This revelation sparked curiosity among fans, many of whom struggled to distinguish between gameplay and cutscenes due to the trailer's high production value. A fan noted that all cutscenes in Rockstar Games are run in-game, yet some remain skeptical, questioning whether what they saw was truly in-game footage or meticulously crafted cutscenes.

Additionally, fans are curious about the specific PlayStation 5 model used—whether it was the standard PS5 or the more powerful PS5 Pro.
