On Thursday, after years of waiting, rumors, and leaks, Rockstar Games finally showed everyone our first look at gameplay of Grand Theft Auto 6, its upcoming open-world sequel that is set to be one of the biggest games in history. And during that extended look, Rockstar included a commercial for an Arby’s parody. Funny, sure. But if you’ve played a lot of Red Dead Redemption II, well, you probably got some deja vu. That’s because Rockstar used RDR 2 to help make that ad.
While watching yesterday’s nearly 30-minute gameplay reveal of GTA 6, I spotted something odd during a Chacey’s commercial for a comically large sandwich made out of various animals, including deer, warthogs, and rabbits. Here’s the ad in case you haven’t seen it or want your memory refreshed:
“Wait a minute… I recognize those deer! I know those warthog models!” I thought to myself while watching that ad. I wondered if Rockstar Games had used Red Dead Redemption 2 to create the short commercial. And it didn’t take long for fans to answer my question: Yup, Rockstar used RDR 2 in that commercial. In fact, someone on Reddit actually found the specific location in Rockstar’s open-world cowboy simulator where the studio recorded the ad.

This isn’t the first time Rockstar has used one of its old games to create TV shows, movies, and ads in its other games.
