Rockstar Captures GTA 6 Trailer 2 Gameplay on Base PS5

Is the second GTA 6 trailer almost too good to believe? Some are questioning the fine print at the end which stated it was captured on PS5, speculating that the footage might have come from a PS5 Pro or a high-end PC instead. However, Rockstar has clarified otherwise.

In a social media post, the developer confirmed that GTA 6 Trailer 2 was captured "entirely in-game" directly from a PlayStation 5 system. They further revealed that the trailer consists of "equal parts" real gameplay and cinematic cutscenes.

Here is Rockstar's complete statement on the matter:

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 GTA 6's visuals even more impressive. The level of detail in Trailer 2 is stunning, and we now know for certain it's running on a console that is already five years old. By the time GTA 6 launches on May 26, 2026, the PlayStation 5 will be over five and a half years old.

The technical wizards at Rockstar are once again showcasing their mastery, though their mention of gameplay footage has led to questions about which specific moments qualify. A prominent theory from the community, for example, points to a scene where Jason enters an apartment, which appears to transition from a cutscene into gameplay.
