Can a game look this good on a Playstation 5? The second trailer for "GTA 6" reveals a graphic splendor that we have not yet seen on the current console generation. Among other things, it shows clear evidence of advanced ray tracing for reflections and shadows. So it's no wonder that many are skeptical and suspect pre-rendered scenes. But in an X-Post, Rockstar now confirms: it's all real. The video consists of equal parts cutscenes and gameplay and was recorded on a PS5.
In Rockstar games such as "Red Dead Redemption 2" and "GTA 5", cutscenes are usually rendered in real time. This has the advantage that the current appearance of the characters involved can be transferred to the cutscene – This would not be possible with pre-rendered sections. This means that Rockstar's cutscenes generally reproduce the actual game graphics fairly accurately. This is also important because cutscenes often merge seamlessly into gameplay sections.
In addition, Rockstar's games usually consist of dozens or even hundreds of cutscenes. In pre-rendered form, they would take up hundreds of GBytes of memory –, which is all the more reason to render the cutscenes in real time.

Although they are rendered in real time like the actual gameplay, Rockstar can increase the graphics a little for its cutscenes, for example by activating a few additional effects or at least increasing the resolution. The studio has the advantage during the cutscenes that it can control exactly what the camera shows and what it doesn't show. Everything that cannot be seen therefore does not have to be rendered. This saves resources.
Really on the "PS5"?
It's obvious that cutscenes can be seen in the second trailer. However, Rockstar's claim that half of the video also consists of gameplay scenes is somewhat surprising. One thing is certain: there are no "real" gameplay sections from a shoulder perspective or even with an interface. Instead, Rockstar has apparently made gameplay sections look like cutscenes with camera gimmicks implemented especially for the trailer.

The graphics are all the more impressive when you consider that they are displayed on a console – and not on a much more powerful PC. However, Rockstar is leaving a small loophole open here: The studio repeatedly talks about the game being played on a PS5 for the trailer. However, Rockstar does not explicitly confirm whether it is the basic model or the more powerful Playstation 5 Pro. From a marketing perspective, there is hardly any reason not to show a game on the platform that can deliver the best graphics performance. In the case of "GTA 6", which has still not been announced for the PC, this would currently be the PS5 Pro.
