GTA 6 Second Trailer Information
Captured Entirely Using PS5
Rockstar Games took to Twitter (X) on May 8 to announce that the second trailer for GTA 6 was "captured entirely in-game from a PlayStation 5, composed of equal parts gameplay and cutscenes." The stunning realism and high-quality visuals led many to question which segments were actual gameplay, as everything appeared seamless and cinematic. A fan noted that all cutscenes in Rockstar's titles run in-game, yet some remain skeptical about the footage being entirely in-game rather than pre-rendered cutscenes.
Speculation also arose regarding whether the trailer was captured on a standard PS5 or the speculated PS5 Pro, due to the significant performance and graphical differences between the two. Rockstar has yet to clarify this, leaving fans to ponder the possibilities.

The trailer is packed with both overt and subtle details. One of the standout returns is Phil Cassidy, a familiar face from the GTA series known for his gun-selling antics. Fans noticed a change in his appearance, sparking discussions about whether this is the same Phil they've come to know and love. Despite the altered physique, Phil's character remains true to form, still deeply involved in the Ammu-Nation store chain.
Eagle-eyed viewers also spotted a PS5 console and controller within the trailer, a clear nod to the system used for capturing the footage.
Another exciting hint at returning features is the Gym System, reminiscent of its introduction in GTA San Andreas. The protagonist, Jason Duval, is shown working out on a beach, suggesting that players might once again have the opportunity to sculpt their character's physique.
The trailer also teased a variety of activities, including golf, fishing, scuba diving, hunting, basketball, kayaking, and fight clubs. While not officially confirmed, these scenes, given Rockstar's statement about in-game footage, hint at a rich and diverse set of in-game experiences.
As fans continue to dissect the trailer, new references and easter eggs are discovered daily. Despite the recent delay announcement, anticipation remains high for GTA 6, now scheduled for release on May 26, 2026, on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
