Youtuber Andrew Levitt has recreated the announcement trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI in real life, using his own footage and stock videos from various sources. The video retells the film used to present the game last December, set to the same song as the original trailer, “Love Is a Long Road” by Tom Petty. Levitt also released a behind-the-scenes video showing the efforts put into this ambitious project by him and his team.
The GTA VI announcement video has garnered a significant number of views, with industry analysts considering the game’s release in 2025 or possibly 2026 to be one of the most important in the history of video games. The previous installment, GTA V, sold nearly 200 million copies worldwide. GTA VI is currently in development at Rockstar North in Edinburgh, Scotland, with support from Rockstar teams around the world. The development process has been ongoing for over ten years, with Rockstar Games’ parent company Take-Two stating that the developer is striving for perfection.
