It’s been three weeks and changes since Rockstar Games played Santa Claus and gave everyone their first look Grand Theft Auto 6 ahead of its vague 2025 release date. In that time, thirsty fans have watched the record-breaking trailer more than 160 million times, which was apparently more than enough research to recreate the video in just about any game, style, and format.
Let’s start with a few obvious things: Grand Theft Auto 6 recreated in the previous one Grand Theft Auto games.
RavenwestR1 used various mods to recreate each key scene from the trailer Grand Theft Auto 5. I particularly like that Michael de Santa, Franklin Clinton and Trevor Philips make cameos as random residents of Vice City.
What if Grand Theft Auto 6 took place in and starred Liberty City Grand Theft Auto 4 Protagonist Niko Bellic? It might look something like this:
And finally someone has invented something new Grand Theft Auto 6 as my personal favorite game in the series, Grand Theft Auto San Andreas.
Grand Theft Auto Sister series Red Dead Redemption 2 I enjoyed it too, but I couldn’t choose a favorite.
That was in his heyday Saints Row series was Grand Theft Autois the most popular and successful competitor, so in some ways it only makes sense to replicate it Grand Theft Auto 6 Use trailer Saints Row 2.
From there, the possibilities are endless. Fourteen days? Secure!
Minecraft? Why not!
The Sims 4? OK!
Garry’s Mod? It’s an older meme, but it works.
The most impressive thing, however, is probably Grand Theft Auto 6 Made in true Lego stop motion style.
Since I am old, I also have a preference for transportation Grand Theft Auto 6 Travel back in time with graphics inspired by the original PlayStation…
…playing the trailer on an early 2000s CRT TV…
…and to imagine a retro-futuristic world where the distant game was somehow released in 1956.
And finally, I can’t help but praise this trailer, which is made entirely from stock footage and which creator Simply said is “surprisingly simple.”
It’s amusing how recognizable this is Grand Theft Auto 6 The format and rhythm of Reveal has become popular despite the relatively short time it’s been around online, but I think that’s just further evidence of how fast the Internet moves these days. And last but not least, at least a whole new generation is learning to appreciate Tom Petty’s music, which is always a win for me.
