A day after surprising fans with a new delay announcement, Rockstar has confirmed that the highly anticipated second trailer for GTA 6 features a blend of gameplay and cutscenes, all captured in real-time on a PlayStation 5.
This trailer, released recently, provided a deeper dive into the game’s vibrant world, which revisits the Miami-inspired Vice City, along with a cast of intriguing characters. Following its debut, Rockstar shared more character details and plenty of screenshots for fans to explore.
As expected, the trailer sparked lively conversations online. Many praised the stunning visuals and intricate details, while some humorously shared images of protagonist Jason’s toned physique. Others cast doubt on Rockstar’s claim that everything was captured on a standard PS5, speculating whether a more powerful PS5 Pro was actually used.
To address this skepticism, Rockstar confirmed that the trailer was indeed generated entirely on the PS5. They tweeted, “Grand Theft Auto 6 Trailer 2 was captured entirely in-game from a PlayStation 5,” emphasizing the mix of gameplay and cutscenes.
While this news has fans buzzing with excitement, the downside is that GTA 6 is still quite a ways off. After repeated assurances that the game would launch this autumn, publisher Take-Two Interactive announced a new release date of May 26 next year. They cited the need for extra time to ensure the game meets high-quality standards.
This delay not only adds to the anticipation but also creates an opening in the gaming calendar. Publishers who were hesitant to schedule their releases around GTA 6 might now feel emboldened to announce their own dates. Earlier this year, industry executives expressed concern about the chaos GTA 6’s initial lack of a release date caused, with one remarking, “We don’t want to be anywhere near that.”
With a full year left until GTA 6 arrives on Xbox Series X/S and PS5, updates may be sparse for some time. For now, fans can look forward to the details still unfolding about this exciting new chapter in the Grand Theft Auto series.
Interestingly, in recent discussions surrounding gaming trends, experts suggest that the gaming industry could see significant shifts as competition heats up, especially in the open-world genre. According to a survey by Newzoo, 60% of gamers are eager for new experiences and are open to exploring titles outside mainstream franchises. This could lead rival developers to innovate more boldly, especially now that they have the chance to draw attention while waiting for GTA 6’s release.
As we await further announcements from Rockstar, it’s worth keeping an eye on the evolving landscape of gaming. For more on Rockstar’s latest updates, check their official website.
