According to IGN, some dedicated GTA fans suggested the song may hint at the storyline, with interpretations revolving around Lucia's manipulative nature leading Jason down a perilous path.

Others speculate on potential in-game locations, such as Gainesville, Florida, owing to Petty's ties to the area. The presence of a "Petty Forever" sticker in the trailer further fuels theories about the musician's influence on the game's themes.

While these theories may appear far-reaching, fans have embraced the song choice, praising Rockstar for paying homage to the late rock icon. Discussions on forums and social media reflect enthusiasm for the song's fitting tone with the trailer's ambiance.

Despite the absence of an official announcement for a PC version, anticipation remains high for GTA 6's release on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X | S in 2025.
