On June 30, 2025, users on Reddit and X (formerly Twitter) noticed a new job posting on the Rockstar Games careers website – a Mobile Engineer. The listing states that the job involves helping to build and maintain the mobile platform and requires experience in iOS and Android development.
The job posting does not mention Grand Theft Auto 6, and Rockstar Games has not confirmed that the position is related to the game. However, the listing was posted by Rockstar North, which is widely believed to be the studio leading development on GTA 6.
Rockstar has previously released companion apps for two of its major titles. The iFruit app, released with GTA V, allowed players to customize cars, design license plates, and play mini-games. The Red Dead Redemption 2 Companion App provided players with a real-time interactive map, access to the character’s journal, and a strategy guide.

There are also discussions on Reddit about whether the app could include social media features similar to those shown in the GTA 6 trailers, which featured characters like Bae-Luxe and Roxy. Users also suggested the app might allow players to manage properties, customize vehicles, or order items while away from the main game.
At this time, none of these features have been confirmed by Rockstar Games.
Reports Say Gambling Features May Return in GTA 6
In addition to the app speculation, recent reports discuss the possible return of gambling in GTA 6. According to an article by Popdust, previous Rockstar titles such as GTA: San Andreas and GTA V’s Diamond Casino & Resort featured games like blackjack, roulette, poker, and slot machines.
A separate article by The Times of India outlines four possible ways players might launder money in GTA 6. One of the four methods listed is using gambling to launder money. The players might buy chips with criminal money, gamble, and then convert the winnings into “clean” funds. However, Rockstar Games has not confirmed that this will be part of GTA 6’s mechanics.
Rockstar Has Not Confirmed a Companion App
As of now, Rockstar Games has not officially announced any companion app for GTA 6. The Mobile Engineer job listing is the only new information currently available.
The listing could be related to other Rockstar projects. The company has released mobile versions of several of its older games, including GTA: San Andreas, Max Payne, and Bully, which may still require updates or maintenance.
In past releases, Rockstar’s companion apps had mixed reactions. The iFruit app received attention for linking car customizations to GTA V, while the Red Dead Redemption 2 app was noted for providing useful in-game tools like the map and journal access.
GTA 6 Release Date and Official Information
Grand Theft Auto 6 is scheduled to launch on March 26, 2026, for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Since the release of Trailer 2, fans have been closely following new developments, including theories and unconfirmed reports.
The Mobile Engineer job listing, Reddit discussions, and third-party reports about gambling are all part of ongoing speculation. At this time, no features related to a mobile app or gambling have been officially confirmed by Rockstar Games.
