The release of Grand Theft Auto 6 is basically a week away at this point. And as we get closer, Rockstar continues to release more marketing for the massive open-world sequel. Its latest move appears to be a gameplay clip showing off Vice City that tricked some people into thinking it was real footage.

On November 11, Florida-based Instagram account OnlyInDade posted a video showing off cool cars parked on a street in Miami. It’s the kind of content shot by people living in and around Miami that the account regularly posts. However, this wasn’t actually a real video recorded by someone in Miami. Instead, it is in-game footage from GTA 6.

At first, some thought the clip was real footage. Others assumed it was AI-generated. Others wondered if it was faked in some other way. But nope, this is indeed gameplay footage from GTA 6 created by Rockstar Games. Rockstar shared the clip on its own official Instagram page as a Story on Wednesday and liked OnlyInDade’s original post, too.

It appears that Rockstar recreated a clip that went around on social media last month. In the original video, Rockstar and West Coast Customs were in Miami showing off some of the custom cars the garage had created to promote GTA 6‘s upcoming release. A video of those cars parked on the street went viral, as many said it looked like GTA 6 in real life. Now, Rockstar has recreated that clip in GTA 6, which is a bit trippy to think about. Some believe that if you look closely at the sidewalk, you can spot Jason and Lucia recording the second part of the video. And yeah…maybe! That could be them, alright.

Anyway, GTA 6 is nearly here. The game launches after a long wait on November 19 and will be available on PS5 and Xbox.
