GTA 6 Trailer Analysis: Gameplay vs. Cutscenes – What’s Real?
The first GTA 6 trailer has been released, and the analysis is still ongoing! One of the biggest questions players have is: how much of the trailer footage is actual gameplay, and how much is cutscenes? A new Reddit post is exploring this very question, offering some interesting theories.
Analyzing GTA 6 Trailer Scenes for Gameplay vs. Cutscenes
A Reddit user meticulously analyzed the GTA 6 trailer scene by scene, attempting to determine which moments are gameplay and which are cutscenes. The user emphasizes that these are just estimations and encourages other viewers to share their opinions in the comments. Certain scenes, due to cinematic camera angles, are suspected to be cutscenes. Others feature elements resembling classic GTA gameplay.

The post highlights the scene where Lucía exits prison and walks along the roadside as potentially a cutscene. In contrast, sequences like the nightclub scene or the police chase are more likely to be player-controlled gameplay moments. Environmental details, camera shake, and character animations are considered key indicators in making this distinction.
Commenters are divided. Some believe Rockstar presented scenes entirely rendered with the in-game engine. Others suggest the visuals are largely “in-engine cinematics,” cinematic scenes rendered using the game engine. This debate shapes expectations for the final game’s visual quality.
Rockstar has stated that the trailer features a 50/50 split between gameplay and cutscenes. However, the community remains determined to analyze the footage to understand the game’s technical capabilities. As the release of GTA 6 approaches, official gameplay footage is anticipated. Until then, these detailed analyses of the trailer will continue to fuel player excitement and speculation.
