Rockstar posts GTA 6 clip that recreates a real Miami-Dade video
#grand theft auto 6#gta 6#rockstar games#open world
Rockstar Games shared a 15-second Grand Theft Auto 6 clip on its Instagram stories on Wednesday, November 11. The clip closely recreates a video first posted by OnlyInDade, a social media account that documents odd incidents in Florida's Miami-Dade County.
Polygon reports that many viewers initially believed they were watching real-world footage. The release of Grand Theft Auto 6 is about a week away, according to the outlet.
How the two videos differ
Side by side, the original video shows far more pedestrians than Rockstar's version, and its colors are less saturated. The GTA 6 clip adds shaky camera movement that suggests someone is holding a phone.
Polygon notes that the game's beach areas suggest it can render crowds as dense as those in the original footage. The emptier sidewalk in the game version makes it look more believable, the outlet says.
Debate over whether it is real
"this ain’t no gameplay footage this is in real life," one viewer wrote on X. On Reddit, top replies argue over whether the clip was generated with AI.
Rockstar has not explicitly confirmed the footage is genuine gameplay, though the OnlyInDade account says it is entirely gameplay. Some viewers suspect it shows how the world looks when recorded with the in-game phone, a theory Rockstar has not addressed.
