GTA 6 Fans Are Obsessed With Why This Ferris Wheel Has No Reflection

Last week Rockstar Games revealed the cover for Grand Theft Auto 6, announced when pre-orders would start, and shared a short new clip of the game’s version of Vice City at night. The night-time fly-through drew attention not just for its scope but for a small oddity: a Ferris wheel in the background that doesn’t cast a reflection on the water below.

The missing reflection quickly became a hot topic online. Some fans suggested it was a sign the game isn’t finished, others celebrated what they saw as raw in‑engine footage, and a few wondered whether post‑production edits had introduced the error. Jokes and hyperbole followed—“Is it a vampire Ferris wheel?

Will this cause another delay? And how will anyone be able to even play GTA 6, knowing that the Ferris wheel lacks a proper reflection!?”—while others created diagrams, models and GIFs arguing the lack of a reflection could be realistic.
