Rockstar reposts apparent GTA 6 footage from Only in Dade Instagram

Footage that appears to come from Grand Theft Auto VI was posted to the Instagram account "Only in Dade" and then reposted to Rockstar Games' own Instagram story, IGN reported on November 11, 2026. Rockstar has not formally announced the clip as gameplay.

What we know

According to IGN, the video shows someone driving along Ocean Drive and filming a row of flashy cars while pedestrians walk by. A second person on the sidewalk captures the same scene from another angle.

Viewers initially questioned whether the clip was AI-generated or a pre-rendered sequence. IGN says those doubts eased once Rockstar shared the post on its Instagram story and liked the video. The outlet argues the studio is selective about what it engages with, making that interaction a strong signal that the footage comes from the game.

IGN also points out that the clip mirrors a real video recorded in October. During that month Rockstar worked with West Coast Customs to build real versions of GTA VI cars and drive them around Miami. IGN says recognisable figures from one widely shared video, including a person on a motorised scooter and a man photographing one of the cars, appear to be recreated in the in-game version.

IGN compares this to an earlier unannounced appearance: a short piece of new gameplay shown during an episode of South Park, which some viewers also took for AI until Rockstar's name turned up in the credits.

Other details from the report:

• IGN describes the game as one week from release.
• Pre-loading has begun, according to IGN.
• Rockstar has recently released further trailers and screenshots.

What isn't confirmed yet

Rockstar has not made a statement identifying the clip as in-game footage. IGN describes it as "likely real" based on the studio's repost and like, rather than any official confirmation.

Some fans believe the two people filming are the game's protagonists, Jason and Lucia. IGN notes the footage is not clear enough to support that conclusion, so it remains fan speculation.
