YouTuber Andrew Levitt has flawlessly replicated the Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer in Miami. The official unveiling of Grand Theft Auto 6 shook the gaming community upon its release in December 2023, racking up millions of views within hours and propelling Rockstar Games' YouTube channel subscriber count to 10 million. The 90-second trailer also claimed the title as the most favorited gaming tweet on Twitter of all time.
Having commemorated the tenth anniversary of Grand Theft Auto 5 in September and the fifth anniversary of Rockstar's previous major release, Red Dead Redemption 2, in October, the anticipation for Rockstar's next major Grand Theft Auto installment has been escalating. The trailer provided fans with a first glimpse of the game's two main characters, Lucia and Jason. Closing with a broad 2025 release timeframe, the thrilling 90-second teaser left many speculating on the potential launch date next year, unless it gets postponed to 2026.
While enthusiasts eagerly await further updates from Rockstar, renowned YouTuber Andrew Levitt has taken the initiative to recreate the entire Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer in real-world settings. Embarking on a journey to Miami, the real-world city that inspired Grand Theft Auto's Vice City, Levitt captures the genuine locations featured in the trailer. Leveraging original footage of real-world events showcased in the trailer, Levitt ensured an authentic recreation. The remake also incorporates the original trailer's audio, along with the now-iconic track 'Love Is A Long Road' by Tom Petty, a song that gained popularity on music streaming services following the trailer's debut in December.
Realistic Recreation of Grand Theft Auto 6 Trailer
Andrew Levitt also shared a 12-minute behind-the-scenes video detailing his Miami adventure to capture the 38 distinct shots of the real-world locations that inspired the trailer. The meticulous attention to detail in replicating Miami locations for Vice City was remarkable, down to precise building facades and street art. Some shots, like the lavish penthouse pool party scene, proved costly for Levitt to access, prompting the use of a drone camera to replicate numerous scenes from the trailer.
The Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer has amassed an impressive 185 million views on YouTube. Many fans are eagerly anticipating the release of the second trailer. Despite the upcoming Summer Game Fest, Rockstar typically operates independently of industry-wide events. If the game remains on schedule for 2025, the second GTA 6 trailer, potentially delving deeper into the characters and narrative, may be unveiled later this year.
