GTA 5’s Michael may be coming to GTA Online

One of GTA 5’s protagonists could be venturing into the popular multiplayer mode.

Michael, the foul-mouthed father from GTA 5, might be arriving in GTA Online.

As first spotted by VG247, datamining expert Rollschuh2282 came across a peculiar scenario starting point in GTA Online‘s PS5 and Xbox Series X|S ports. It’s likely the start of an upcoming mission located outside of Record A studios in Los Santos.

Some hours later, well-known GTA Online updates source Tez2 found an in-game character strolling around the same spawn point between certain hours. The NPC in question is tagged with “movie_set” in GTA Online‘s code. Most fans believe this has something to do with the recent Vespucci Job Remix racing minigame, as it contains loads of classic film references.

Check out a screenshot of the mysterious character below.

All these movie mentions are leading everyone to hypothesize that Michael could make an appearance in GTA Online. Reason is that in The Contract DLC, we learn that Michael is working for Solomon Richards at the Richards Majestic movie studios. Remember that this is speculation, but the evidence is sound.

In any event, something strange is brewing in GTA Online. Incredibly, the multiplayer mode is still popular, even getting a massive content patch last month.
