Rockstar explains how ‘GTA 6’ trailer was made and posts dozens of screenshots

The previous week or so has been an actual whirlwind for anybody lookin ahead to Grand Theft Auto VI.

Final Friday, Rockstar instructed us the sport was delayed to the center of 2026. Then, on Tuesday, we acquired a shock second trailer for the sport, filled with story bits and a few seems on the very real looking and vigorous trying model of Vice Metropolis that acts as its setting. Lastly, on Wednesday, Rockstar revealed yet one more very fascinating element in regards to the trailer itself: It was captured totally on a base PlayStation 5 console, and apparently options “equal parts” gameplay and cutscenes.

This Tweet is at present unavailable. It is perhaps loading or has been eliminated.

The primary a part of that announcement is a really nice shock. There’s been a vibe on-line for some time now that Rockstar is making a recreation world so giant, fully-featured, and vibrant that it’s going to battle to run on present {hardware}. Listening to that Rockstar was capable of seize the entire footage on this trailer, which does certainly look unbelievable on a technical stage, on a daily PS5, is heartening for people who thought they’d be left behind with out upgrading to no less than a PS5 Professional.

It is more durable to suss out which elements of the trailer are cutscenes and that are gameplay. A big majority of it, to me, seems like cutscenes, however there are just a few pictures of the protagonists driving automobiles, airboats, and jet-skis that appear like they might conceivably be gameplay footage. None of it’s proven from a third-person gameplay digital camera angle, although, so it is actually laborious to inform what’s and is not operating in real-time.

Past all of that, Rockstar posted an absolute bounty of 70 screenshots from the sport on its web site to go alongside the trailer. There are clearly method too many to share on this one article, however I picked out my favorites.
