New GTA 6 Gameplay Stuns Fans

The clip appeared in Rockstar Games' Instagram Stories and replicates a scene from a video by the OnlyInDade account, which posts unusual incidents from Miami-Dade County in Florida. This region served as the basis for the fictional state of Leonida in the new game.

Many viewers initially thought they were watching real-life footage. Upon comparison with the original, the differences become more noticeable: the real video features more people on the street, and the colors appear less saturated. In the game version, the camera slightly shakes, creating the impression that the scene is being filmed on a phone. Meanwhile, the empty sidewalk makes the in-game clip even more convincing.

On X, one user wrote that this was not gameplay but real life. On Reddit, viewers are debating whether the footage was created using AI. Rockstar Games has not explicitly stated that the clip depicts reality, though the author of the material considers it unlikely that the company would publish fake footage capable of confusing fans. The OnlyInDade account claims that the video is 100% in-game footage.

Some fans suggest that this could be what recording the game world through a character's phone looks like. Previously, players had noted the realistic dirt in GTA 6 and graphical details in the trailers. The discussion also touched on the game's 30 frames-per-second limit, which has already sparked debates online.
