Is GTA 6 Trailer 2 too good to be true? That’s the question on many players’ minds after the stunning reveal sparked debate over its authenticity. Specifically, attention turned to the small print at the end of the trailer stating it was captured on a PS5. Skeptics speculated the footage might actually come from a more powerful system—like a PS5 Pro or a high-end PC—given the incredible visual fidelity.
Rockstar has now put those doubts to rest. In an official social media statement, the developer confirmed that GTA 6 Trailer 2 was captured “entirely in-game” from a standard PlayStation 5. Even more impressively, the trailer is made up of “equal parts” gameplay and 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 confirmation makes the technical achievement even more remarkable. The trailer showcases incredibly detailed environments, lifelike animations, and seamless transitions—running natively on a console that, by the time of GTA 6’s May 26, 2026 release, will be over five years old.
Rockstar’s development team continues to push the boundaries of what’s possible, but their mention of real gameplay within the trailer has also raised new curiosity. Fans are now closely analyzing every frame to identify which moments are interactive gameplay versus pre-rendered sequences. One scene in particular—where Jason enters his apartment—has sparked widespread discussion across the GTA community.
