Rockstar Games has shared a Grand Theft Auto 6 clip on Instagram that’s so unbelievably realistic that many believed it to be an AI-generated video. It’s only a few seconds long, but it’s a first-person-perspective video that showcases the recent lineup of cars created by West Coast Customs in an insane marketing stunt for GTA 6.
In the short video, we see the same roster of cars we saw a few days ago in some new screenshots, but shot from the perspective of someone sitting in the back of a car and walking down the street alongside the vehicles.
Rockstar’s First-Person GTA 6 Clip is Jaw-Dropping
The new marketing clip shared by Rockstar Games on Instagram (which you can see here) is nothing short of stunning. It’s pushing the game’s engine to the limit, revealing sumptuous lighting, small details, and casual animations that make the entire sequence feel absolutely real. You might need to watch it a couple of times to convince yourself it’s not real life.
In a moment of art imitating life, it was revealed on social media that it was an in-game replication of a real video that was uploaded earlier to showcase the same cars, but in real life. It’s just crossovers on top of crossovers!
It’s likely all performative, and it’s still not indicative of what a first-person mode might look like in GTA 6.
Yesterday, it was confirmed that GTA 6 will be targeting 30 FPS on consoles, and at the moment, there’s no indication that a boosted performance mode will be available on the higher-end consoles like the PlayStation 5 Pro.
However, in the comments under these videos, users have been quick to say that they’d rather have this level of graphic fidelity than more FPS, and I have to agree. The clip is beautiful.
