Incredible Showcase For Standard PS5!

Story Highlight
  • Rockstar Games says the GTA 6 trailer 2 was completely in-game.
  • It showed both cinematics and gameplay.
  • The team has also reiterated that the footage was recorded on a base PS5.

The second GTA 6 trailer left many fans in awe after showcasing incredible visuals without compromising the scale of Rockstar Games’ typical open world map. This footage became even more impressive when it was revealed that the trailer was captured on a standard PS5.

Rockstar Games has now returned with a few more details about this trailer. According to the studio, trailer 2 also showed actual gameplay.

Why it matters: While the footage was undoubtedly impressive, many were concerned that Rockstar Games had hand-picked cutscenes to show off incredible visuals outside of gameplay.

As per the studio, every part of the second trailer was captured in-game. This disclaimer is important because many games have used pre-rendered footage for marketing in the past.

Although Rockstar Games typically avoids this trend, fans have been glad to receive official confirmation for GTA 6. The studio has also stated that the trailer showed both gameplay and cinematic sections.

In particular, the introduction with Jason entering his house is believed to be the typical GTA-like transition from cutscene to gameplay. As such, the studio’s claims appear very valid.

The team has also reiterated that all of trailer 2 was captured on a base PS5. This statement has many fans waiting patiently for the eventual PS5 Pro and Xbox Series X videos, considering those consoles are more capable than the PS5.

The latest footage looks much more polished and refined than the first trailer. It also does a better job showcasing elements like ray-tracing, which adds an explicit layer of realism to GTA 6’s visual style.

All in all, Rockstar Games has certainly impressed everyone with its work. The game’s visuals will only improve from here, and things will get even better once the eventual PC port rolls around.
