© Rockstar Games (opens in a new tab)GTA 6 will have a cartoon that you can watch inside the game, IGN and Polygon report. A 30-second teaser for Macca & Friends came out on November 13. Its description says: “Coming November 19 on WEAZEL.” That is the day GTA 6 launches, and Weazel is the TV channel of the GTA world.
Where the teaser came from
The DiscussingFilm account posted the teaser on YouTube and X and called it an “exclusive first look”. IGN says Rockstar made the cartoon for Weazel, a TV network that was also in earlier GTA games. Rockstar itself has not said anything about the show so far, PC Gamer notes.
According to the description, the show follows Macca the Gator and his friends from the wetlands on their adventures around Leonida. That is the state where GTA 6 takes place, which Polygon calls the game’s version of Florida.
What the teaser shows
Macca is a pink alligator in sunglasses. In the teaser, he has to find money for the rent, because his landlord, a crab, is ready to throw him out, IGN and Polygon report.
Polygon names some of the other characters:
- Chunkee the manatee
- a flamingo that has no name yet
- a human police officer
IGN also spotted a talking sun and a police station. It says the show has “big Adult Swim vibes”, and Polygon says it is clearly made for older viewers.
Macca was in Miami first
PC Gamer says a Macca & Friends mural appeared at the real Burger Shot stand in Miami’s Kaseya Center in October. A billboard for the show went up in Miami too. Both carried the same message: coming November 19 on Weazel.
You can already buy Macca, as well. Polygon notes that the $399.99 Goodtime State – Vice City Collection comes with a Macca the Gator figure and a Chunkee the Manatee shot glass, but not with the game. Our FAQ lists what else is in the box.
How much is there to watch?
That is not clear yet. Polygon says the teaser does not explain how players will watch the show, and it expects clear answers only once the game is out. PC Gamer says it cannot tell how much of a full show Rockstar has made.
Rockstar has put shows inside its games before, PC Gamer points out. GTA 5 had several stand-up comedy shows, and Red Dead Redemption 2 had black-and-white films.
GTA 6 comes out on November 19 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Rockstar’s own trailers and videos are listed in our FAQ.
