GTA 6 Second Trailer: Captured Entirely Using PS5

Rockstar Games announced on their X (formerly Twitter) account on May 8 that the second trailer for GTA 6 was "captured entirely in-game from a PlayStation 5, composed of equal parts gameplay and cutscenes." This revelation left fans in awe of the trailer's realism and quality, leading to speculation about which segments were gameplay, as the entire video seemed like a seamless blend of high-quality cutscenes.

A keen-eyed fan noted that all cutscenes in Rockstar Games' titles run in-game, yet the high fidelity of the trailer led some to question whether what they saw was truly in-game footage or purely cinematic sequences. Additionally, fans were curious about whether the trailer was captured on the standard PS5 or the more powerful PS5 Pro, given the significant performance and graphical differences between the two. Rockstar Games has not yet clarified this, leaving fans to speculate.

The trailer is packed with details, some of which require multiple viewings to catch. One exciting reveal is the return of Phil Cassidy, a beloved character known for his involvement in the gun trade. Although his appearance has changed, his role remains the same, running the Ammu-Nation store chain. A subtle nod to the trailer's capture system was the inclusion of a PS5 console and controller within the video itself.

Another feature teased in the trailer is the potential return of the Gym System, first seen in GTA San Andreas, where players could enhance their character's physique. Protagonist Jason Duval is shown working out on a beach, hinting at this feature's inclusion. The trailer also showcases various activities, such as golf, fishing, scuba diving, hunting, basketball, kayaking, and fight clubs, suggesting these may be part of the final game, given that everything shown was captured in-game.

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 dedicated article below!
