About
What I Looked Like When GTA V Came Out vs. Now is a comparison format that involves a user posting a photograph of themselves from 2013, when the action-adventure video game Grand Theft Auto V was released, and a photograph of themselves in November 2023, when Rockstar Games announced the premiere date for the Grand Theft Auto VI trailer alongside the catchphrase "what I looked like when GTA V came out vs now."
Origin
On November 8th, 2023, video game publisher Rockstar Games announced the December premiere of the first trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI.[1]
Later that day, X user @JordanMiddler posted two photographs of himself, one made in 2013 when Grand Theft Auto V, the previous installment of the game, was released, and one made in November 2023. The post, captioned "What I looked like when GTA V came out vs now," received over 210 reposts and 600 likes in one day (shown below).[2]
Spread
Starting on November 8th, 2023, multiple users on X made similar posts, posting photographs of themselves from 2013 and now.
