Captured Entirely Using PS5

Grand Theft Auto VI's second trailer has captivated fans with its stunning realism and high-quality visuals. On May 8, Rockstar Games took to X (formerly Twitter) to reveal that the trailer was "captured entirely in-game from a PlayStation 5, composed of equal parts gameplay and cutscenes." This announcement left fans in awe, as the seamless quality made it difficult to distinguish between gameplay and cinematic sequences.

Some fans speculated on social media about the exact nature of the footage, with one pointing out that all cutscenes in Rockstar Games are run in-game. However, the high fidelity of the trailer led some to question whether it was truly in-game or if it was enhanced. Additionally, there's been curiosity about whether the trailer was captured on a standard PS5 or the rumored PS5 Pro, given the significant performance differences. Rockstar has yet to clarify these details, leaving fans to speculate.

Things You Might Have Missed: GTA 6 Second Trailer

The trailer is packed with details that might require multiple viewings to catch. One notable return is Phil Cassidy, a familiar face from the GTA series known for his gun-selling business. While his appearance has been updated, his core character and involvement with Ammu-Nation stores remain unchanged, much to fans' delight.

A subtle nod to the PS5 is also visible in the trailer, with a PS5 console and controller making a cameo, reinforcing that the footage was indeed captured using this system.

Rockstar seems poised to bring back the Gym System, a feature beloved from GTA San Andreas, where players can sculpt their character's physique at various gyms. The trailer shows protagonist Jason Duval working out on a beach, hinting at this feature's return.

The trailer also teases a variety of activities such as golf, fishing, scuba diving, hunting, basketball, kayaking, and fight clubs. While not officially confirmed, the fact that Rockstar stated everything in the trailer was captured in-game suggests these activities could be part of the final game.

Fans continue to discover new references and Easter eggs with each viewing. Despite the recent announcement of a delay, anticipation for GTA 6 remains high. The game is now slated for release on May 26, 2026, on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Stay tuned for more updates on this highly anticipated title!
