. Expect it to be GTA VI’s main messaging platform, much like Lifeinvader was their take on Facebook.
rydeme.app
Likely Rockstar’s version of Uber or Lyft. Instead of flagging taxis, players might be able to call for ridesharing within the game world – a very 2020s twist.
buckme.app
Still a mystery, but many fans believe it could parody platforms like OnlyFans. Given Rockstar’s history of satirical adult humor, this one wouldn’t be a surprise.
leonidagov.org
This looks like the official government website for the fictional state of Leonida (GTA VI’s setting). It could host parody political content, tourism info, or even play a role in missions and heists.
brianandbradley.com
Unclear for now, though it might connect to Brian – the character linked to Brian’s Boat Works in trailers. Could this be a personal or business site with story connections?
hookers-galore.com
In true Rockstar fashion, not much explanation needed here. Expect adult-themed satire.
wipeoutcornskin.com & myboyhasacreepycorndog.com
These bizarre domains are exactly the kind of absurd humor Rockstar loves to slip into GTA’s internet. Likely throwaway parody sites for comic relief.
Could This Leak Be True?
- Take-Two Interactive officially registered these domains, not random fans.
- One of them (what-up.app) has already been spotted in leaked gameplay footage, which adds credibility.
- Rockstar has always been quick to claim joke domains tied to its in-game internet. In GTA V, dozens of satirical sites like Lifeinvader (Facebook parody) and Bleeter (Twitter parody) were discovered before release.
What This Means for GTA VI
Rockstar appears to be doubling down on modern internet culture in GTA VI. From messaging apps and rideshares to influencer-style platforms and absurd websites, the in-game internet may become even more integrated into missions and storylines than in previous GTA titles.
Given the prominence of social media in the GTA VI trailers – showing livestreams, viral videos, and influencer culture – it makes sense that Rockstar would mirror this through an expanded app ecosystem inside the game.
Final Thoughts
With Rockstar registering all these domains, it’s almost certain they’ll show up in GTA VI’s in-game internet or phone apps. While some have clear purposes, others are still head-scratchers – but that’s part of the fun. Just like in GTA V, players will spend hours exploring these hidden gems once the game launches.
What do you think these sites will be used for in GTA VI?
