Does the second trailer for GTA 6 seem too impressive to be real? Some skeptics point to the fine print at the end, which indicated the footage was captured on a PS5. They've suggested it might actually be from a PS5 Pro or a PC. However, Rockstar has clarified the situation.
In a recent social media update, the developer confirmed that GTA 6 Trailer 2 was captured "entirely in-game" from a standard PlayStation 5. Furthermore, they revealed it consists of "equal parts" direct gameplay and cinematic cutscenes.
Here is Rockstar's complete statement:
Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer 2 was captured entirely in-game from a PlayStation 5, comprised of equal parts gameplay and cutscenes.
This revelation makes GTA 6's visuals even more remarkable. The level of detail in the second trailer is stunning, and we now know for certain it’s running on hardware that is already five years old. By the game's launch on May 26, 2026, the PS5 will be five and a half years old.
The talented developers at Rockstar are clearly demonstrating their expertise once again. Their mention of gameplay in the trailer has sparked curiosity about which specific moments are interactive. The most discussed example, already noted by the GTA 6 community, appears to be a seamless transition from a cutscene into gameplay as Jason enters his apartment.
In this part is the gameplay about to start?
