As of right now, the official GTA 6 trailer has been watched on YouTube more than 140 million times. It’s become one of the most-watched video game announcements of all time. Given that, it was inevitable that some would want a piece of that success by recreating their own versions.
As spotted by PCGamesN, Instagram user evilgame_ytb has put their personal spin on the GTA 6 teaser by giving it the Minecraft treatment. The reel uploaded to their profile shows the blocky recreation of Rockstar’s trailer, complete with the Tom Petty soundtrack.
In fact, if you search “GTA 6 trailer in Minecraft” on YouTube, you’ll see more than one example. Here’s one from Alex & Steve Animation. It’s not a shot-for-shot remake, but it’s got wide shots of the beach and even features some of the dialogue audio. Of course, Petty crops up again to really sell the illusion.
And one done in Los Santos
Other games have been used for a different take on the trailer. Here’s one from the channel GTA BELGIUM (as noted by DSO Gaming), which recreates GTA 6 in GTA 5. It even opens with a joke by playing the opening to Genesis’ “That’s All” track before a record scratch and then Tom Petty kicks in.
It follows the same vibe as the official trailer: a glimpse at some of the main characters, establishing shots of the beach and surrounding city life. Except it’s in Grand Theft Auto 5. Then it ends with another joke, insinuating there’s an “expanded and enhanced” version of the game coming to “PlayStation 6” in 2030.
All we’re missing now is a Skyrim remix. Or maybe one done in Garry’s Mod.
