As anticipation for Grand Theft Auto VI continues to build, fans are closely monitoring Rockstar Games’ every move — including updates to its official Careers page. A newly posted job listing has sparked speculation that a GTA 6 companion app may be in development.
The listing, spotted by users on the r/GTA6 subreddit, is seeking a mobile engineer with strong experience in iOS and/or Android development. The role involves building and maintaining Rockstar’s mobile platform and SDK, and includes work on “some of the most rewarding, large-scale creative projects to be found in any entertainment medium.”
Although the listing doesn’t mention GTA 6 directly, many fans believe the timing and wording strongly hint at a new mobile companion app tied to the upcoming title. This wouldn’t be new territory for Rockstar, which launched similar apps alongside GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2.
In GTA 5, the iFruit app allowed players to customize vehicles, train Chop the dog, and interact with the game world outside the main console experience. Red Dead Redemption 2’s app served more as a second-screen utility, featuring an interactive map and Arthur Morgan’s journal.
For GTA 6, fans are imagining even more ambitious features. Some speculate the app could replicate the in-game phone’s interface, allowing players to manage missions, call vehicles, or interact with social media-like platforms similar to those teased in the game’s first trailer.
Other ideas include remote business management, inventory control, and safehouse customization, bringing GTA Online-style tools to mobile devices. If Rockstar delivers on this potential, the companion app could become an essential tool for players — not just a novelty.
As of now, Rockstar has not confirmed any plans for a GTA 6 mobile app, but the job listing certainly raises eyebrows. With the game’s release still in development, fans will be watching closely for more clues about how the experience might extend beyond the console.
