IGN

Rockstar Games official GTA VI media

NBA 2K27 dropped a deliberate teaser at the end of its Season 1 trailer: a purple, palm-tree poster straight out of GTA 6's first art, an arcade cabinet wearing both the 2K and Rockstar logos, and the words "Season 3" in the GTA 6 type treatment. Since 2K seasons run about six weeks, that spots a possible crossover right around GTA VI's November 19 release. Rockstar has not confirmed any of it directly.
