Rockstar Games has confirmed that the highly anticipated GTA 6 second trailer was captured entirely on a standard PlayStation 5, sending waves of excitement through the gaming community. This revelation has not only highlighted the game’s stunning visual fidelity but also raised expectations for what the final product might deliver at launch.
Captured Entirely on PS5
The Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) trailer has captivated fans worldwide with its cinematic quality and lifelike environments. On May 8, Rockstar Games took to Twitter (X) to announce that the entire trailer—both gameplay and cutscenes—was captured in real-time using a retail PlayStation 5. The official post stated it was “captured entirely in-game from a PlayStation 5, composed of equal parts gameplay and cutscenes.”
This sparked debate among fans, many of whom initially assumed the footage was pre-rendered due to its polished, movie-like presentation. However, Rockstar has long used in-engine cutscenes across its titles, meaning even the most cinematic moments run live within the game world. While some remain skeptical about the full extent of the gameplay shown, the confirmation reinforces the game’s technical advancements.
A lingering question among the community is whether Rockstar used the base PS5 or the rumored PS5 Pro for capture. Given the graphical richness on display, speculation is growing about enhanced hardware involvement. However, Rockstar has not clarified this detail, leaving fans to speculate until further information is released.
Hidden Details You Might Have Missed in the GTA 6 Trailer
Beyond the surface-level spectacle, the trailer is packed with subtle nods, character returns, and potential gameplay mechanics that may have slipped past casual viewers.
One of the most notable cameos appears to be Phil Cassidy, the eccentric arms dealer from previous GTA titles. While his physical appearance has evolved—particularly his physique—his presence near an Ammu-Nation store suggests he’s still deeply involved in the weapon trade. His personality seems unchanged, hinting at a continued role in supplying players with firepower.
Eagle-eyed fans also spotted a PS5 console and controller in one of the interior scenes—a clever meta-reference confirming the platform used to capture the trailer. Whether this is just a subtle joke or a deeper narrative inclusion remains to be seen.
The trailer also hints at the return of the Gym System, last seen in GTA: San Andreas. Protagonist Jason Duval is shown working out on a beach, indicating that character customization through physical training could be back. This system may allow players to build strength, endurance, and appearance—adding a new layer of immersion.
Additionally, the trailer showcases a wide array of in-game activities, including golf, fishing, scuba diving, hunting, basketball, kayaking, and underground fight clubs. Since Rockstar emphasized that all footage is in-game, these aren’t just concept shots—they’re strong indicators of actual gameplay features.
With new easter eggs and references being discovered daily, the community continues to dissect every frame. Despite the recent delay, anticipation remains sky-high. GTA 6 is now officially set for release on May 26, 2026, exclusively for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
