GTA 6 Trailer 2 Raises Expectations with PS5 Use

The excitement surrounding Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) continues to grow, especially after the release of its second trailer. Fans have been captivated by the stunning realism and high-quality visuals showcased in the video. Rockstar Games announced via Twitter (X) on May 8 that the trailer was entirely captured using the PlayStation 5, sparking a wave of interest and discussion among the gaming community.

Captured Entirely Using PS5

Rockstar Games clarified that the trailer was "captured entirely in-game from a PlayStation 5, composed of equal parts gameplay and cutscenes." This statement left some fans puzzled, as the seamless quality of the video made it difficult to distinguish between gameplay and cutscenes. A fan noted that all cutscenes in Rockstar's games run in-game, yet some remained skeptical about whether the footage was purely in-game or included pre-rendered sequences.

Additionally, the mention of the PS5 raised questions about which version was used—standard or Pro—due to the significant performance and graphical differences. As of now, Rockstar Games has not provided further details, leaving fans to speculate.

Things You Might Have Missed: GTA 6 Second Trailer

Upon closer inspection, the trailer reveals numerous details and easter eggs. One notable return is Phil Cassidy, a familiar character from previous GTA games, who appears to be back in the arms business with an Ammu-Nation store chain. However, fans noticed a change in his physique, suggesting a new design while maintaining his core personality.

A subtle nod to the PS5 was also spotted in the trailer, with a PS5 console and controller visible in one scene, reinforcing the fact that the footage was captured using the console.

The trailer hints at the return of the Gym System, a feature first introduced in GTA San Andreas, where the protagonist Jason Duval is seen working out on a beach. This suggests that players might once again have the ability to enhance their character's build.

Other activities glimpsed in the trailer include golf, fishing, scuba diving, hunting, basketball, kayaking, and fight clubs. While not officially confirmed, these scenes could indicate the diverse range of activities available in the game, especially since Rockstar stated that everything shown was captured in-game.

As fans continue to uncover more references and easter eggs, anticipation for GTA 6 remains high, despite a recent delay. 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 in-depth coverage in our ongoing articles!
