📱 GTA 6 kan lanseres med en tilhørende app – her er hva vi vet så langt

Rumors are swirling that Grand Theft Auto 6 could arrive with a companion app, potentially changing how players interact with Rockstar’s open-world universe. While the studio has previously dabbled in mobile tie-ins with GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2, those apps—despite decent ratings and download numbers—were criticized for lacking truly impactful features.

If the speculation holds true, GTA 6 could give Rockstar a second chance to get it right and deliver a next-gen second-screen experience.

💡 Companion Apps Are Making a Comeback

The trend of game companion apps seemed to be dying out—especially after Blizzard shut down its World of Warcraft app. But recent developments suggest otherwise. Nintendo recently added the Zelda Notes feature to its mobile app, essentially functioning as a digital extension of the game.

Now, Rockstar Games appears to be eyeing a similar move.

🧩 Job Listing Sparks Speculation

A new job listing at Rockstar North, the studio widely believed to be leading development on GTA 6, has caught fans’ attention. The posting is for mobile app developers with expertise in iOS or Android, which has fueled speculation that Rockstar may be working on a GTA 6 companion app.

While the listing doesn’t mention any game by name, it’s unlikely such a high-profile hire is unrelated to the company’s biggest upcoming title.

🔍 What Could the GTA 6 App Do?

Fans are already theorizing about what features the app might offer. Some of the most popular ideas include:

• A real-world version of the in-game social media platform seen in GTA 6 trailers, where players could share clips and interact via likes and comments.
• An app that mirrors the in-game phone, allowing users to receive in-game NPC texts and calls on their real devices.
• Location tracking, real-time updates, or even access to side missions on the go.

While many of these ideas sound exciting, they may also be too ambitious for launch. Creating a massive AAA title like GTA 6 already requires immense resources, and adding a feature-rich companion app would be a major undertaking.

🎤 Don’t Expect Confirmation Just Yet

So far, Rockstar has not confirmed the existence of any companion app. And if one is in the works, it's likely the studio will keep it under wraps until much closer to release.

Still, given Rockstar’s history of pushing boundaries and delivering unexpected features, the idea of a GTA 6 app isn’t far-fetched. If any studio can pull it off, it's them.

Until then, fans will have to stay tuned—and take the rumors with a grain of salt.
