GTA 6 looks surreal in new hyper-realistic clip, fans mistook Vice City for Miami

Another hyper-realistic clip of Grand Theft Auto 6 has surfaced ahead of its November 19 launch, and this time, fans initially thought they were watching real Miami footage. A new Instagram clip has recreated the city’s streets inside Vice City. Rockstar Games has now shared the footage on its official Instagram Story.

Rockstar brings its real-life Miami car stunt into GTA 6

The clip first appeared via a Miami-based Instagram account Only In Dade. The account regularly shares local happenings across Miami-Dade County, making the footage look like another ordinary street recording.

Things quickly got interesting when viewers noticed the familiar cars and incredibly realistic surroundings. Some initially believed it was actual Miami footage, while others suspected AI-generated visuals.

Rockstar ended much of that speculation by reposting the clip on its official Instagram Story. The studio also liked Only In Dade’s original post, strongly indicating that the footage comes from GTA 6.

The short sequence shows someone recording a slow drive through Vice City’s sunny streets. The camera then switches to another angle, showing the same vehicles from the sidewalk.

A familiar Miami promotion gets a Vice City makeover

Speaking of those vehicles, the clip appears to recreate Rockstar’s October promotional campaign with West Coast Customs. The partnership brought GTA 6-inspired custom cars onto Miami’s real streets, creating plenty of attention across social media.

Now, Rockstar has recreated that moment inside the game. The similarities are striking, especially the camera angles, vehicle designs, surrounding buildings, and pedestrians.

Some fans also believe Jason and Lucia appear to be recording the scene using their phones. That possibility has sparked fresh speculation, although Rockstar hasn’t confirmed their identities or suggested a playable phone-camera feature.
