The ENTIRE Rockstar Multiverse Explained

The ENTIRE Rockstar Multiverse Explained.
The Rockstar Games Multiverse has been debated about forever. Does the GTA 6 trailer have an RDR 2 character? Is Red Dead apart of the GTA 5 universe? What about LA Noire, Max Payne, Bully or Manhunt? Is every GTA game connected? Are GTA 5 easter eggs, just that? Today I'll try and answer everything about The Rockstar Game Multiverse in detail.

I really am sorry for what I'm about to say.. it's truly the number one "erm.. actually☝️🤓" moment in our modern society.. Although, I do have to say it. It wouldn't make sense for this to be a show in Grand Theft Auto 5 because GTA 5, and pretty much every GTA in general have usually comical and comedic commercials and movies. L.A Noir might not be the most serious at times, but I'd say it's more serious and dramatic than something in GTA 5.

Carcer City is mentioned in GTA III, before the release of Manhunt on Flash FM, as being "nearby", so probably in the State of Liberty, in the 3D Universe at least.

For 3 and LA yeah. But 1 and 2 didn’t, they only featured real locations just with cars that had different names and appearances to their real life counterparts.

[@Gambito99100]

My theory is that cities and states simply changed their names at some point in the 20th century, Liberty used to be New York and San Andreas used to be California back when Arthur and John were alive, but later got renamed and became what we see in GTA, with stuff as car plates and turism billboards being simply old stuff that no one ever bothered to change (which fits with the running theme of GTA that the US is actually a pretty run-down country), and then when characters mention California and Florida in GTA, they are simply referring to the old names, which everyone in that world understands actually mean San Andreas and Leonida.

[@PalmontCity4life]

Most logical theory

[@musicalhistory4392]

GTA 3 references Miami, Carcer City, and New York I believe. From there that meant both versions of cities could exist. Red Dead takes place in the HD universe mostly because some assets carry over and references like that book. It would surprise me if we don't have references to Saint Denis in GTA 6 since they are the only 2 active franchises with Rockstar right now.

[@JetroYT]

I wouldn't be surprised if GTA 6 has as many or more references to RDR 2 in it.

[@JaysasterGaming]

I wonder what Miami looks like, if Vice City is based in Miami.

[@DgkYogi]

[@BrandonTheOverthinker]

Quick thing to point out with Carcer city, if Liberty City and Vice City are in multiple universes then Carcer City can be as well

[@JetroYT]

Yes, exactly. That was why I said that Manhunt is in the 3D universe, instead of HD because even though it's mentioned in the HD universe in GTA 4 and 5, locations can cross universe, just not characters, so Carcer City can exist in every universe, but James Earl Cash can't.

I genuinely just think at this point they really are in separate universes. I just find the idea of the two cities (Fictional and the Real life) co-existing so dumb that I’ll just pretend that option doesn’t exist and just accept they’re in different universes

[@JetroYT]

I know, it doesn't make much sense until we see exactly what this canon map looks like, but there's too much evidence to support they co-exist with eachother.

[@Splatinum69]

My headcanon is that new york and l.a and any other cities look vastly different from the real life ones, and that liberty city and los santos are the cities we know irl. What new york, florida, los angeles, california look like in the hd universe is a mystery

[@KnightUp138]

​@Splatinum69 well we know that San Andreas is California (and can assume it stills stretches to San Francisco and Las Vegas making it bigger than Cali) and that Florida is in the state of "Leonida" (which is unknown whether it's the same Shape as Florida and stuff)

[@coulahawke1411]

​@@JetroYT There's too much evidence to support you huff your own farts

[@HarhutandChalfant]

My explanation that I would give to that would be that the real life names of the locations are only nicknames or simply other names for the same place. Vice City has the other name of Miami, and New York has the other name of Liberty City. Leonida is commonly named Florida, by Niko in one of the Eddie Low missions in GTA IV. Sort of like how we call Chicago the Windy City, sometimes, in real life.

[@DlK69]

[@edrrrk]

GTA’s United States is so confusing.If San Andreas coexists with California, i wonder where San Andreas is. It’s an island, but then again Trevor implies that the GTA 5 map is only HALF of san andreas when reaching Paleto Bay during the “I Fought The Law” mission. San Fierro and Las Venturas have been mentioned many times in GTA 5 and 4 so maybe we just can’t see the other half. there are also US maps found throughout GTA 5 that show all 48 states except the islands of San Andreas and Liberty City.

[@JetroYT]

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think it's canon that San Andreas is supposed to be an island. I believe it is only like that for gameplay reasons and is meant to be connected to the mainland. But you are right, I have no idea what this world of GTA looks like exactly, but I hope it's something Rockstar confirms one day...

[@manucg8655]

@@JetroYT Although many players think the characters see the map as an island, if I'm not mistaken in some GTA V or Online mission Lester refers to the western or the northern water mass as a river, implying that there must be other cities near them if not San Fierro or Las Venturas or just the rest of the country

I believe Red Dead is in the Grand Theft Auto HD Universe. There are references to California in GTA V and GTA Advance. My headcanon for this is that the names of the states changed recently enough for some old people still remember it and have passed it on to a handful of people.

[@JetroYT]

I don't think the city/state names are changed because it's confirmed in GTA 4 that LC was created in the 1600's or something. But you are right that Red Dead is in the HD universe.

[@gratermccheesy9650]

I tried to map the rdr map and gta map and it could be connected, but the scale is way off. As in 5 different states in the state of Louisiana. I’d argue that the storyline is canon, but in the same way Gta San Andreas and V are connected. The events happened since Dutch’s grandson is canon in gta online along with the German family being the grandparents of El Rubio, the book from Jack Marston, and the Bigfoot hunters grandson, but the map and direct events are likely slightly different. Just pretend it’s a movie adaptation of real events. It’s essentially the amount of differences that would be seen if that were the case.

[@Warcriminalwastaken]

In my personal headcanon, its still two different universes but both the events of the HD universe and RDR happened in the universes. Maybe the names are the only thing different in the universes and the events of the games happened the same.

[@maitreyajambhulkar]

Manhunt and GTA are in same universe. One of the protagonist in Manhunt was born in San Fierro, San Andreas and he returns to the city at the end of the game. Michael De Santa had his first robbery in Carcer City.

[@spaghett1705]

It is covered in the start of the video that Rockstar themselves say that background characters/brands and things on the radio can exist between universes, which makes it more likely that references to California or anything outside the GTA universe on the radio or within advertisements etc. could be considered transient and not tied to the actual game universe it exists in.

[@alexwilder5561]

If you look in the booklet for Manhunt 2 it says that the main character Daniel Lamb graduated from the University of San Fierro in 1985 and there are assets from 3D era gta games found in Manhunt 2 like the Voodoo and the Trashmaster

I always thought that the characters mentioning real life locations as opposed to fictional ones was always used an expression of sorts like when Niko sarcastically mentions he's from Florida to Eddie to making it more obvious that they're joking or exaggerating. Doesn't make too much sense for advertisements like the airport billboard but again maybe it's used to place more emphasize and show how great the fictional place is or something along those lines but that's just my theory.

[@TheDaltonCashShow]

Manhunt happened in the 3d universe... Carcer City just happens to exist in the HD universe as a locations as well.

[@gabrielmeza4780]

[@sachamusica1]

So funny how we as fans are clamoring to make sense out of something that was meant to be overlooked this entire time

[@10Diamonds]

I'm not sure if anyone mentioned this but not only was Carcer City referenced in GTA 3 and SA - it was mentioned on LCS too. I played it last year and came across a radio ad where the caller was supposedly from Carcer City.

[@TheNamesJER]

Okay but where do we stand on which universe to place Rockstar Games Presents Table Tennis?

[@scottoleson1997]

Instead of saying “a wizard did it”, since there are major historical events that happen in the GTA games that never happened IRL, so it’s possible NYC changed their name to Liberty City for some wacky reason

[@Xegethra]

They've been doing this since GTA 1 (It's own theme tune mentions real life police departments despite them having the spoof cities in the game and one rock tune on the Unleashed radio mentions L.A. "Was cruisin' down the freeway with the guys in L.A." Music in GTA 1 was all made in house.) so either names being used interchangeably or the both fake and real places existing, either I can get behind.

[@Arkiasis]

You missed The Warriors and Red Dead Revolver.

[@emanuelespinoza9325]

"The Warriors" is an adaptation of the 1979 film of the same name. It could not exist in the GTA universe.

[@mr.andrew7820]

There is a comercial in Manhunt 2 during the mission Broadcast Interuped about a cowboy show that the protagonist looks a lot like Red Harlow

[@LowTierMarston]

Red dead Revolver is probably in the 3D universe and maybe similar events happened in the HD universe as Red Harlow is referenced in both Redemption games.

[@victorvatari8333]

The biggest thing is maps, what connects these games are the maps, the red dead game's use fictional names for their states, maps dont line up to exist in the same universe. Manhunt is easy, it take place in the 3D universe, but i think it also implies that manhunt manhunt may exists in the HD universe too. But yeah even before manhunt was made or released, gta 3 refernces carcer city so many times with even a tie into events into manhunt 1, manhunt 2 is 3D too but almost no games reference cottonmouth where it takes place

[@theguyinthere]

when you talk about game mechanics between games I.E. la noire when you find the serial number on a gun or the max payne 3 kill cams both being in Red Dead 2 as well as bullet time From max payne being in everything. it kinda makes sense that all these games are connected.

I do have some head. Cannon, things about this universe theory. Like, for example, in the HD univere. The redemption takes place in the past. Grand theft auto takes place in the present and ones like Max Payne and l.a noire Are actually movies in the HD universe. As they were not developed by rockstar but could still technically take place as entertainment

[@emrakultheaeonstorn7430]

Carcer City is first mentioned on GTA III either on Lips 106 or Chatterbox a lady says “In nearby Carcer City”

[@callmeghost316]

I think Rockstar never mentioned that real-life cities aren’t actually in the universe with the in- game counterparts simply because it should be assumed and they didn’t feel like it was necessary to say so. I think posters, license plates, etc that have California, Miami, etc. might just be developers having fun with it because those things mean something to them. Like for instance maybe a California license plate in GTA V is put there with the same numbers that their license plate used to have or something. I save all my old plates every time I move to a new state.

[@jordandeanda6244]

I still dont understand how rockstar says the characters aren’t in the same universe but lazlzo is on the 3d universe radios and is a character in the hd universe

One of my favourite radio stations in GTA SA was WCTR; I remember hearing about Carcer City in a radio programme.I believe it was a programme in which people called and talked to the hosts because I think I remember something in the lines of the host arguing with the caller about Carcer City or asking the caller about it. Nevertheless I remember Carcer City being mentioned in San Andreas.

[@spaghett1705]

Carcer City is also one of the cities on the destinations board at the airport during the first cutscene of San Andreas.

[@aircraft2]

Midnight club is definitely not in the same universe as say GTA because they literally feature LA where as GTA has Los Santos. Max Payne 3 featured a part in New York (New Jersey actually but close enough) and I believe LA was also mentioned by Max sometime in the story. LA Noire I also doubt is in the GTA universe, those references to it in GTA 5 could've been a similar story playing out in Los Santos. Also, its very weird to imagine that in the GTA universe real life cities exist along with their counterparts, so we have what is essentially a duplicate of New York, LA, Miami etc along with the real life version? Very strange

[@JetroYT]

I've always thought that hearing things like New York or California, is just OUR very own universes interpretation of the locations found in the GTA Universe. Kind of like how when we watch movies where the dialogue is English, but the film is set in a different country with a different language that we can't speak. It's just a translation of sort to make it more easily understood without having to learn the language, or in this case learn the new locations.

[@mrpickle-pe2in]

GTA 3 references manhunt and the corrupt police chief Gary Schafer. Las venturas hasn’t been mentioned in the he universe (at least not from memory), Danny from MH2 went to las venturas university. GTA SA I’m pretty sure references sightings of James earl cash on the radio or I might be mixing that up with another thing. Bully has referenced stark weather films through students talking about it.

[@Adamdya]

If the two city canon did exist that would be extremely weird considering how close related they might be, like New York with Liberty city, thats just odd, GTA universes don’t include cities that already have a parody of em like NYC or LA, but other cities around the country might exist

[@christiandulce9376]

While i dont necessarily agree on the co existing cities argument, someone mentioned that the real life counterparts like la and ny could be wild different in terms of landmarks, the location, but not vibes.

Another thing to note are the geographical differences, while gta has always taken place on island cities. Red dead has always remained surrounded by lands like our own real world. So it seems unlikely they're in the same universe

[@Voloxim]

Well allow me to complicate things: As you said, the graphics is what allows to separate the universes. I have a fan theory: GTA Definitive Edition allows for the old GTAs to have modern graphics allowing them to be capable of setting foot in the HD universe now.

I think there are alternate realities along with the universes. GTA IV also shows Las Venturas from the 3D universe on its TV. Miami could be another reality where Vice City wasn't conceptualized.

While I do like the theory, it's confirmed in GTA 4 that Liberty City was founded in the early 1600's.

Strawberry is a town in Red Dead 2, also being found in the city of GTA V.

[@Goldrunner1169]

Strawberry is also a fruit that millions of people consume everyday🤯 we slowly piecing it together

The real question that needs answer is which universe does tabletop tennis take place in

[@jolo6051]

I think there is one game you left out of this theory and that's Red Dead Revolver with Red Harlow. I think it's important since numerous characters reference Red Harlow in both Red Dead 1 and 2. We can even find locations in both games that resemble some locations from Revolver. But, even still, I think the answer is quite simple here. Red Dead Revolver is simply a tale. A story that's been told by the people in Red Dead Redemption where Red Harlow is much more of a legend or just a story than he is a real person. Of course, maybe the story of Red Dead Revolver is based on true events since we can find some locations that tie back to Red Dead Revolver roughly, but that's really it. That's what I think Red Dead Revolver is and what it contributes to the timeline. It's just a western story that's been told by people about a gunslinger on a path to seek revenge on the western frontier that may or may not be loosely based on real events.

Unfortunately, the reason it isn't mentioned is because Rockstar confirmed Red Dead Revolver and Undead Nightmares are not considered canon to the Red Dead timeline, and therefore the rest of the timeline.

[@jolo6051]

Still, I think it would have been nice to have them at least mentioned XD I still don't think they're part of the timeline either.@@JetroYT

[@DanteDevilTrigger653]

Does that mean Earthworm Jim 3D takes place in the GTA 3D timeline?

[@Arkiasis]

8:05 personally I'm more interested in the book next to it "Life In the Hood: Uncircumcised". Why does Franklin have that?

[@toasterboy2003]

Surprised this is made I was thinking of doin a timeline video of the entire 3d universe but kinda hard

[@Mashfi23]

Here's my take on the thing (I have very little about the Midnight Club and Max Payne series, so I'll not include those here): • GTA 2D Universe: no other game • GTA 3D Universe: Manhunt games and Bully (Miami and Vice City both exist) • GTA HD Universe: Red Dead Redemption games (Florida probably has changed its name in the period between 2008 and now; can't comment on California and New York though as I'm not too knowledgeable on the RDR series; Bullworth Academy most likely looks the same in HD universe Bullworth as in 3D universe Bullworth) And also- places with the same name but in different universes aren't the exact same city; it's like New York City in the Spider-Man (video game) universe not exactly having the same layout as New York City in the Prototype universe (and countless other games) So Carcer City in the 3D Universe probably looks nothing like the Carcer City of the HD universe, much like Vice City and Liberty City

[@travismeta3727]

Apparently Bully is connected to GTA and manhunt as well. It’s kinda crazy considering the amount of kids that have to hear news of our characters committing so many crimes lol

[@Pudding175]

With RDR2 mentioning New York, don't for get that it is a state. Liberty City would be the in game version of NYC. That's my best guess 😅

[@mr.andrew7820]

Liberty City is located in the State of Liberty

[@fortendo0207]

if you think about it every 3d gta is in the same universe it just makes sense

[@Zurvax]

It would be cool if they all were in the same all universe but in different countries
