Captured Entirely Using PS5

Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) has been generating buzz with its latest announcements and reveals, particularly with its stunning second trailer. On May 8, Rockstar Games took to Twitter (X) to share that the trailer was "captured entirely in-game from a PlayStation 5, composed of equal parts gameplay and cutscenes." The visual quality was so high that many fans mistook the gameplay for cutscenes, sparking discussions on which segments were actual gameplay. A fan clarified that all cutscenes in Rockstar Games run in-game, yet some remain skeptical about the seamless integration of gameplay and cinematic sequences.

Curiosity also arose about whether the trailer was captured using the standard PS5 or the more powerful PS5 Pro, given the significant differences in performance and graphical capabilities. Rockstar has yet to clarify this, leaving fans to speculate.
