There are only a few days left until the official release of Grand Theft Auto 6, and just as players prepare to welcome this 2026 headline blockbuster, a new gameplay clip was released last week, with its realism once again sparking heated discussion. At the same time, Rockstar Games also came forward to share the differences in technical presentation between the PS5, Xbox, and other versions.
In August of this year, Rockstar officially partnered with Netflix to reveal an extended gameplay footage of Grand Theft Auto 6 to players, once again proving their incredible craftsmanship in all kinds of details and visual presentation. However, in just the past few days, a new 15-second gameplay clip has once again amazed players looking forward to the game, with many even thinking it was real footage shot on the streets of Miami.
On November 11, the well-known Miami social media account “Only in Dade” shared with fans a short first-person perspective video of Grand Theft Auto 6. The footage shows several modified cars parked alongside a busy street, with pedestrians also seen walking past the vehicles, and recreates a real-life clip from the Grand Theft Auto 6 collaboration project with West Coast Customs.
At first glance, the entire scene looks almost like real footage shot directly on the streets of Miami, but this is indeed in-game footage from Grand Theft Auto 6, because Rockstar Games also officially shared this clip in an Instagram Story afterward. Understandably, many players found such realistic visuals hard to believe, saying they initially thought it was live-action footage or an AI-generated video.

On the other hand, Rockstar Games also recently revealed the performance and feature differences of Grand Theft Auto 6 across platforms including PS5, PS5 Pro, and Xbox Series X|S, and confirmed that the game will run at 30fps on all platforms. However, the PS5 Pro will support PSSR technology, delivering more refined visuals than the standard PS5, and will also support ray tracing.
Therefore, many fans speculate that this newly revealed footage, which has sparked discussion, is very likely from the PS5 Pro version, and after seeing such stunning visuals, some players who had been somewhat hesitant about the game being locked at 30fps seem to have finally been reassured.
As for Xbox consoles, Rockstar Games also confirmed that it has partnered with Microsoft to make Grand Theft Auto 6 available on Xbox Cloud Gaming from day one, meaning players who only own an Xbox One can also stream this major title via the cloud. Unfortunately, however, this technology does not support the PC platform.
Pre-downloads have officially opened for Grand Theft Auto 6, which currently has a total size requirement of 230GB, allowing players who preordered the game to head to Vice City at launch and begin a new criminal adventure. In addition, related reports suggest that a PC version of Grand Theft Auto 6 may launch in early 2027; if true, this would be much faster than Rockstar’s past PC port releases.
