Rockstar Games released a gameplay clip from Grand Theft Auto 6 that fooled some viewers into believing it was real footage shot in Miami. On November 11, the Florida Instagram account OnlyInDade posted the video showing custom cars parked on a street. The clip depicted Vice City, GTA 6's Miami-inspired setting, with such visual fidelity that viewers initially questioned whether it was authentic video, AI-generated, or fabricated in some other way.
Rockstar shared the footage on its official Instagram Story on Wednesday and liked OnlyInDade's original post. The company appears to have recreated a viral video from last month in which Rockstar and West Coast Customs displayed custom cars in Miami to promote GTA 6. That original video drew comparisons to the game itself. Rockstar has now remade that scene using in-game footage.
Some viewers claim that if examined closely, the sidewalk contains Jason and Lucia, the game's protagonists, recording the video.
GTA 6 launches on November 19 for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
