"GTA 6 Trailer 2 on PS5 Sets High Expectations"

The excitement surrounding Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) continues to build, especially after the release of its second trailer. Rockstar Games announced on Twitter (X) on May 8 that this trailer was captured entirely using the PlayStation 5, setting high expectations for the game's visual and performance capabilities.

Captured Entirely Using PS5

Rockstar Games made it clear that the second trailer for GTA 6 was "captured entirely in-game from a PlayStation 5, composed of equal parts gameplay and cutscenes." This revelation left fans in awe of the trailer's high-quality visuals, with some questioning which segments were actual gameplay. A fan pointed out that all cutscenes in Rockstar Games are run in-game, yet many remain skeptical that the stunning visuals shown are indeed in-game footage and not just cutscenes.

Curiosity also arose about whether the trailer was captured using the standard PS5 or the PS5 Pro, given the significant performance and graphical differences between the two. Rockstar Games has not yet clarified this, leaving fans to speculate.

Things You Might Have Missed: GTA 6 Second Trailer

The trailer is packed with details, both overt and subtle, that keen-eyed fans have been dissecting. One notable return is Phil Cassidy, a beloved character from previous GTA titles. While his design has changed, particularly his physique, his role in the gun business remains the same, this time associated with the Ammu-Nation store chain.

Eagle-eyed viewers also spotted a PS5 console and controller within the trailer, reinforcing the fact that it was captured using this system. This nod to the console adds an extra layer of excitement for PS5 owners.

Rockstar Games appears to be reviving the Gym System, first introduced in GTA San Andreas, as evidenced by protagonist Jason Duval working out on a beach. The trailer also teases a variety of activities, including golf, fishing, scuba diving, hunting, basketball, kayaking, and fight clubs. While not officially confirmed, these activities are likely to be part of the game, given that everything shown in the trailer was captured in-game.

As fans continue to uncover new references and easter eggs daily, anticipation for GTA 6 remains high despite its recent delay. The game is now scheduled for release on May 26, 2026, on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Stay tuned to our updates for the latest on GTA 6!
