"GTA 6 Trailer 2 on PS5 Sets High Expectations"

Rockstar Games has thrilled fans with the announcement that the second trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) was captured entirely using the PlayStation 5. Dive into the details of how the trailer was presented and uncover the hidden gems fans might have missed in the video.

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.

Things You Might Have Missed: GTA 6 Second Trailer

The trailer was packed with details, some of which were subtle and required multiple viewings to spot. One exciting reveal was the return of Phil Cassidy, a beloved character known for selling guns. Fans noticed a change in his physique, suggesting a new take on the character, though his personality remains intact, still involved in the Ammu-Nation gun business.

Eagle-eyed viewers also spotted a PS5 console and controller in the trailer, hinting at the system used to capture the footage.

Rockstar appears to be bringing back the Gym System, first seen in GTA San Andreas, where players can work out to enhance their character's build. The protagonist, Jason Duval, was shown exercising on a beach. The trailer also teased various activities like golf, fishing, scuba diving, hunting, basketball, kayaking, and fight clubs, which, given Rockstar's statement about in-game capture, might actually be playable in GTA 6.

As fans continue to dissect the trailer, more references and easter eggs are being discovered daily. Despite the recent delay, anticipation for GTA 6 remains high. The game is now slated for release on May 26, 2026, on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Stay tuned for more updates and detailed insights into the world of GTA 6!
