GTA 6 Second Trailer Information
Captured Entirely Using PS5
Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) continues to generate buzz with its latest developments, particularly the release of its second trailer. The visual fidelity and realism showcased in the trailer left fans in awe. On May 8, Rockstar Games took to Twitter (X) to announce that the trailer was "captured entirely in-game from a PlayStation 5, composed of equal parts gameplay and cutscenes."
This revelation sparked discussions among fans, many of whom were initially skeptical about distinguishing between gameplay and cutscenes due to the trailer's high production quality. A fan clarified that all cutscenes in Rockstar's games are run in-game, yet some remain unconvinced that what they saw was entirely in-game footage.
Moreover, fans have been speculating whether the trailer was captured using a standard PS5 or the upcoming PS5 Pro, given the significant performance and graphical differences between the two. As of now, Rockstar Games has not clarified this, leaving fans to continue their speculation.
Things You Might Have Missed: GTA 6 Second Trailer
The trailer is packed with details, some of which are easy to spot, while others require a closer look. One notable return is Phil Cassidy, a familiar face from the GTA series known for his involvement in the arms trade. Fans noticed a change in his appearance, particularly his physique, suggesting a new iteration of the character.
Despite the change in appearance, Phil's personality remains consistent, still running the Ammu-Nation store chain. A subtle nod to the trailer's capture system was also spotted—a PS5 console and controller visible in one scene.
Another exciting feature hinted at in the trailer is the return of the Gym System, first seen in GTA San Andreas. The protagonist, Jason Duval, is shown working out on a beach, suggesting players might be able to customize their character's physique.
The trailer also teases a variety of activities including golf, fishing, scuba diving, hunting, basketball, kayaking, and fight clubs. Although not officially confirmed, these glimpses suggest they might be part of the game, especially since Rockstar confirmed the trailer was captured in-game.
As fans continue to discover new references and easter eggs, excitement remains high despite the game's delay. GTA 6 is now slated for release on May 26, 2026, on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Stay updated with the latest news by checking out our related article below!
