GTA 6 Trailer 2 Sets Record as Largest Video Launch, Rockstar Says

Rockstar declares GTA 6 Trailer 2 the most-viewed video launch ever.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Rockstar revealed that Trailer 2 amassed 475 million views across platforms within its first 24 hours. This surpasses all previous movie trailer debuts, including Deadpool & Wolverine’s 365 million views and The Fantastic Four: First Steps’ 200 million. Last year’s Superman trailer garnered over 250 million views, marking it as DC and Warner Bros.’ most-watched trailer ever, yet GTA 6 Trailer 2 outshines them all.

Notably, GTA 6 Trailer 1, which debuted exclusively on YouTube, achieved 93 million views on its first day, securing the record for the platform’s biggest non-music video launch. As of May 8, Trailer 2 has reached 85,276,196 views on Rockstar’s official YouTube channel.

IGN previously highlighted the massive surge in Spotify streams for The Pointer Sisters’ Hot Together, featured in GTA 6 Trailer 2. The 1986 track saw a staggering 182,000% increase in global streams within two hours of the trailer’s release.

“Grand Theft Auto reshapes pop culture like few other franchises,” said Sulinna Ong, Spotify’s Global Head of Editorial, in a statement. “Music has always been integral to the series, and it’s exciting to see both new and longtime fans embrace this iconic song.”

GTA 6 Trailer 2 arrived after the game’s delay from fall 2025 to May 26, 2026, was announced. It’s poised to become the biggest entertainment launch ever, potentially breaking revenue records across video games and films.
