Rockstar Games has set the bar high with the second trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6), which was captured entirely using the PlayStation 5. This revelation has sparked excitement and curiosity among fans about the game's visual and gameplay capabilities. Dive in to discover more about the trailer and the hidden details you might have missed.
Captured Entirely Using PS5
Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) continues to generate buzz with its latest trailer, showcasing stunning realism and quality. On May 8, Rockstar Games announced on Twitter (X) that the second 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 seamless quality of the footage made it challenging to distinguish between gameplay and cutscenes. Some fans speculated that all cutscenes in Rockstar games run in-game, yet many were skeptical that what they saw was entirely in-game and not just meticulously crafted cutscenes.
Additionally, fans have been questioning whether the trailer was recorded on a standard PS5 or the rumored PS5 Pro, given the significant differences in performance and graphics between the two. Rockstar Games has yet to clarify this, leaving fans to speculate about the hardware used.
