"GTA 6 Trailer 2 Breaks Records as Biggest Video Launch Ever, Says Rockstar"

Rockstar Games has declared that the launch of GTA 6 Trailer 2 marks the biggest video launch of all time, amassing an astonishing 475 million views across all platforms within its first 24 hours. This figure eclipses the viewership of other major movie trailer launches, including Deadpool & Wolverine, which garnered 365 million views, and The Fantastic Four: First Steps, with 200 million views in their initial days. Even last year's Superman trailer, which set a record for DC and Warner Bros. with over 250 million views, pales in comparison to the monumental success of GTA 6 Trailer 2.

It's interesting to note that while GTA 6 Trailer 1 achieved 93 million views on its debut day, exclusively on YouTube, and became the platform's biggest non-music video launch, Trailer 2 has already garnered 85,276,196 views on Rockstar's official YouTube channel as of this article's publication on May 8.

IGN reported on the significant impact of GTA 6 Trailer 2 on music streaming, with The Pointer Sisters' Hot Together experiencing a 182,000% surge in global Spotify streams just two hours after the trailer's release. Spotify's Global Head of Editorial, Sulinna Ong, emphasized the deep connection between music and the Grand Theft Auto series, celebrating how fans are engaging with this iconic track.

The release of GTA 6 Trailer 2 comes after the game's delay from fall 2025 to May 26, 2026. With such widespread interest and engagement, GTA 6 is poised to be the largest entertainment launch ever, potentially breaking revenue records across both video games and movies.
