YouTuber Perfectly Recreates GTA 6 Trailer in Real Life
While we likely won’t hear more about the next Grand Theft Auto for a while, a YouTuber has recreated the first GTA 6 trailer in real life.
Andrew Levitt on YouTube posted a practically perfect recreation of the trailer using footage he and his team captured alongside some already existing clips, showing off the real life version of GTA 6’s Vice City setting, otherwise known as Miami, Florida.
Myriad actors show up throughout the trailer too, playing the likes of protagonists Lucia and Jacob alongside the several wild and wacky Floridians portrayed by Rockstar. The real life trailer opens with shots of Miami itself, with Brickell and Overtown on show, alongside clips of Miami Beach.
Other iconic Miami locations like Wynwood, the Kaseya Center, PortMiami, Biscayne Island, and Ocean Drive all feature too, alongside areas outside the city like the Everglades and Florida Keys. You can see IGN’s breakdown of all the GTA 6 trailer’s real life locations here.
The trailer otherwise featured a ton of intricate details (here are 99 things IGN spotted) and plenty of references to wild and wacky real life events too.
While the game was revealed alongside a 2025 release date for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S, PC players were left frustrated, though not necessarily surprised, that their platform was left off the list.
They weren’t the ones a little peeved though, as several developers from Rockstar itself took to social media to express their frustration at the trailer leaking early. In fact, the entire industry shared their disappointment that the exciting moment was dampened. Several streamers were also hit with content strikes and takedowns in the wake of the leak.
Regardless, it still surpassed Minecraft to become the second most-watched video game trailer of all time with more than 168 million views in the first three months.
