Does Grand Theft Auto VI's second trailer seem too impressive to believe? Some skeptics pointed to the fine print at the end stating it was captured on PlayStation 5, speculating the footage might have originated from a PS5 Pro or a high-end PC. However, Rockstar has officially set the record straight.
In a recent social media announcement, the developer confirmed that GTA 6 Trailer 2 was recorded entirely in real-time on a standard PlayStation 5 system. Furthermore, they clarified that the video is an equal mix of actual gameplay sequences and pre-rendered cutscenes.
Here is Rockstar's complete statement:
Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer 2 was captured entirely in-game from a PlayStation 5, comprised of equal parts gameplay and cutscenes.
This revelation makes the technical achievement even more remarkable. The second trailer's visuals are incredibly detailed, and we now have definitive confirmation they were running on hardware that's already five years old. By the time GTA 6 launches on May 26, 2026, the PS5 will be five and a half years into its lifecycle.
Rockstar's development team continues to demonstrate their technical prowess, though their reference to gameplay footage has ignited discussions about which specific moments represent interactive sequences. The community has already identified one likely candidate: the apparent transition from cutscene to gameplay when Jason enters his apartment.
In this part is the gameplay about to start?
