GTA 6 Trailer Shot in Real Life
The GTA 6 trailer, released on YouTube on December 5, currently has 174 million views. A French YouTuber, inspired by the popularity of the trailer, decided to visit the filming locations to capture the real-life essence. Traveling to Miami to fulfill this quest, the YouTuber attempted to locate the places depicted in the trailer and obtain similar footage. The resulting project turned out as follows.
In the captured video, vibrant and lively colors reminiscent of the trailer stand out. While there may be some editing involved, it appears to convey the same atmosphere as the trailer. The video quickly went viral on social media, garnering significant attention.
Since its release, the trailer has been imitated numerous times. It has become increasingly popular, even mimicked in GTA 5 and other games. Players are eagerly awaiting GTA 6, and the new events that will unfold in the game are also of great interest.
Mike York, a developer who worked on GTA 5, provided details about the PC version in a video shared on YouTube. According to York, Rockstar initially focuses on console versions due to sales on platforms like PlayStation and Xbox. Rockstar prioritizes optimizing these platforms first. After completing the console version, attention turns to the PC version. This means that after GTA 6 is released for Xbox and PS in 2025, it will eventually come to PC. York mentioned that optimization for various PC setups is challenging compared to consoles, so players will need to wait a bit.
