Crucially, Rockstar besides confirmed that Trailer 2 is “comprised of adjacent parts gameplay and cutscenes.”

Taken astatine look value, Trailer 2 does not look to diagnostic gameplay, with astir of what we spot looking similar cutscene material. There is present Heads-Up Display (HUD) shown, nary controller icons, oregon immoderate different constituent that would suggest gameplay is successful there.

However, fixed Rockstar’s statement, we tin presume that determination is gameplay, conscionable with the HUD turned disconnected and the camera possibly successful a non-gameplay position. So, what bits of Trailer 2 acceptable the bill? That’s precisely what the GTA assemblage is trying to enactment retired close now.

The astir evident campaigner was already flagged arsenic a imaginable cutscene to gameplay modulation moment: erstwhile Jason enters his apartment. It seems a harmless stake that this is gameplay, and perchance adjacent however players volition statesman GTA 6.

• Lucia’s combat grooming (another imaginable mini-game)
• Lucia shooting what looks similar a grenade launcher astatine constabulary cars (the camera is successful a third-person position here)

• The chopper pursuit implicit the swamp
• Jason and Lucia jetskiing
• Jason riding a motorbike
• Jason jumping into a car Lucia is driving

That’s a agelong database (remember, Rockstar said "equal parts"), but what it boils down to is that the gameplay is astir apt each the bits that aren’t evidently cutscenes. That is, each the bits wherever a quality does not talk.

Trailer 2 is already breaking viewership records but it’s besides wowing fans, and the thought that we’re seeing in-engine PS5 gameplay footage present is beauteous spectacular. Yes, the HUD is turned off, and yes, Rockstar is positioning the camera successful ways players won’t beryllium capable to erstwhile they yet get to grips with the crippled successful May 2026, but we are getting a realistic look astatine what to expect adjacent twelvemonth - and that’s encouraging.

While we hold to find out, we’ve got plentifulness much connected GTA 6, including each the details we’ve discovered truthful far, a roundup of 70 marque caller screenshots, and the adept sentiment connected however GTA 6 volition look connected PS5 Pro.
