A Viral Meme Song Just Became the Biggest Clue GTA 6 Is on Schedule

Rapper Skrilla confirmed that one of his viral tracks is making its way to Grand Theft Auto 6 - the news comes by way of Skrilla's recent appearance on Matt and Shane’s Secret Podcast where he mentioned to host Shane Gillis that "six seven" will be on the next Grand Theft Auto title. While the artist isn't as first-party a source as Rockstar themselves, but we're guessing he wouldn't lie about something like this.

Known for its distinctive sound and memorable lyrics, the song spawned the widely recognized "SIX SEVEN" meme, with countless remixes, parodies, and references across social media platforms. The track's catchy hook and unique production style made it an instant hit among meme creators, who used it as background music for countless videos and social media posts.

This announcement carries weight beyond just the addition of a popular song to a video game soundtrack. Music licensing is typically one of the final steps in video game production, particularly for titles from major studios like Rockstar Games. The process involves negotiating rights, finalizing contracts, and integrating the audio assets into the game's framework.

The fact that Rockstar and Take-Two Interactive are already in this step of the video game development process suggests that GTA 6 is very well on its way to coming out on May 26, 2026 with no delays. Rockstar Games has built a reputation for curating exceptional soundtracks that capture the essence of its settings like Los Santos, Liberty City, Vice City, and many more. GTA 6 should be no exception.

If anything, it could be an evolution of sorts - including contemporary internet culture through meme-originated content suggests that GTA 6 is embracing a more modern, digitally connected world, which is something that the first and second trailer heavily hinted at already. Despite its long development time, the game shouldn't feel dated on release.

Of course, Skrilla isn't the only artist to "confirm" their involvement in GTA 6 or be linked to it. Others that have previously been associated with possibly being in GTA 6 including Travis Scott, Megan Thee Stallion, DJ Khaled, T-Pain, and even 50 Cent. Rockstar has not confirmed nor denied anything as of yet and it isn't in their nature to reveal something this "early" on.

If we jump on the copium train and believe what Skrilla is saying, it suggests that GTA 6's development is progressing well through its final stages. Rockstar and Take-Two are expected to reveal GTA 6 -related news within the next month ahead of the company's next earnings call.
