- Instagram account Only in Dade shared new GTA 6 footage so realistic that fans mistook it for live-action.
- The footage recreates Rockstar's viral October GTA 6 marketing campaign in-game with the cars.
- It features first-person phone-camera shots that seem to show Jason and Lucia recording with their in-game phones.
Rockstar has unexpectedly shared new GTA 6 footage a week before its November 19, 2026 release, recreating last month’s viral real-life marketing stunt inside Vice City, and it looks unbelievably real. On November 12, the Instagram account Only in Dade, a popular Miami-Dade County-focused social media channel, posted the new GTA 6 footage showcasing some in-game vehicles.
The footage starts with a first-person view of the famous Ocean Drive street in GTA 6’s Vice City, with someone filming the sidewalks alongside in-game cars that Rockstar previously used for a marketing stunt in October. Unsurprisingly, it looks so realistic that fans struggle to tell it apart from real life.
The second half of the footage includes a first-person walking shot, seemingly filmed with a phone, capturing the vehicles lined up by the sidewalk. As for the marketing, Rockstar partnered with West Coast Customs to bring GTA 6 cars to life, showcasing them across Miami throughout October and generating viral social media coverage.
Now, the studio has recreated one of those moments in-game, as fans shared on social media last month, and you can hardly tell them apart. Many players initially thought the new GTA 6 footage was AI-generated, filmed in real life, or fake. However, Rockstar shared it on Instagram, blowing everyone away with how realistic the game looks.
Interestingly, we do get a quick glimpse of the people filming the first-person shots, and it looks like none other than Jason and Lucia, our dual protagonists in GTA 6. The first part of the new GTA 6 footage shows a woman filming from the sidewalk, possibly Lucia using her in-game phone.
The second half shows someone inside a black SUV recording the same cars, potentially Jason. This could hint that players can use GTA 6 apps like Snapmatic to film videos, making it all the more real.
With GTA 6 preloads already underway, the footage gives players something to be excited about ahead of next week’s release. That said, what do you think about the new GTA 6 footage? Tell us in the comments section below.
