Is the second GTA 6 trailer too good to be true? Some are skeptical about the fine print displayed at the end, which stated it was captured on a PS5—suggesting it might have been recorded on a PS5 Pro or a PC. However, Rockstar has clarified that is not the case.
In a social media post, the developer confirmed that GTA 6's second trailer was captured "entirely in-game" on a PlayStation 5, noting that it consists of "equal parts" gameplay and cinematics.
Here’s the complete 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 makes GTA 6 even more impressive. The trailer showcases incredibly detailed visuals that, as we now know, run perfectly on a five-year-old console. By the time GTA 6 launches on May 26, 2026, the PS5 will be five and a half years old.
Once again, Rockstar’s development wizards are demonstrating their expertise. Still, the mention of gameplay in the second trailer raises questions about which moments are interactive. The GTA 6 community has already highlighted one likely scene—an apparent transition from a cinematic to gameplay as Jason enters his apartment.
