The buzz around Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) continues to grow, especially with the release of its second trailer. Fans were blown away by the stunning realism and quality showcased, and now, Rockstar Games has confirmed on X (formerly Twitter) on May 8 that the trailer was captured entirely using the PlayStation 5.

Captured Entirely Using PS5

Rockstar Games announced that the second GTA 6 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 fan noted that all cutscenes in Rockstar Games titles run in-game, yet some remain skeptical that such visuals are achievable in real-time gameplay.

Moreover, fans speculated whether the trailer was recorded on a standard PS5 or the upcoming PS5 Pro, given the significant performance and graphical differences between the two. Rockstar Games has not yet clarified this, leaving fans to speculate.

Things You Might Have Missed: GTA 6 Second Trailer

The trailer was packed with details, both overt and subtle. For instance, it appears that Phil Cassidy, a familiar face from previous GTA games who deals in firearms, is making a return. However, his appearance has evolved, suggesting a new take on the character while maintaining his iconic personality and involvement with the Ammu-Nation store chain.

Eagle-eyed viewers also spotted a PS5 console and controller in the trailer, hinting at the system used to capture the footage.

Another exciting feature potentially returning to the series is the Gym System, first seen in GTA San Andreas. The trailer showed protagonist Jason Duval working out on a beach, suggesting players might once again customize their character's physique.

The trailer also teased various activities like golf, fishing, scuba diving, hunting, basketball, kayaking, and fight clubs. While not officially confirmed, these activities could be part of the final game, given that everything shown was captured in-game.

As fans continue to uncover references and easter eggs daily, excitement remains high despite the game's recent delay. GTA 6 is now slated for release on May 26, 2026, on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Stay tuned for more updates by checking out our related articles below!
