Rockstar says GTA 6's latest trailer was "gameplay and cutscenes" captured "entirely in-game" on PS5

A day after dropping jaws and making the recently anounced delay even tougher to bare, Rockstar has confirmed GTA 6’s hugely impressive second trailer was a mix of “gameplay and cutscenes” captured “entirely in-game” on a PlayStation 5.

GTA 6’s second trailer dropped earlier this week, offering a closer look at its world – which includes the return of the Miami-inspired Vice City – and its sprawling cast of characters than we saw in 2023’s scene-setting first showing. Rockstar subsequently released detailed character breakdowns and dozens upon dozens of screenshots for eager fans to scrutinise still further.

Inevitably, plenty of chatter immediately ensued, some of it lauding the incredible amount of detail on display, some of it frantically sharing screen captures of Jason’s rippling torso, and some of it casting doubt on the little note at the end of the trailer claiming it was all captured on PS5. At the very least, people speculated, Rockstar must have meant PS5 Pro?

But the developer has now moved to quell any lingering doubts, suggesting that, yes, everything we saw in its most recent trailer was indeed generated by Sony’s now nearly five-year-old console, and all of it was in-game. “Grand Theft Auto 6 Trailer 2 was captured entirely in-game from a PlayStation 5,” the studio confirmed in a statement shared on social media, “comprised of equal parts gameplay and cutscenes.”
