The second trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) has set the gaming community abuzz, showcasing stunning realism and quality. Rockstar Games announced on their official X (formerly Twitter) account on May 8 that this trailer was entirely captured using the PlayStation 5, sparking both excitement and curiosity among fans.
Captured Entirely Using PS5
Rockstar Games' post detailed that the trailer was "captured entirely in-game from a PlayStation 5, composed of equal parts gameplay and cutscenes." This revelation left many fans puzzled, as the trailer's high quality made it difficult to distinguish between gameplay and cutscenes. A keen observer noted that all cutscenes in Rockstar Games are run in-game, yet some viewers remain skeptical that what they saw could indeed be in-game footage.
This announcement also raised questions about whether the footage was captured on the standard PS5 or the anticipated PS5 Pro, given the significant performance and graphical differences between the two. As of now, Rockstar Games has not clarified this aspect, leaving fans to speculate.
Things You Might Have Missed: GTA 6 Second Trailer
The trailer is packed with details, some more subtle than others. One notable return is Phil Cassidy, a familiar face from the GTA series known for his arms dealing. Fans noticed a change in his design, particularly his physique, suggesting a refreshed take on the character, yet his personality and involvement in the Ammu-Nation gun business remain unchanged.
Eagle-eyed viewers also spotted a PS5 console and controller in the trailer, a clear nod to the system used to capture the footage.
Another exciting tease is the possible return of the Gym System, first introduced in GTA San Andreas. The protagonist, Jason Duval, is seen working out on a beach, hinting at the feature's inclusion in GTA 6.
The trailer also hints at a variety of activities players might engage in, such as golf, fishing, scuba diving, hunting, basketball, kayaking, and even fight clubs. While not officially confirmed, these glimpses suggest a rich, immersive world, especially since Rockstar confirmed that all footage was captured in-game.
As fans continue to discover new references and Easter eggs daily, the anticipation for GTA 6 only grows. Despite a recent delay, the game is now slated for release on May 26, 2026, on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Keep an eye on our updates for the latest news and insights on GTA 6.
