GTA 6 Trailer 2 Shot on Base PS5, Features Gameplay

Is GTA 6's second trailer too impressive to be real? Some skeptics questioned the fine print stating it was captured on PS5, speculating the footage might originate from a PS5 Pro or PC. Rockstar has officially debunked these claims.

The developer confirmed via social media that GTA 6 Trailer 2 was captured "entirely in-game" using a standard PS5, with an equal mix of gameplay and cinematic sequences. 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 GTA 6 even more remarkable. The trailer's stunning graphical detail, we now know definitively, runs on hardware that will be over five years old when the game launches on May 26, 2026.

While Rockstar continues to work their technical wizardry, their mention of gameplay footage has prompted the community to analyze which trailer moments represent actual gameplay. The most discussed transition appears when Jason enters his apartment - does this mark the shift from cutscene to gameplay?
