The buzz around Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) has reached new heights with the release of its second trailer, which was captured entirely on the PlayStation 5. Rockstar Games announced this detail on X (formerly Twitter) on May 8, sparking a wave of excitement and speculation among fans. The trailer showcased stunning realism and quality, leading many to question which segments were gameplay versus cutscenes, given the seamless integration and high production values.
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 fans in awe, as the entire video appeared to be of cutscene quality. One fan noted that all cutscenes in Rockstar's titles run in-game, yet some viewers remained skeptical, unable to believe the visuals were achievable in real-time gameplay.
The mention of the PlayStation 5 sparked curiosity about whether Rockstar used the standard PS5 or the rumored PS5 Pro, given the significant performance differences. Rockstar has yet to clarify this, leaving fans to speculate on the potential of the upcoming console versions.
The trailer is packed with details, some of which are easy to miss. One notable return is Phil Cassidy, a familiar face from previous GTA games, now seen with a revamped physique but still deeply involved in the gun trade through the Ammu-Nation store chain. His presence hints at a continuity of character and business within the GTA universe.
Eagle-eyed viewers also spotted a PS5 console and controller in the trailer, a subtle nod to the system used for capturing the footage.
Another exciting reveal was the potential return of the Gym System, first seen in GTA San Andreas. The trailer shows protagonist Jason Duval working out on a beach, suggesting that players might once again customize their character's physique through gym activities.
The trailer also teased a variety of other activities, including golf, fishing, scuba diving, hunting, basketball, kayaking, and fight clubs. While not officially confirmed, these glimpses into the game's world suggest a rich and diverse set of experiences for players.
As fans continue to dissect the trailer, more references and Easter eggs are discovered daily. Despite the recent delay announcement, anticipation for GTA 6 remains high. The game is now scheduled for release on May 26, 2026, for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Stay tuned to our articles for the latest updates on GTA 6!
