The gaming community is buzzing as excitement builds for the second official trailer of GTA 6.
While we wait, fans are revisiting the groundbreaking first trailer, marveling at its jaw-dropping visuals and incredible detail.
Released on December 4 last year, the first trailer made waves online, racking up an astonishing 93 million views within 24 hours. It didn’t just capture attention—it practically broke the internet.
Since then, Rockstar Games has kept things under wraps about what many consider its most highly anticipated game ever.
With little official news, fans have been analyzing every detail of the initial footage, comparing its next-gen visuals to other popular games.
One notable comparison surfaced on the GTA 6 Countdown Twitter account, where fans matched scenes from the GTA 6 trailer with visuals from Far Cry 5, a game released in 2018.
In one side-by-side image, GTA 6 shows Lucia, one of the new protagonists, dressed in prison clothes with sunlight highlighting her face.
The shot is impressive—especially since it’s from in-game footage. Meanwhile, the Far Cry 5 image is from a CGI cutscene, which, while equally striking, benefits from the polish typically reserved for pre-rendered scenes.
This comparison has fans asking the big question: will GTA 6 maintain this level of visual quality when it launches in fall 2025?
Judging by the comments, players are optimistic.
“Only Rockstar can make in-game footage that looks better than actual CGI,” one fan noted.
Another added, “Ladies and gentlemen, we’ve finally reached the point in gaming where in-engine cutscenes look as good as pre-rendered ones.”
As we wait for the next trailer, it’s clear fans are eager to dive into more comparisons and discussions.
For now, patience is key, but with Rockstar’s track record, the wait will likely be worth it.
