The excitement surrounding Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) continues to build, especially with the release of its second trailer. Fans were blown away by the stunning realism and high-quality visuals showcased in the video. Rockstar Games took to Twitter (X) on May 8 to announce that the trailer was captured entirely using the PlayStation 5, setting high expectations for the game's performance on this platform.
Captured Entirely Using PS5
The official post from Rockstar Games stated that the trailer was "captured entirely in-game from a PlayStation 5, composed of equal parts gameplay and cutscenes." This revelation left many fans wondering which segments of the trailer were actual gameplay, as the entire video seemed to flow seamlessly like a cinematic experience. A fan noted that all cutscenes in Rockstar Games run in-game, yet some remain skeptical that what they saw could be purely in-game footage.
Additionally, fans have speculated whether the trailer was captured on the standard PS5 or the more powerful PS5 Pro, given the significant differences in performance and graphical capabilities. Rockstar Games has not yet clarified this, leaving fans to continue their speculation.
Things You Might Have Missed: GTA 6 Second Trailer
The trailer is packed with details, both obvious and subtle. One notable return is Phil Cassidy, a beloved character from previous GTA games, who appears to be involved in the gun trade once again through the Ammu-Nation store chain. However, fans have noticed that his design has been updated, with a changed physique that may signal a new iteration of the character.
In a clever nod to the platform used for the trailer, a PS5 console and controller were spotted in one of the scenes. This not only confirms the use of the PS5 but also adds an extra layer of realism to the trailer.
Another exciting hint from the trailer is the potential return of the Gym System, first seen in GTA San Andreas. The protagonist, Jason Duval, is shown working out on a beach, suggesting that players might once again be able to customize their character's physique through gym activities.
The trailer also teases a variety of other activities, including golf, fishing, scuba diving, hunting, basketball, kayaking, and fight clubs. While not officially confirmed, these activities were all captured in-game according to Rockstar, hinting at a rich and diverse gameplay experience.
As fans continue to dissect the trailer, more references and Easter eggs are being discovered daily. Despite the recent announcement of a delay, anticipation for GTA 6 remains high. The game is now scheduled for release on May 26, 2026, on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Stay tuned for more updates and insights by checking out our related articles below!
