Rockstar Games is continuing its marketing for Grand Theft Auto 6 through the “Only in Dade” Instagram account. A new video has been uploaded showcasing a bunch of cars turning at a corner during a seemingly busy day. The cars themselves are quite fancy, showcasing the variety that GTA 6 will have to offer, and along with this, the footage also looks incredibly realistic.
This is the second video Rockstar has released through the Only in Dade account, with the first one coming earlier this week, showcasing a drive down Vice City’s Ocean Drive. At the time, there was speculation that, rather than being footage from GTA 6, the video was AI-generated. However, Rockstar then shared the video on its own social media account, essentially confirming the fact that it’s in-game footage in the process.
The video itself was also a recreation of another one Rockstar had made as part of its collaboration with West Coast Customs to recreate some of the in-game vehicles in real life. Both of the videos so far have featured tracks from GTA 6: The Album.
The marketing seems to have done wonders for Grand Theft Auto 6, since reports have indicated that its pre-order performance has been incredibly strong. According to data from analytics firm Sensor Tower, the title has already made more than $1 billion in revenue through pre-orders, selling more than 10 million copies across PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. Sony’s platform has contributed 75 percent to the overall sales, compared to Microsoft’s console contributing 25 percent.
Grand Theft Auto 6 will focus on the story of two protagonists – Jason and Lucia – who find themselves caught in the midst of the darker side of the state of Leonida after a simple score that goes wrong. While dealing with a vast criminal conspiracy spanning the entire state, the two also have to figure out how they can get themselves out of precarious situations.
With the title only coming to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, for now, Rockstar Games has confirmed that it will run at 30 FPS on all consoles. PS5 Pro players are in for a treat, however, since the extra horsepower will enable them to play with ray-traced shadows and improved visuals thanks to PSSR. When it comes to all platforms, the studio has said that it is “pushing both platforms to their absolute limits to bring the vast and rich world of Leonida to life – while maintaining the density and visual fidelity of all its environments and inhabitants.”
The PS5 version will also get a few extra bonuses, including support for Tempest 3D audio for “improved spatial audio rendering”, as well as quicker loading times. There are no details yet on whether it will also include support for the DualSense controller’s adaptive triggers.
Following Grand Theft Auto 6’s November 19th release, Rockstar has announced that there will also be a music festival featuring Justice, Cardi B, Metro Booming, and more on November 21st. In the meantime, those who have pre-ordered the game can pre-load it.
