Since its release in late 2023, the Grand Theft Auto VI trailer has become one of the biggest, most-watched video game ads in history. And now, a YouTuber has recreated scenes from the trailer in Miami (the game is set in a fictitious version of the Florida city) to create one of the most impressive side-by-side comparisons I’ve seen.
In December 2023, following a leak, Rockstar Games released the highly-anticipated trailer for GTA 6. Its impressive visuals combined with the decade-long wait for even a crumb of new game news helped it skyrocket up the charts, setting records along the way, and helping the deceased Tom Petty do the same. Since then, fans have been left with nothing else to do but endlessly watch the trailer and dig into every detail they can. Someone even figured out what SPF level an NPC’s sunscreen was using science. Now, a YouTuber has flown all the way to Miami—the real-life inspiration behind GTA 6’s Vice City—to recreate the popular trailer.
As spotted by PCGamer, in a recently uploaded video, French YouTuber CyrilMP4 and some friends hopped on a plane and traveled to Miami, Florida to walk the streets of the real-life Vice City. He recreated moments from the announcement trailer while exploring the city and pointing out the landmarks and areas seen in both the new GTA 6 trailer and the original GTA Vice City.
The most impressive part of this whole trip and production was when CyrilMP4 edited together some of the recreated scenes and placed them side-by-side with the GTA 6 trailer.
