GTA 6 or real life? Viral Miami Beach video sparks buzz – NBC 6 South Florida
That viral Only in Dade video showing luxury cars along Miami Beach’s Ocean Drive? It’s actually part of a simulation.
Only in Dade shared the clip, but the footage appears to come from the upcoming Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6).
You might have fallen for it, too. At first glance, it looks like a typical user-generated video, with someone walking down Ocean Drive and filming a lineup of luxury cars.
But here’s where it gets even more impressive.
The House of GTA 6 account, which is not affiliated with Rockstar Games, shared the footage alongside real-life video reportedly used as inspiration for the game, offering a side-by-side comparison that’s hard to believe.
The resemblance is uncanny.
And while Rockstar Games hasn’t publicly confirmed the footage’s connection to GTA 6, its official Instagram account did share Only in Dade’s videos to its Stories without adding a single word.
The repost wasn’t a confirmation, but it wasn’t a denial, either.
On Oct. 16, Chopper 6 captured aerial footage of luxury cars that had been modified to resemble vehicles featured in GTA 6 as they made their way through the Magic City.
Grand Theft Auto has come a long way since its early days. With advances in graphics and technology, the line between the virtual world and real life has become so blurred that you might have to look twice to figure out whether you’re watching GTA or the real thing.
GTA 6 officially launches on Nov. 19, 2026.
