GTA 6 Trailer 2 Has an Easy-to-Miss Fake PS5 — and Fans Are Joking Rockstar Has Leaked the PS6

As eagle-eyed fans analyze each frame of the GTA 6 Trailer 2, one moment in particular has raised eyebrows.

In the scene where Lucia arrives home from community service to find Jason snoozing on the sofa, we see various items strewn about the lounge, including what looks like a PlayStation 5 next to the TV and, in the foreground, what looks like a DualSense controller.

These props are close enough to Sony’s console and controller to be a clear reference to PlayStation, but some fans are reading even more into it. The PlayStation reference, plus the trailer notice confirming the footage was entirely captured on PS5, has some wondering whether Sony has signed a co-marketing deal with Rockstar for the promotion of GTA 6.

The GTA series was once inexorably linked to PlayStation, and Rockstar and Sony have done deals like this before. GTA 6, which is expected to be the biggest entertainment launch of all time, would certainly be an aggressive marketing move from Sony, but you can imagine it’s hoping GTA 6 sells the PS5 Pro in huge numbers in time for the May 2026 release date. Assuming we don’t see a PC release at the same time as console, PS5 Pro will be the most powerful platform for what is expected to be the best-selling game of all time.

In the shorter term, fans are having fun with this PlayStation nod in the GTA 6 trailer, with some joking that it’s an early look at the PS6.

"GTA 6 playable within GTA 6 before GTA 6," joked redditor WillyPepper.

Others are wondering if previous GTA games will be playable within GTA 6 in a nod to Rockstar's past, perhaps as one of the many mini-games. "Imagine they just casually put in GTA 4 remaster as a playable mini game," wondered Crazy-Path-7929. "What are the chances we get Vice City emulated in game?" asked PastorPoppyseed.
