A dedicated Grand Theft Auto 6 player has meticulously recreated some of the game's most iconic shots from Trailer 2 inside of Red Dead Redemption 2. While Red Dead Redemption 2's graphics blew fans away in 2018, many Rockstar Games enthusiasts have been eager to see how the seven-year-old title holds up when compared to the hugely anticipated Grand Theft Auto 6. Thanks to some incredibly detailed recreations, we finally have the answer.
While many will argue that the Grand Theft Auto series is Rockstar Games' holy grail, the Red Dead series has also been massively successful, with some even regarding Red Dead Redemption 2 as one of the greatest video games of all time. The smash hit prequel was released in 2018 for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, with a PC release following a year later, in 2019. Despite being seven years old, Red Dead Redemption 2 continues to sell incredibly well. During a recent quarterly earnings call at Take-Two Interactive, CEO Strauss Zelnick revealed that the title has sold 74 million copies to date. It is now on course to become the fifth-best-selling game of all time.

GTA 6 Fan Recreates Trailer 2 Moments In Red Dead Redemption 2
As Red Dead Redemption 2 is Rockstar Games' most recent title, it is only right that it is compared to the visuals of the upcoming Grand Theft Auto 6 to see how far the studio has come in seven years. As many fans have been curious to know how the two titles compare to each other, Twitter user Trevorphilipsig has carefully recreated some of Grand Theft Auto 6 Trailer 2's most iconic shots inside of Red Dead Redemption 2. The impressive recreation not only shows how well Red Dead Redemption 2 has held up since its release, but also shows just how impressive the graphics of Grand Theft Auto 6 are going to be.
With one year left until Grand Theft Auto 6' s release, fans are occupying their time by recreating as much as possible from the game. Despite the fact that the game's second trailer hasn't even been out for two weeks yet, one individual has already taken it upon themselves to recreate the trailer in Grand Theft Auto 5. Similar to the Red Dead Redemption 2 screenshots above, the trailer recreation shows just how far the graphics of the Grand Theft Auto series have come since the launch of GTA 5 in 2013.
The latest trailer sent shockwaves around the world last week, not only for its in-depth look at the game's characters, location, and story, but for its jaw-dropping visuals. Shortly after the trailer was released, Rockstar Games revealed that the trailer was captured entirely in-game from a PlayStation 5 and was comprised of "equal parts gameplay and cutscenes." The statement resulted in fans rewatching the trailer in an attempt to find the gameplay moments. As Rockstar uses in-engine footage, it can be difficult to distinguish between the two, but some are now convinced that they have found the gameplay parts of Grand Theft Auto 6's new trailer.
