Is the second trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI too good to be true? Doubts have swirled around the small print at the end of the trailer, which claimed it was captured on a PlayStation 5. Some speculated the footage might have come from a PS5 Pro or a PC. However, Rockstar Games has put those rumors to rest.
In a clear statement on social media, the developer confirmed that GTA 6 Trailer 2 was indeed "captured entirely in-game" on a PS5, featuring "equal parts" gameplay and cutscenes. Here's the full statement from Rockstar:
Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer 2 was captured entirely in-game from a PlayStation 5, comprised of equal parts gameplay and cutscenes.
This revelation only heightens the awe surrounding GTA 6. The trailer's astonishing detail, now confirmed to run on a console over five years old at the time of filming, speaks volumes about the game's graphical prowess. By the time GTA 6 hits the shelves on May 26, 2026, the PS5 will be five-and-a-half years old.
The developer's mention of gameplay in the trailer has sparked curiosity among fans, particularly about a scene where Jason enters his apartment, which seems to transition from a cutscene to gameplay. This has led to discussions within the GTA 6 community, with fans eager to dissect every frame to differentiate between gameplay and cinematic sequences.
As anticipation builds, fans are poring over the trailer to identify these moments. In the meantime, there's a wealth of GTA 6 content to explore, from detailed breakdowns to 70 new screenshots, and emerging fan theories inspired by Trailer 2.
The magic of Rockstar's development team continues to dazzle, and as we await more clarity on the gameplay elements, the excitement for GTA 6 only grows.
