The new GTA VI Trailer 2 managed to break viewership records by surpassing 475 million views in the first 24 hours, which managed to beat both Deadpool vs. Wolverine and some other record-holding trailers. The trailer, which you can check out below, definitely looks impressive, which led most to believe that it was a cinematic pre-rendered teaser trailer rather than an actual gameplay trailer. On the other hand, a small caption at the end of the trailer, "captured on PS5", was quite a hint.

After a short debate, Rockstar took to Twitter, saying that the new trailer was captured entirely in-game, and comprised of both gameplay and cutscenes from the actual game.

Rockstar has previously announced that Grand Theft Auto VI will be delayed to May 26th, 2026, and will not be coming in Fall this year, as announced earlier.

The new trailer, as well as new screenshots and details from the game, certainly look impressive.
