Rockstar Games has announced that the second trailer for *Grand Theft Auto 6* (GTA 6 Trailer 2) has set a new record as the biggest video launch of all time. According to a statement made to The Hollywood Reporter, the trailer amassed an astonishing 475 million views across all platforms within its first 24 hours. This number surpasses the viewership of other major movie trailer launches, including *Deadpool & Wolverine* which garnered 365 million views, *The Fantastic Four: First Steps* with 200 million views, and last year's *Superman* trailer, which achieved over 250 million views and was previously the most-viewed trailer in DC and Warner Bros. history. GTA 6 Trailer 2 has eclipsed all these milestones, solidifying its status as a cultural phenomenon.
It's worth recalling that the first trailer for GTA 6 (Trailer 1) had already made waves by securing 93 million views on its debut day, exclusively on YouTube, and became the platform's biggest non-music video launch. As of the publication of this article on May 8, GTA 6 Trailer 2 has accumulated 85,276,196 views on Rockstar's official YouTube channel alone.
The impact of GTA 6 Trailer 2 extends beyond viewership numbers. IGN reported a significant spike in Spotify streams for The Pointer Sisters' song *Hot Together*, featured in the trailer. The track experienced a phenomenal 182,000% increase in global streams within just two hours of the trailer's release. Sulinna Ong, Spotify's Global Head of Editorial, highlighted the synergy between music and the *Grand Theft Auto* series, stating, “Music has been synonymous with the series since the very beginning, so it’s great to see fans both new and established connecting with an iconic track in this way.”
The release of GTA 6 Trailer 2 comes after the game's anticipated launch was postponed from fall 2025 to May 26, 2026. With such a high level of interest and engagement, GTA 6 is poised to be not just the biggest entertainment launch in video gaming history, but across all forms of entertainment, potentially setting new revenue benchmarks.
