Is the GTA 6 Trailer 2 too impressive to believe? Some skeptics questioned the fine print stating the footage was captured on PS5, speculating it might originate from a PS5 Pro or PC. Rockstar swiftly debunked these claims.
The developer clarified via social media that Trailer 2 was recorded "entirely in-game" using a standard PS5, blending gameplay and cinematic sequences equally.
Rockstar's official 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 revelation makes GTA 6's visual fidelity even more remarkable. The trailer's stunning detail now definitively runs on existing five-year-old hardware. By the game's May 26, 2026 launch date, the PS5 will be five and a half years old.
Rockstar's technical mastery shines again, though their gameplay references raise intriguing questions. The GTA 6 community already pinpointed potential gameplay transitions, like when Jason enters his apartment.
In this part is the gameplay about to start?
