New GTA 6 gameplay clip recreates Rockstar's Miami car display, and Rockstar reshared it

The Miami Instagram account Only in Dade posted a clip on November 11 that looks like a phone video of custom cars lined up on a street, with pedestrians walking past them. The street is in Vice City. Rockstar reshared the clip to its own Instagram Story and liked the original post, which Kotaku and Dexerto both read as Rockstar confirming the footage was captured inside GTA 6.

Rockstar has not published the clip on the Newswire or on its own YouTube channel, and it has not said what the footage was recorded on. Only in Dade, an account with 2.1 million followers that posts about Miami and now carries the line "ONLY in VICE CITY" in its bio, captioned the post "Miami is officially a simulation" with the hashtag #OnlyinViceCity, and said the video is gameplay.

What the clip recreates

The scene is a restaging of a real one. In October, Rockstar and West Coast Customs built six cars to match GTA 6 vehicles and showed them in Miami, where phone footage of the cars and the crowd around them spread on Instagram. The new clip puts that kind of car display back inside the game, filmed as though by someone standing on the pavement.

That is why it travelled. Kotaku and Dexerto both reported that viewers took the video for real footage from Miami, or for something generated by AI, before they learned where it came from. Dexerto quoted one commenter: "OMG I looked at this 100x and I still can't believe this is in-game."

What the clip does not settle

A video reshared on a Story is not a technical statement. The only thing Rockstar has said about how the game runs is what it gave for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S: a 30 frames per second target, with ray-traced shadows and PSSR upscaling on PS5 Pro. The clip names no platform, no resolution and no frame rate, and neither Rockstar nor Only in Dade has said which console or build it came from.

It fits the pattern of the campaign so far, which has put GTA 6 in places outside Rockstar's own channels: the real cars in Miami, a Selfridges shop in London, a Miami Heat uniform, and now a Miami meme account's feed.

GTA 6 launches on November 19, 2026 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Pre-loading opened on November 10.
