GTA 6 Second Trailer Information
Captured Entirely Using PS5
Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) continues to captivate fans with its stunning visuals and detailed gameplay, as evidenced by its second trailer. On May 8, Rockstar Games announced via Twitter (X) that the trailer was "captured entirely in-game from a PlayStation 5, composed of equal parts gameplay and cutscenes." This revelation left many fans in awe, struggling to differentiate between gameplay and cutscenes due to the trailer's high quality. A fan noted that all cutscenes at Rockstar Games are run in-game, yet skepticism persists about whether what was shown is truly in-game footage.
Moreover, the mention of PlayStation 5 sparked curiosity about whether it refers to the standard PS5 or the PS5 Pro, given the significant differences in performance and graphics. As of now, Rockstar Games has not 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. One notable return is Phil Cassidy, a familiar face from the GTA series, now involved with the Ammu-Nation store chain. Fans noticed changes in his appearance, particularly his physique, sparking discussions about whether this is the same Phil they know.
Despite the physical alterations, Phil's character remains consistent, still deeply entrenched in the gun trade. Additionally, eagle-eyed viewers spotted a PS5 console and controller in the trailer, a clear nod to the system used for its capture.
Another exciting feature 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 players might again have the chance to customize their character's physique.
The trailer also teases a variety of activities, including golf, fishing, scuba diving, hunting, basketball, kayaking, and fight clubs. While not officially confirmed, these glimpses suggest they could be part of the final game, especially since Rockstar stated that everything shown was captured in-game.
As fans continue to dissect the trailer, more references and Easter eggs are being discovered daily. Despite the recent delay announcement, anticipation for GTA 6 remains high. The game is now scheduled for release on May 26, 2026, on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Stay tuned for more updates by checking out our related articles below!
