GTA 6 Fans Spot a Call of Duty Easter Egg in New Footage

Published On: 3 September, 2026

GTA 6 fans have spotted a fun Call of Duty reference hidden in the game’s latest footage, and it brings back one of Rockstar’s funniest fictional games from GTA 5.

The detail was pointed out by a fan on Reddit, who noticed a San4San character wearing a “Slaughter Hood Ops” T-shirt.

The shirt appears to show a soldier in a pose that closely resembles the artwork used for Call of Duty: Black Ops.

For longtime GTA fans, the name Slaughter should immediately sound familiar.

The fictional game is Rockstar’s parody of military shooters and was already part of the world in GTA 5, where Jimmy can be seen playing Righteous Slaughter.

Rockstar has apparently kept that joke alive in GTA 6.

The new “Slaughter Hood Ops” design looks like another take on the same fictional game series, this time leaning more directly into the style of Call of Duty: Black Ops.

What makes the discovery more interesting is that fans noticed what appears to be Slaughter being shown on a TV in the GTA 6 Extended Look.

The Reddit poster pointed out that the game can reportedly be seen playing alongside other games on a television near the end of the footage.

That has led to a fun question among the community: could players actually play Slaughter Hood Ops in GTA 6?

There is no confirmation from Rockstar that the fictional game will be playable. The footage only shows it as part of the world, so the idea of getting a playable version is currently just fan speculation.

Still, the reference shows how Rockstar continues to carry small details from previous games into GTA 6.

Some fans also pointed out that Righteous Slaughter has been known since GTA 5, so technically this isn’t a completely new Easter egg.

Instead, it looks more like Rockstar continuing an existing joke in the new game.

And honestly, that kind of detail is exactly what makes GTA 6’s world so interesting. Rockstar doesn’t need to put a huge reference in front of players.

A character’s T-shirt, a TV in the background or a fake video game can be enough to connect the new world with the older GTA games.

For now, Slaughter Hood Ops is not confirmed as a playable game in GTA 6, but fans will likely keep checking every piece of footage for more clues.

With Rockstar already hiding so many small details throughout Leonida, this probably won’t be the last GTA 6 Easter egg fans discover.
