GTA IV character may appear in GTA 6

Rumors of a possible connection between GTA 4 and the upcoming GTA 6 have once again excited fans of the Grand Theft Auto franchise. One of the characters from the iconic fourth installment, Jerry Kapowitz, may appear in the next Rockstar game.

Released in 2008, Grand Theft Auto IV was an important milestone in the development of the series, and its characters are remembered by many. Despite its success, GTA 4 did not receive a significant update, unlike GTA 5, which remains one of the best-selling games with over 200 million copies sold. Now, players’ attention is focused on the next installment, and Kapowitz’s return may be a pleasant surprise.

The rumors were fueled by user Ryder S on the social network X, who recalled the storyline of Jerry Kapowitz from the add-on The Ballad of Gay Tony (TBoGT). Kapowitz is a homeless veteran who managed to find diamonds and began planning a move to Vice City. His dream is to open a gun and liquor store, which fits perfectly with the atmosphere of the proposed GTA 6 location.

Given Rockstar Games’ tradition of detailing its worlds and returning references to past games, Kapowitz’s appearance seems logical. In addition, the time period allows for the inclusion of the character: GTA 4 takes place in 2008, and GTA 6 will likely unfold later, but within the life path of many of the heroes of the previous games.

It is important to note that this is only speculation for now, and Rockstar has not confirmed any details. However, the studio occasionally uses characters from previous games to strengthen the coherence of the universe.

GTA 6 is expected to be released in late 2025 on consoles. Players are hoping for many interesting surprises, and the possible return of Kapowitz is just one of them.
