Details About GTA 6's Second Trailer

Fully Recorded on PS5

Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) continues to generate excitement with its latest announcements and reveals, including a brand-new trailer. The second trailer impressed fans with its striking realism and visual quality. On May 8, Rockstar Games shared on Twitter (X) that the entire trailer was recorded using a PlayStation 5.

The announcement explained that the footage was "captured entirely in-game from a PlayStation 5, composed of equal parts gameplay and cutscenes." Given the high level of polish, some viewers questioned which segments represented actual gameplay, as everything appeared to be pre-rendered cutscenes. One fan clarified that all cinematic sequences in Rockstar titles run in real-time within the game engine, though others remain skeptical that what they saw was indeed gameplay rather than purely scripted scenes.

Additionally, speculation arose as to whether Rockstar used a standard PS5 or the rumored PS5 Pro, given the potential performance and graphical differences between the models. These questions have yet to be addressed by the developer, leaving fans to form their own conclusions for now.

Hidden Details in GTA 6's Second Trailer

The trailer presented a wealth of content, with some elements immediately noticeable and others requiring closer inspection. One key observation is the return of Phil Cassidy, a recurring arms dealer from earlier titles. However, fans noted alterations in his appearance, particularly his physique, raising questions about whether this is the same character they remember.

Despite his updated look, Phil appears to retain his familiar personality and remains involved in the firearms trade through the Ammu-Nation store chain. Another highlight in the video was a visible PS5 console and controller, potentially hinting at the hardware used to produce the trailer.

Rockstar also seems to be reviving the Gym System, first introduced in GTA San Andreas, which allowed players to visit gyms and customize their character's physique. This is supported by a scene showing protagonist Jason Duval exercising on a beach.

Other activities featured in the trailer include golf, fishing, scuba diving, hunting, basketball, kayaking, and fight clubs. While not officially confirmed, the fact that Rockstar stated everything was captured in-game suggests these could be actual gameplay features.

As time goes on, fans continue to uncover more references and Easter eggs. Despite the recent news of a delayed launch, anticipation remains strong for the game's eventual release. GTA 6 is now scheduled to launch on May 26, 2026, for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. For ongoing updates and news about the game, be sure to explore our related article below!
