A dedicated Cyberpunk 2077 player has faithfully recreated several of the most iconic screenshots from Grand Theft Auto 6’s second trailer, which debuted earlier this month. Using an array of mods, they meticulously matched lighting, character poses, and framing to mirror Rockstar’s original scenes. The result goes beyond simple homage—it’s a striking reminder of how far Rockstar is pushing the boundaries of visual realism compared to its AAA contemporaries.
Cyberpunk Reimagines GTA 6’s Visual Evolution
Reddit user Party-Scallion-189 took on the creative challenge of replicating GTA 6 trailer moments within the world of Cyberpunk 2077. Using the character Panam to stand in for Lucia, they recreated key scenes—from a mid-action punch to a tranquil poolside pose. The project relied heavily on mods to adjust character expressions, lighting, and camera positioning, resulting in impressively detailed side-by-side comparisons.
Although the creator clarified that the intent wasn’t to pit the two games against each other visually, the differences were hard for fans to ignore. Rockstar’s GTA 6 screenshots showcase highly detailed skin textures, softer and more natural lighting, and an immersive sense of place. Despite Cyberpunk 2077’s strong visual reputation, these comparisons highlight just how advanced GTA 6 already appears—especially considering its release is still a year away.
GTA 6 Trailer Sparks Creative Fan Projects During the Long Wait
This recreation comes at a perfect time. Rockstar’s second GTA 6 trailer, released on May 6, broke records with over 475 million views in just 24 hours, setting social media ablaze. Alongside the trailer, Rockstar also released more than 70 new screenshots, offering fans a rich trove of material to analyze, reimagine, and creatively repurpose.
With GTA 6 now officially scheduled for release on May 26, 2026, fans have taken to filling the void with their own projects—from easter egg hunts to intricate photo recreations like this one.
Despite Rockstar’s silence, the community’s passion continues to grow.
This Cyberpunk 2077 remake isn’t just a fun visual experiment—it’s a testament to the dedication of the fanbase and a clear signal of the exceptional production quality we can expect from GTA 6. Even without gameplay footage, Rockstar has given fans plenty to dream about—and if these images are any indication, that dream is going to be spectacular.
