GTA 6: New gameplay clip surfaces – fans thought it was filmed in Miami

A sunny day, palm trees lining the street and several eye-catching cars parked nearby. The scene could easily have been filmed in Miami – especially since real-life replicas of GTA cars were recently spotted driving around the city as part of a promotional campaign. Apparently, some fans thought the same when they came across a video recently posted by the Miami-based Instagram account Only in Dade. At first glance, several viewers didn't even realize that the footage appeared to show Vice City rather than Miami.

Only in Dade is a local Miami social media account that regularly shares videos from around the area. Since viewers are used to seeing real footage on the account, and the distinctive GTA cars really had been spotted in Miami, some were apparently fooled. In the Reddit comments, several users said they initially thought the clip showed real footage from the promotional campaign.

This isn't the first time Rockstar's graphics have caused this kind of confusion. We recently reported on a side-by-side comparison of a GTA 6 screenshot and a real photo from Miami, where some fans also struggled to tell the game from reality at first glance.

It's still unclear where Only in Dade obtained the footage. However, Rockstar Games has since shared the clip in a story on its official Instagram account, strongly suggesting that it is authentic GTA 6 material. That said, there has been no explicit confirmation that the clip shows unaltered gameplay.

Scene apparently based on a real video from Miami

A side-by-side comparison shared on Reddit places the new clip alongside real footage of the GTA cars in Miami. According to media reports, the original video had already been circulating before the new clip appeared. The similarities suggest that the scene may have been deliberately recreated in the game, although this has yet to be confirmed.
