Second GTA 6 clip shows a luxury convoy – here's why it looks so real

After a remarkably realistic GTA 6 scene surfaced on the Instagram account Only in Dade, another clip has now appeared – and once again, many fans initially mistook it for real footage from Miami. But the convincing visuals don't appear to be the only reason the video looks so authentic.

The footage shows several sports cars and customized classics apparently rounding a corner outside the Sahara Arena. Black police cars lead and follow the group, with the police sports car from the first video also visible among the vehicles. It looks like a police-escorted convoy. The blue classic car and the colorful sports cars around it have also appeared before.

Rockstar appears to have fooled fans once again. On Reddit, many users say they initially thought the video was real footage or at least AI-generated. Beyond the graphics, several small details help make the scene feel convincing. The slightly shaky camera movement, for example, gives it the look of an ordinary smartphone recording. The lighting and camera angle likely contribute to the effect as well.

In the first clip, the NPCs also add to the realism through their surprisingly natural behavior. While some stop to film the luxury cars, others simply go about their day, walking past, jogging or recording their own social media videos. Combined with the lifelike animations, which are also discussed in the recent preview of The Guardian's exclusive GTA 6 feature, these everyday details make the scene feel remarkably believable.

It's worth noting that Rockstar has yet to officially confirm that the footage comes from GTA 6. However, the studio did share the first video in its Instagram Story. That hasn't happened with the second clip so far, although few in the community seem to doubt its authenticity.
