Rockstar has boldly claimed that the GTA 6 Trailer 2 is the biggest video launch of all time, boasting an impressive 475 million views across all platforms on its first day. This monumental figure eclipses other major movie trailer launches, such as Deadpool & Wolverine's 365 million views and The Fantastic Four: First Steps' 200 million views within their first 24 hours. Even last year's Superman trailer, which garnered over 250 million views and set a record as the most-viewed trailer for both DC and Warner Bros., pales in comparison to the sheer dominance of GTA 6 Trailer 2.

It's important to highlight that GTA 6 Trailer 1, which initially achieved 93 million views on its first day, was released exclusively on YouTube and became the platform's biggest non-music video launch ever. As of the publication of this article on May 8, GTA 6 Trailer 2 has already accumulated 85,276,196 views on Rockstar's official YouTube channel.

The impact of GTA 6 Trailer 2 extends beyond viewership numbers. IGN has reported a staggering 182,000% increase in Spotify streams for The Pointer Sisters’ "Hot Together" within just two hours of the trailer's premiere, underscoring the trailer's cultural influence. 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.”

Following a high-profile delay from fall 2025 to May 26, 2026, GTA 6 Trailer 2 was released, amplifying anticipation for what is expected to be the biggest entertainment launch of all time, potentially setting unprecedented revenue records not only for video games but across all forms of entertainment.
