Rockstar Games has confirmed that the second trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) was captured entirely using the PlayStation 5, setting high expectations for the game's visual fidelity and gameplay experience. Dive into the details of the trailer and discover some of the hidden gems fans might have overlooked.

GTA 6 Second Trailer: Captured on PS5

The buzz around GTA 6 continues to grow, especially after the release of its second trailer. The stunning realism and high-quality visuals left fans in awe. On May 8, Rockstar Games took to Twitter (X) to announce that the trailer was "captured entirely in-game from a PlayStation 5, composed of equal parts gameplay and cutscenes." This revelation sparked discussions about which segments were actual gameplay, as the entire trailer looked like it could be a seamless cinematic experience.

Some fans expressed skepticism, questioning whether what they saw was truly in-game footage, given its polished appearance. A keen observer noted that all cutscenes in Rockstar Games titles run in-engine, blurring the lines between gameplay and cinematic sequences. Additionally, fans speculated whether the trailer was captured on a standard PS5 or the rumored PS5 Pro, which could significantly impact graphical performance. Rockstar has yet to clarify this, leaving fans to speculate.

Hidden Details in GTA 6's Second Trailer

The trailer is packed with details, some of which are easy to spot while others require a closer look. One notable return is the character Phil Cassidy, known for selling weapons to players in previous GTA titles. However, his appearance in the trailer suggests a redesign, particularly in terms of physique, leading fans to wonder if this is the same Phil they've come to know.

Despite the change in design, Phil seems to retain his personality and role in the gun trade, now associated with the Ammu-Nation store chain. Observant viewers also spotted a PS5 console and controller in the trailer, a subtle nod to the system used for its capture.

The trailer hints at the return of the Gym System, first introduced in GTA San Andreas, where protagonist Jason Duval is seen working out on a beach. This suggests that players might once again be able to customize their character's physique through gym activities.

Other activities showcased include golf, fishing, scuba diving, hunting, basketball, kayaking, and fight clubs, hinting at a diverse range of gameplay options. Although not officially confirmed, these elements were all captured in-game, according to Rockstar, suggesting they may be part of the final product.

As fans continue to uncover more references and Easter eggs, excitement for GTA 6 remains high despite its recent delay. The game is now scheduled to launch on May 26, 2026, for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Stay tuned for more updates and insights by checking out our dedicated article below!
