Is GTA 6 Set in the Same Universe as Red Dead Redemption?

No, Separate Universes Confirmed

Rockstar Games has never officially confirmed that GTA 6 or any Grand Theft Auto game shares a universe with the Red Dead Redemption series.

While there are occasional Easter eggs and references between the two franchises, these are widely accepted as nods or jokes rather than canonical connections. The worlds of GTA and Red Dead remain distinct, with no official storyline links, characters, or timelines connecting them.

Both series are set in different fictionalized versions of America, separated by eras, themes, and narrative tones.
