Does the second GTA 6 trailer look too good to be genuine? Some skeptics question a detail in the fine print at the end of the video, which states it was recorded on a PS5, arguing the visuals may actually be from a PS5 Pro or a high-end PC. But Rockstar Games denies this.
In a recent social media update, the developer clarified that the second GTA 6 trailer was captured entirely using in-game footage from a PlayStation 5. Moreover, they confirmed it consists of an even split between actual gameplay and cinematic sequences.
Rockstar released the following official statement:
Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer 2 was captured entirely in-game from a PlayStation 5, comprised of equal parts gameplay and cutscenes.
This information makes GTA 6 all the more remarkable. The second trailer showcases an incredible level of detail, and we now know for certain that it’s running on a console that is already five years old. By the time GTA 6 launches on May 26, 2026, the PS5 will be five and a half years old.
The talented developers at Rockstar are once again showing their mastery, but highlighting gameplay in the trailer also raises questions about exactly which scenes qualify. One widely discussed moment among GTA 6 fans is the shot where Jason enters his apartment—what appears to be a seamless transition from a cutscene into gameplay.
In this part is the gameplay about to start?
