GTA 6 Trailer 2 tech breakdown: incredible realism, impressive RT, astonishing detail


What we learned about GTA 6's graphics and tech from Trailer 2. John, Oliver and Alex from Digital Foundry compare notes.

Despite being less than three minutes long, the trailer is packed with a huge amount of clues to the game's current technical make-up, including its resolution and frame-rate figures, as well as a look at some of the graphical techniques that will define its overall look. The level of temporal stability in the lighting is also impressive, with even high-end Unreal Engine 5 titles on using software Lumen exhibiting visual discontinuities, flicker or crawling artefacts, especially on consoles. With the huge amount of fidelity evident in the new trailer, it's worth revisiting whether or not Grand Theft Auto 6 will be playable in a 60fps mode on console - the source of some debate following the game's initial reveal.
