Several GTA San Andreas Easter eggs have attained a somewhat legendary status among the fanbase, and GTA 6 should draw inspiration from them. Compared to other GTA titles, the Grand Theft Auto San Andreas game had a much larger number of Easter eggs for players to find. The massive game world was a bonus, ensuring that these secrets were harder to find, and thus, more exciting to seek out.
Rockstar should use these GTA San Andreas Easter eggs as a source of inspiration for some new secrets in GTA 6 as it would also help make the game world feel more lively. So, here's a list of some of these Easter eggs they should pay attention to.

GTA San Andreas Easter eggs that should inspire GTA 6
1) Bigfoot
Undoubtedly one of the most popular GTA San Andreas Easter eggs, Bigfoot is what got many Grand Theft Auto players into myth-hunting in the first place. However, Bigfoot, or the Sasquatch, did not originally exist in San Andreas. Despite this, Rockstar acknowledged the popularity of this myth and added him to GTA 5. There's even a mission involving a fake Bigfoot in the game.
GTA 6 should pay homage to this iconic easter egg and hide him in one of the many forested regions of Leonida, the region based on the Everglades.

2) Hidden sign in the Gant Bridge
One of the funniest GTA San Andreas Easter eggs is on top of the Gant Bridge. As you reach the top, there's a sign that says, "There are no easter eggs up here. Go away." There was a similar secret in Vice City, where Rockstar hid a literal Easter egg. Renowned for their snarky sense of humor, hiding such fake Easter eggs in Grand Theft Auto 6 would be right in keeping with Rockstar Games's tradition.

3) References to Carcer City
The Manhunt series may be a bit too controversial for Rockstar today, as they're allegedly trying to be more sensitive with the next game. However, some small references to the games won't hurt, as after all, it has a unique world that's part of the Rockstar Universe. Moreover, Rockstar made more Manhunt references in GTA 5, while several Carcer Gas cylinders appear as GTA San Andreas Easter eggs as well.

4) Zero RC
Most San Andreas players have bad memories associated with Zero, who provided some of the most annoyingly difficult missions in the game. However, his shop, Zero RC, hides some interesting GTA San Andreas Easter eggs, namely, several action figures of characters from Vice City and Manhunt inside.
Rockstar should bring back Zero RC in Grand Theft Auto VI, making it a hub for several different Easter eggs.

5) References to the old Vice City
GTA 6 is set in Leonida, with the center of attention being Vice City. Although the trailer confirms that this HD Universe rendition is set to be very different, Rockstar should still pay homage to the original Vice City. In fact, the 3D Universe Vice City has been referenced many times as GTA San Andreas Easter eggs, with the map itself appearing in some places.
