Rockstar Games has set the gaming world abuzz with the announcement that the second trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) was captured entirely on the PlayStation 5. This revelation, shared via Twitter (X) on May 8, has left fans in awe of the stunning realism and high-quality visuals showcased in the trailer. The post clarified that the footage was "captured entirely in-game from a PlayStation 5, composed of equal parts gameplay and cutscenes." This statement sparked curiosity among the community, with some fans questioning which segments were actual gameplay, as the seamless quality made everything appear as cutscenes. One fan noted that all cutscenes in Rockstar Games are run in-game, yet skepticism persists about the footage being purely in-game rather than a mix of pre-rendered scenes.
Additionally, there's been speculation about whether the trailer was captured on a standard PS5 or the anticipated PS5 Pro, due to the significant performance and graphical differences between the two. Rockstar Games has not yet clarified this, leaving fans to speculate further.
