How Mago's AI Style Transfer Tool Created the Most Viral Gaming Video of 2026 (10M Views in 24 Hours)

‍

If you've been on Twitter in the past few days, you've probably seen it: a stunning video showcasing what appeared to be "GTA6 Greenland Edition," supposedly generated using Google DeepMind's newly released Genie 3 AI model. The footage was breathtaking—photorealistic Greenlandic landscapes, icy fjords, and snowy terrain that looked like it could be the next evolution of gaming.

‍

‍

The video exploded across social media, racking up 2.5 million views in just 6 hours and 10 million views in 24 hours. Tech enthusiasts, gamers, and AI researchers alike were stunned by what they thought was a demonstration of Genie 3's capabilities to generate playable video game environments in real-time.

But here's the truth: that video wasn't created with Genie 3. It was made with Mago.

‍

What Actually Happened: GTA6 Greenland Edition broke the internet

‍

While Google DeepMind did recently announce Genie 3, an impressive model designed to create playable video games from text descriptions, the viral "GTA6 Greenland Edition" video was actually produced using Mago's AI-powered style transfer technology.

‍

The footage wasn't a newly generated game environment, it was gameplay from GTA5 stylized consistently using Mago's advanced video engine. The video was created by the youtuber Aillusory who claims that he used Mago to create these videos. Our technology transformed existing GTA5 gameplay into a photorealistic Greenland setting with stunning visual fidelity while maintaining temporal consistency across frames.

‍

Given the timing and quality of the video, it's understandable why people assumed it was a Genie 3 demonstration. However, this was Mago's proprietary AI style transfer system at work.

‍

What Makes Mago's Technology Different

‍

While Genie 3 generates entirely new playable environments from text, Mago specializes in AI-powered style transfer for video content—a different approach with unique advantages.

‍

The biggest challenge in video style transfer is maintaining consistency across frames. Flickering and artifacts can quickly break immersion. Mago's video engine excels here, understanding temporal relationships between frames to ensure coherent motion, lighting, and visual continuity throughout entire video sequences.

‍

The "GTA6 Greenland Edition" video demonstrates this perfectly. Aillusory took actual GTA5 gameplay and transformed it into a completely different visual setting while preserving player movements, car physics, and game mechanics. This offers unique advantages for creators who want to explore different artistic directions without rebuilding assets from scratch.

‍

The Viral Moment: Why This Video Exploded

‍

The video's explosive growth came from perfect timing (with Genie 3's announcement), exceptional quality that exceeded typical AI expectations, the novelty of reimagining GTA in Greenland, and its shareability—short, visually striking, and easy to understand.

‍

Why This Matters for Mago and the AI Industry
