GTA 6 and Red Dead Redemption 2: the same reality in a shared universe?

The theory that binds GTA 6 and Red Dead Redemption 2 into one universe has become one of the most fascinating debates among Rockstar fans, with revolutionary implications for both series. Rockstar Games has always been renowned for creating incredibly detailed worlds, intrigued with hidden references, Easter eggs, recurring brands, familiar places and subtle connections that reward the most attentive players. In no Rockstar game random elements exist, which is why fans like to analyze each trailer, screenshot and environmental detail. Numerous players believe that GTA IV, GTA V, Red Dead Redemption 2 and GTA 6 belong to a Rockstar's "Modern HD Universe", sharing a timeline connected to different eras. Despite the stories being separated for over a century, the numerous quotes have fed this theory within the community. One of the most interesting details is the currency seen in GTA 6: some fans argue that the faces printed on the notes resemble historical figures of the Red Dead Redemption universe. If intentional, this might suggest that characters from the wild age became legendary figures long before the Grand Theft Auto events. Imagine exploring Vice City and Leonida by discovering references to people and events over 100 years before in Red Dead Redemption 2. This type of world-building in the long term is exactly what characterizes Rockstar, making each game part of a much larger living universe. Rockstar has never officially confirmed whether GTA and Red Dead Redemption share the same universe, so for now this remains a fan theory based on the details noticed by the players. However, considering the team's love for subtle narrative, it is easy to understand why this idea has become so popular. The great debate remains: Should Rockstar officially confirm that GTA 6 and Red Dead Redemption 2 take place in the same universe or is it better to leave the mystery as perpetual speculation for fans? Which of the two scenarios do you think is most likely?
