Is GTA 6's second trailer too impressive for its own good? Some skeptics questioned the fine print stating footage was captured on PS5, speculating it might originate from a PS5 Pro or high-end PC. Rockstar Games has officially addressed these claims.
Rockstar Confirms PS5 Footage Authenticity
In a recent social media statement, Rockstar clarified that GTA 6's second trailer was captured "entirely in-game" using a standard PlayStation 5 console, with an equal mix of gameplay sequences and cinematic cutscenes. The company's full statement reads:
Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer 2 was captured entirely in-game from a PlayStation 5, comprised of equal parts gameplay and cutscenes.
This official confirmation makes the trailer's visual fidelity even more remarkable. Considering the PS5 will be nearly six years old when GTA 6 launches on May 26, 2026, Rockstar's technical achievement appears extraordinary.
Gameplay vs. Cutscenes: The Community Debate
Rockstar's mention of gameplay within the trailer has sparked intense speculation among fans. One notable moment generating discussion shows protagonist Jason entering an apartment - many believe this demonstrates a seamless transition from cutscene to gameplay.
The GTA 6 community continues analyzing every frame to distinguish gameplay elements from scripted sequences. Eagle-eyed players have already identified potential gameplay mechanics hidden within the trailer's breathtaking visuals.
