"GTA 6 Trailer 2 Sets High Expectations with PS5 Use"

The excitement surrounding Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) continues to build, with fans eagerly dissecting every detail of its latest trailer. Rockstar Games recently announced on X (formerly Twitter) on May 8 that the second trailer was captured entirely using the PlayStation 5, showcasing the console's impressive capabilities. The trailer, described as "captured entirely in-game from a PlayStation 5, composed of equal parts gameplay and cutscenes," has left fans in awe of its high-quality visuals. Some viewers were initially skeptical, questioning whether what they saw was truly gameplay or just cutscenes, given the seamless quality. A fan clarified that all cutscenes in Rockstar Games' titles run in-game, yet the debate continues as fans marvel at the realism.

Curiosity also surrounds whether the footage was captured on a standard PS5 or the rumored PS5 Pro, due to the significant performance and graphical differences between the two. Rockstar Games has not yet provided clarity on this, leaving fans to speculate.

Things You Might Have Missed: GTA 6 Second Trailer

The trailer is packed with details, some more subtle than others. One notable return is Phil Cassidy, a familiar face from the GTA series, seen running an Ammu-Nation store chain. Though his appearance has changed, his role in the gun business remains the same. A keen-eyed viewer spotted a PS5 console and controller in the trailer, a subtle nod to the system used to capture the footage.

Another exciting possibility hinted at in the trailer is the return of the Gym System, first seen in GTA San Andreas. The protagonist, Jason Duval, is shown working out on a beach, suggesting that players might once again be able to customize their character's physique through gym activities. The trailer also teases various other activities, such as golf, fishing, scuba diving, hunting, basketball, kayaking, and fight clubs, which, if included, would enrich the gameplay experience significantly.

Fans continue to uncover new references and Easter eggs daily, keeping the anticipation alive despite the game's recent delay. GTA 6 is now slated for release on May 26, 2026, on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. For the latest updates on the game, be sure to check out our comprehensive coverage below!
