GTA 6 Footage So Realistic Fans Think It's AI-Generated

nl.ign.com (Dutch) — November 12, 2026 at 08:01 AM UTC

Rockstar Games appears to have shared new GTA 6 footage so realistic that fans initially mistook it for AI-generated content, showing a car parade on Ocean Drive in Vice City that recreates a real-world marketing stunt. The video, posted on Instagram and liked by Rockstar, depicts vehicles and pedestrians previously filmed during an October event where the developer partnered with West Coast Customs to bring GTA 6 cars to Miami. The developer's social media engagement suggests the footage is genuine gameplay. GTA 6 launches in one week, ending a thirteen-year wait since the last new Grand Theft Auto game in 2013. Preloading has begun, and Rockstar previously embedded gameplay in a South Park episode, which also sparked AI speculation.
