GTA 6 Trailer 2 Filmed on Base PS5, Shows Gameplay

Does GTA 6 Trailer 2 seem too impressive to be genuine? Some skeptics have pointed to the fine print at the trailer's end, which stated it was captured on PS5, raising speculation that the footage might actually be from a PS5 Pro or a PC. Rockstar, however, has firmly refuted this.

In a social media update, the developer clarified that GTA 6 Trailer 2 was recorded "entirely in-game" using a PlayStation 5, and importantly, it blends gameplay and cutscenes in equal measure.

Here is Rockstar's official statement in full:

Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer 2 was captured entirely in-game from a PlayStation 5, comprised of equal parts gameplay and cutscenes.

This confirmation makes GTA 6 even more remarkable. The level of detail in Trailer 2 is astounding, and we now know with certainty that it was 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 technical wizards at Rockstar are once again showcasing their prowess, but their mention of gameplay in Trailer 2 has also prompted discussion about which specific moments are gameplay. One notable instance, already highlighted by the GTA 6 community, appears to be a transition from a cutscene to gameplay as Jason enters his apartment.
