"GTA 6 Trailer 2 Raises Bar with PS5"

The second trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) has set the gaming world abuzz with its stunning realism and quality. Rockstar Games confirmed on May 8 via Twitter (X) that the entire trailer was captured using the PlayStation 5, showcasing the console's powerful capabilities.

Captured Entirely Using PS5

The trailer was "captured entirely in-game from a PlayStation 5, composed of equal parts gameplay and cutscenes," according to Rockstar Games. This revelation left many fans in awe, as the footage appeared so lifelike that it was hard to distinguish between gameplay and cutscenes. A fan pointed out that all cutscenes in Rockstar Games run in-game, yet skepticism persists among some who can't believe the quality is achievable in real-time gameplay.

There's also curiosity surrounding whether the trailer was captured on a standard PS5 or the anticipated PS5 Pro, given the significant performance and graphical differences between the two. Rockstar Games has not yet clarified this, leaving fans to speculate.
