Rockstar Games has announced that the second trailer for *Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6)*, dubbed GTA 6 Trailer 2, achieved the title of the biggest video launch of all time, amassing a staggering 475 million views across all platforms within its first 24 hours. This monumental achievement surpasses all previous movie trailer launches, including the impressive 365 million views for *Deadpool & Wolverine* and 200 million views for *The Fantastic Four: First Steps*. Even last year's *Superman* trailer, which garnered over 250 million views and set a record for DC and Warner Bros., pales in comparison to the overwhelming success of GTA 6 Trailer 2.

It’s noteworthy that the first trailer for GTA 6, which initially launched exclusively on YouTube, racked up 93 million views on its debut day, becoming the platform's biggest non-music video launch ever. As of this article's publication on May 8, GTA 6 Trailer 2 has already garnered 85,276,196 views on Rockstar's official YouTube channel alone.

Following the release of GTA 6 Trailer 2, there has been a significant cultural impact, as evidenced by the surge in Spotify streams for The Pointer Sisters’ 1986 hit, *Hot Together*. The track saw an astonishing 182,000% increase in global streams within just two hours of the trailer's premiere. Sulinna Ong, Spotify’s Global Head of Editorial, remarked, "Grand Theft Auto cuts through popular culture like almost nothing else. 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 highly publicized delay from fall 2025 to May 26, 2026. Given the immense interest and viewership of its trailers, GTA 6 is poised to be the biggest entertainment launch ever, expected to break revenue records not only for video games but also for movies.
