GTA 6 Trailer 2 Evidence Register: What the Footage Actually Confirms

Trailer 2 Evidence Register

Verified position: Rockstar published Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer 2 on May 6, 2025. Rockstar’s official description identifies the footage as captured in-game from PlayStation 5 and says the trailer contains gameplay and cutscene material. That establishes the source and production context; it does not turn every visible detail into a final gameplay promise.

This page records what the trailer itself supports, what becomes stronger when paired with Rockstar’s official character and location pages, and which popular conclusions remain inference.
