YouTuber Brings GTA 6 to Life in Miami Streets
A dedicated fan is bringing the GTA 6 trailer to life by visiting real locations in Miami.
Seven months after Rockstar Games released the Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer, fans are still captivated by every detail, analyzing the footage frame by frame, speculating, debating, arguing. One fan however has gone several steps further, recreating it all outright.
Over the past seven months, the community has watched and re-watched every second of the trailer multiple times, making it the second-most-viewed video game trailer of all time, with over 200 million views — and counting! To put that into context, the official Grand Theft Auto 5 trailer from 12 years ago is still at 111 million views (but the game itself has sold over 200 million copies!).
As always, there are people who will go above and beyond to show their passion for GTA. In this case, a YouTuber is attempting to recreate the shots from the GTA 6 trailer by flying to Miami City and visiting the real-life locations that inspired the viral craziness depicted in the trailer.
The self-described "GTA & Rockstar Games Fan" TGG went to Miami earlier this month to recreate parts of the GTA 6 trailer. Specifically, he stated that his goal was to recreate the overhead shot at the 35-second mark of the trailer.
TGG has since recreated several other shots from the GTA 6 trailer, going to Ocean Drive, South Beach, Wynwood, and even "meeting up" with someone dressed like the protagonist of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Tommy Vercetti (whose mansion appears in the GTA 6 trailer, by the way).
TGG's attempt isn't the first time a fan has tried to recreate the GTA 6 trailer in real life. Back in April, French YouTuber, CyrilMP4, went to Miami with his buddies to identify all the locations used in GTA 6 and in GTA: Vice City. In both instances, you can't help but feel amazed by how much work both Rockstar and the creators put into their work, even if the former was expected already.
With the next GTA 6 trailer unlikely to arrive until later this year, it will be fascinating to see what other creative projects fans undertake in the meantime. Rockstar has confirmed a Fall 2025 release for GTA 6, but Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick remains noncommittal about a PC version.
However, recent updates to Rockstar's "Games Included With GTA+" list hint at the exciting possibility of GTA 5 coming to the Nintendo Switch as a legitimate port.
