Rockstar Games released the first teaser for Macca & Friends, the in-game animated series in Grand Theft Auto 6, on November 13, 2026. The 30-second clip introduces Macca the Gator and his wetland friends across Leonida.
Macca is a pink, sunglasses-wearing alligator, but the colorful cast does not make this a gentle animal cartoon. An opening gag has him nearly hitting a crab with a bat. His companions include a hat-wearing manatee and a flamingo, while a talking sun and a human police officer also appear.
Macca & Friends animated cast
From wetlands to a police precinct
The series uses 2D animation, with the teaser visiting Vice City and Grassrivers. Those locations carry parts of GTA 6's setting into its fictional entertainment, alongside an airboat sequence that fits the crew's wetland surroundings.
The closing scene puts the group in police uniforms inside a precinct. Between the bat gag and the costumed crew, the first footage gives Macca plenty of trouble to get into.
Grand Theft Auto VI launches on November 19, 2026, for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. A PC version has not been announced.
Macca already has a merchandise collection
The cartoon's lead appeared in Rockstar's merchandise before this first look at the series. The $399.99 Vice City Collection includes a Macca the Gator figure, a Macca magnetic mirror, and a Chunkee the Manatee shot glass, alongside items such as Oakley Frogskins sunglasses.
That collection does not include a copy of GTA 6. Buying Macca's collectibles still leaves the game as a separate purchase.
