New GTA 6 Gameplay Shows Up in South Park Episode, Dog Poo Included
A short clip of new GTA 6 gameplay aired in South Park's latest episode, and Eurogamer says it has verified the footage. Here is what it shows.
What happened
GTA 6 gameplay has turned up in an unlikely place: South Park. Eurogamer reports that the latest episode, currently titled 'South America', included a short snippet of new footage from Rockstar's upcoming game.
Eurogamer says it has seen the episode and can verify the authenticity of the footage. Rockstar Games is also thanked in the episode's credits.
How the footage appears in the episode
In the scene, Cartman, Kyle, Stan, Randy Marsh and Butters' father Steven Stoch sit around a table while a woman presents what she says is "smuggled" footage of Grand Theft Auto 6. The joke is that the game's release poses an existential threat to the USA because it lands around the Midterm elections.
The gameplay itself is played for laughs. A German Shepherd poos on a crowded beach, and the woman points to it as proof of the game's world-building and "next-level" graphics. She then explains that players can pick up the dog poo, throw things at a person who has it, and even use it to attack them if they fight back.
Eurogamer notes that what we actually see is limited: Jason picking up some poo and then attacking a pedestrian with it. The boys, as you'd expect, are impressed.
A running gag in South Park
According to Eurogamer, GTA 6 has been a recurring part of the show's most recent season. Characters repeatedly say that everything will be better in November, because that is when GTA 6 comes out.
The outlet also points to the wider marketing picture. It notes that GTA 6 has a marketing deal with Sony and the PS5, and that Rockstar has been working with real-world locations to promote the game ahead of its 19th November launch. Eurogamer also lists other recent talk around the game, including a reported PC version in Q1 2027, the PS5 file size and Rockstar workers voting to unionise over the release window. The PC timing is a report from the outlet's roundup, not something this story confirms.
What it means for you
If you want a fresh look at GTA 6 gameplay, this is only a few seconds of footage, and it is played as a joke inside a comedy episode. It shows a dog, a pile of poo and a pedestrian, and little else about the game. Anyone wanting more should expect further marketing as the 19th November launch gets closer.
