GTA 6 Trailer 2 Breaks Global Viewership Record

Rockstar Games confirms that GTA 6's second trailer has shattered records as the most-viewed video premiere in history.

The studio revealed to The Hollywood Reporter that Trailer 2 amassed 475 million views across platforms within 24 hours - surpassing all major film trailer debuts, including Deadpool & Wolverine's 365 million and The Fantastic Four: First Steps' 200 million. Last year's Superman trailer previously held Warner Bros' record with 250 million views, making GTA 6's achievement particularly staggering.

While GTA 6's first trailer achieved 93 million YouTube views on day one (setting a platform record for non-music content), the second trailer has already reached 85,276,196 views on Rockstar's official YouTube channel as of May 8.

The trailer's cultural impact extends beyond gaming - The Pointer Sisters' "Hot Together" saw a 182,000% surge in Spotify streams within two hours of appearing in the trailer.

"Grand Theft Auto resonates with pop culture like few franchises can," commented Spotify's Global Head of Editorial Sulinna Ong. "Music has always been integral to the series, and witnessing both new and longtime fans rediscover this iconic track proves that legacy."

This trailer drop follows Rockstar's announcement pushing GTA 6's release from fall 2025 to May 2026, positioning what could become the most lucrative entertainment product across both gaming and film industries.
