Neither on Xbox nor PC, Rockstar has captured the second GTA 6 trailer on PlayStation 5 for a reason
The studio confirms that all footage in the latest trailer was recorded on PlayStation 5.
Rockstar Games released the second trailer for GTA 6 on May 6, 2025, revealing new details about the highly anticipated game. While fans were impressed by the stunning visuals, Rockstar also confirmed that the entire trailer was captured on a PS5, not on Xbox Series X|S or PC.
This decision is likely tied to PlayStation’s ongoing partnership with Rockstar and its publisher, Take-Two Interactive. Former PlayStation CEO Jim Ryan previously stated in 2020 that the collaboration between the two companies would continue, suggesting that marketing deals remain in place.
Industry insiders have also reported that PlayStation secured a major promotional agreement with Rockstar, reinforcing why the PS5 version was chosen for the trailer showcase.
What does this mean for GTA 6’s performance?
Since the trailer was recorded on base PS5 hardware, Rockstar is signaling that the game will look this good on consoles at launch.
- The footage showcases ray-traced reflections, high-resolution textures, and detailed environments.
- The game runs at 4K resolution at 30 FPS, though performance details for PS5 Pro and Xbox Series X remain unclear.
While PC players are still waiting for confirmation on a PC release, Rockstar has officially stated that GTA 6 will launch on May 26, 2026, for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. With the second trailer now live, Rockstar is expected to reveal more gameplay footage and technical details in the coming months.
