GTA 6 screenshots recreated in Cyberpunk 2077 showcase Rockstar's next-gen visual leap

A committed Cyberpunk 2077 gamer has remade a number of the biggest Grand Theft Auto 6 screenshots released with Trailer 2 this month. Through the use of mods, they synchronized lighting, poses, and composition to closely replicate Rockstar's initial footage. The result isn't merely a nod to GTA 6 's initial look, it's also an unmistakable demonstration of how much further Rockstar is taking graphical realism compared to other contemporary triple-A games.


Cyberpunk recreations highlight GTA 6's visual transformation



Reddit user Party-Scallion-189 undertook the ambitious task of recreating GTA 6 screenshots within the Cyberpunk 2077 universe. Utilizing character Panam as a proxy for Lucia, they replicated major trailer moments, from Lucia mid-punch to her lounging in a swimming pool. Multiple mods were employed to tweak character poses, facial expressions, lighting effects, and even camera angles, creating some very detailed side-by-side comparisons.


Even though the creator insisted the intention wasn't to crown a victor in a graphics battle, fans couldn't help but observe vast contrasts. The GTA 6 screenshots, built upon Rockstar's in-game footage, have more realistic skin details, gentler natural lighting, and deeper environmental immersion. Even with Cyberpunk 2077's reputation for visuals, the comparison only serves to illustrate just how evolved GTA 6's visual fidelity already looks, particularly the fact that the game isn't due for release for another year.


Record-breaking trailer sparks fan imagination through long wait


The timing of this video endeavor could not be more apt. Rockstar's second GTA 6 trailer , which dropped on May 6, set internet records at more than 475 million views in 24 hours, creating unprecedented heat on platforms. In addition to it, Rockstar dropped more than 70 new images, providing fans with more than ample material to examine, remix, and re-imagine.


With GTA 6 officially pushed back to May 26, 2026, fans are getting creative about what they can do in the meantime. From hunting for easter eggs to photo recreations such as this one, the community is only gaining steam while Rockstar remains silent.


This remake of Cyberpunk 2077 is more than simply a cool-looking visual experiment, it's evidence of GTA 6's high level of production and dedication of its fan base. Even without gameplay, Rockstar has provided fans with enough to dream of the future. If these images are anything to go by, that future is amazing.
