Quick answer
Is the ONLY in DADE clip really GTA 6?
Kotaku, Polygon and IGN report that Rockstar shared the 20 second ONLY in DADE clip to its Instagram Story on Wednesday 11 November, and Kotaku and IGN say it also liked the original post. By 4am GMT on 12 November, Rockstar had not confirmed the clip or commented in its own words on X or its Newswire.
A 20 second clip shared by the Miami account ONLY in DADE is GTA 6 footage, according to IGN, Kotaku and Polygon, though by 4am GMT on 12 November Rockstar had not confirmed the clip or commented in its own words.
What does the ONLY in DADE clip show?
The clip opens in a moving car, then moves along the pavement past brightly painted parked cars on a sunny street lined with palm trees. ONLY in DADE, an X account whose bio reads "Citizens Journalism", posted it at 10.04pm GMT on 11 November with the caption "Miami is officially a simulation. #OnlyinViceCity". The post does not mention Rockstar or GTA 6.
What has IGN said about the clip?
IGN's article by Cade Onder, published at 8.49pm GMT, says Rockstar "appears to have released" the footage. It reports that Rockstar reposted the clip on its Instagram story and liked the video, "indicating this is likely real in-game footage". IGN quotes no Rockstar statement and links no Instagram post. It also says the clip recreates a real Miami car video from October.
At 11.35pm GMT, IGN's X account went further, posting "Yes, this is from GTA 6 and not real life." IGN's article points to "a new Instagram post from the account "Only in Dade"", which we could not open without signing in. That article went up at 8.49pm GMT, more than an hour before ONLY in DADE's X post.
