GTA 6 Clip Sparks Real‑Life
Tap title to read story
With only a week left before the release of Grand Theft Auto 6, Rockstar Games shared a new gameplay clip via its Instagram stories on Wednesday.
The 15‑second video, originally uploaded by the OnlyInDade account, shows a scene that many viewers initially believed to be real‑world footage.
The clip is a near replica of a video that captured a scene in Dade, but the GTA 6 version features saturated colors, a shaky cam effect, and fewer humans walking about, making it look more convincing.
On Reddit, users debated whether the clip was made by AI, while the OnlyInDade account claims it is 100 % gameplay.
Rockstar has not confirmed the footage is real, but it seems unlikely the developer would share fake footage that could confuse fans.
