Rumors have surrounded GTA 6 throughout. Since the release of trailer 1, the cloud of rumor has covered the game, exploring different aspects of the upcoming GTA title. A few days before the trailer 2 was released, Rockstar officially postponed the launch of GTA 6 to May 26, 2026.
It’s disheartening, but it has further ignited a flurry of speculation and rumors. Among them, the most discussed one indicates that Rockstar has partnered with Valve to bring Counter-Strike 2 weapon skins to GTA 6. However, this theory was soon debunked.
Initially, GTA 6 was slated for a Fall 2025 release. Rockstar Games suddenly appeared with a postponement news, stating they are determined “to deliver at the level of quality you expect and deserve.” Fans were disheartened, but almost immediately, the drop of trailer 2 fueled their excitement.
Once again, new rumors have started circulating in the community, including the most popular one suggesting GTA 6 will bring CS2 weapon skins. This rumor was started following the drop of trailer 2, and Rockstar Games posted new character bios on its official website. This theory soon gained traction, and on social platforms, players started discussing the feasibility of such a crossover.
The trailer has revealed a lot of new information about the game. The character bios provided a deep insight into the past of the characters, especially Jason’s. As the official bio says, Jason Duval, the protagonist of the game, "grew up around grifters and crooks."
Further, it reveals, “After a stint in the Army trying to shake off his troubled teens, he found himself in the Keys doing what he knows best, working for local drug runners. It might be time to try something new.”
This hints at complex characterization and his complicated dynamics with Lucia. The delay doesn’t seem like it affected the enthusiasm of fans; instead, they are speculating new theories, including a CS2 crossover.
Before this CS2 crossover theory went far, a renowned Counter-Strike 2 skin trading platform addressed this rumor on X (formerly Twitter) and stated, “GTA 6 WILL NOT HAVE CS2 SKINS! Confirmed by the trailer. NO SKINS = INSTA SKIP.”
Fans looking forward to getting exciting crossovers isn’t new, but the crossover of GTA 6 and CS2 is hard to imagine. These two games belong to two different gaming ecosystems. While CS2 belongs to the first-person tactical shooter genre, GTA 6 is an open-world action-crime game. Most importantly, unlike Fortnite, GTA rarely collaborates. It prefers to maintain its unique identity.
The rumor of CS2 skins coming to GTA 6 is denied, but this shows the level of anticipation and excitement among fans even after this delay. Undoubtedly, the postponement has stirred the gaming community, but fans are still equally excited to know more about the upcoming GTA title.
Trailer 2 has revealed a lot about the world and characters, but it seems like fans are curious about collaborations. This specific rumor highlights that as the release date approaches, fans are willingly waiting to get official crossover information from Rockstar Games.
