Captured Entirely Using PS5

The buzz around Grand Theft Auto VI has been electric, especially with the release of its second trailer. The stunning visuals left fans in awe, prompting Rockstar Games to share on Twitter (X) on May 8 that the footage was "captured entirely in-game from a PlayStation 5, composed of equal parts gameplay and cutscenes." This revelation sparked curiosity about which segments were gameplay, as the entire trailer looked like it could be cutscenes due to its high fidelity. One fan noted that Rockstar's cutscenes are typically rendered in-game, yet skepticism persists among some who find it hard to believe that what they saw was entirely in-game.

The mention of PlayStation 5 also raised questions about whether the footage was from a standard PS5 or the anticipated PS5 Pro, given the significant performance and graphical differences between the two. 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, some more subtle than others. One notable return is Phil Cassidy, a familiar face from previous games who deals in weaponry. Fans noticed a change in his appearance, particularly his physique, sparking discussions on whether this is the same Phil they've come to know. Despite the updated look, Phil's involvement in the gun trade, including running an Ammu-Nation store, suggests his character remains unchanged in essence. Additionally, eagle-eyed viewers spotted a PS5 console and controller in the trailer, a clever nod to the system used for its capture.

Rockstar Games might also be bringing back the Gym System, a feature loved in GTA San Andreas, where players could work on their character's physique. The trailer shows protagonist Jason Duval exercising on a beach, hinting at the return of this beloved feature. Other activities glimpsed in the trailer include golf, fishing, scuba diving, hunting, basketball, kayaking, and fight clubs, suggesting a diverse range of in-game experiences.

As fans continue to dissect the trailer, discovering new references and Easter eggs daily, anticipation for GTA 6 remains high. Despite a recent delay, the game is now scheduled for release on May 26, 2026, on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Stay tuned to our articles for the latest updates on this highly anticipated title.
