Is GTA 6 Trailer 2 Too Impressive? Some skeptics questioned the fine print stating the footage was captured on PS5, speculating it might have come from a PS5 Pro or high-end PC. Rockstar has officially clarified these doubts.
In a recent social media post, Rockstar confirmed that GTA 6 Trailer 2 was captured "entirely in-game" on a standard PS5, with an even split between gameplay sequences and cinematic cutscenes.
Here's Rockstar's full statement:
Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer 2 was captured entirely in-game from a PlayStation 5, comprised of equal parts gameplay and cutscenes.
This revelation makes the trailer's visual fidelity even more astounding, knowing it's running on hardware that will be over five years old at the game's May 2026 launch. The level of detail shown in the trailer now serves as a testament to Rockstar's technical prowess.
