The new GTA 6 trailer that just arrived contains multiple nods to PlayStation. Not only was the footage captured on PlayStation 5, but the trailer itself features what look like DualSense controllers and a stand-in for a PlayStation console.
In a sequence where Lucia gets home and greets Jason, we see two DualSense-like controllers sitting on a glass table, with what looks like a mock PS5 in the background.
These details, along with the disclaimer that the footage was captured on PS5, is leading some to believe that Sony and Rockstar Games might have some kind of co-marketing deal for GTA 6.
This wouldn’t be totally surprising, of course, as GTA and PlayStation have been linked together for years, going back decades. GTA 3, Vice City, and San Andreas all first launched exclusively on PlayStation consoles because Sony paid Rockstar for that.
While the exclusivity deals ended there–GTA 4 and GTA 5 launched on PlayStation and Xbox at the same time–Sony did continue to work with Rockstar on special deals. For example, GTA 5 was announced for PS4 at Sony’s E3 briefing in 2014.
Following a high-profile delay, GTA 6 is now set for release in May 2026 for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. In the meantime, you can take a look at more than 150 new images from the game in the gallery below.
