Things we can learn from the video
Press to jump
- 0:01Hollow explains he re-recorded because his microphone was muted while he watched the clip.
- 0:36He first suspects the Miami Beach reel is AI generated because it looks too real.
- 1:01A side-by-side comparison sets the GTA 6 reel against the real-life video it copies.
- 1:30A Bobby Hurricane's sign, a chain from GTA Online, confirms the footage comes from the game.
- 1:47He notes Rockstar reposted the reel from the OnlyinDade account on Instagram.
- 4:08He covers a Guardian interview on the game's development since 2015 and its roughly 5,000-person team.
Hollow had to record this one twice. He says his microphone stayed muted the first time while he stared at a clip of cars cruising Miami Beach, and the opening line of the second take explains why: "So my mind has been absolutely blown."
The clip is an Instagram reel from the OnlyinDade account, which Rockstar Games reposted. It recreates a Miami Beach street scene with Grand Theft Auto VI's own models. This is a reaction and close inspection, not Hollow playing the game. His first instinct was doubt: "It looks way too real, and it's probably AI generated."
So he puts the two side by side, labeled "REAL" and "GTA 6," and starts zooming. In the background he finds a sign for Bobby Hurricane's, a fast-food chain he recognizes from GTA Online. After that he works through the lighting, the paintwork and the people on the pavement before concluding, "this is what the game is going to look like."
The second half moves beyond the reel. He points to an upcoming Guardian interview about a development he dates back to 2015, says almost 5,000 people worked on the game, and lingers on small animations: a character eating, another carrying a six-pack.
The video drew about 1.1 million views since yesterday, and comments came in six times faster than on his usual first day. Many viewers admit they took the reel for real footage at first. Others hunt for figures in the scene who seem to be filming, and several remember unboxing San Andreas or queuing at midnight for GTA V.
It sits in a run of uploads that follows the countdown step by step, from downloading the game on a PS5 Pro to unboxing a physical copy.

What viewers say
The first boot-up of GTA 6 is genuinely gonna bring me to tears bro
@imjusttoby1See it on YouTubeJust seen the footage on instagram… went from confused to mind blown
@AlonzoBezalelSee it on YouTubeMan, GTA has been such a huge part of my childhood. I still remember being in Grade 4 and my mom buying me GTA San Andreas while I was at school. Coming home, opening that box, and putting it into my PS2 for the first time is a memory I’ll never forget. Then fast forward to Grade 12, waiting outside my local game store for the midnight release of GTA V.
Now here we are, all these years later, getting ready for GTA VI. It’s honestly hard to believe it’s real. For me, it’s about so much more than just a new game. It’s the nostalgia, the memories, and almost feeling like a kid again waiting for…@ViceCityBriianRead it all on YouTube
