Rockstar Games has declared that the launch of *GTA 6 Trailer 2* marks the biggest video launch of all time, amassing a staggering 475 million views across all platforms within its first 24 hours. This colossal number outshines even the most successful movie trailer launches to date. For context, *Deadpool & Wolverine* garnered 365 million views in its first day, while *The Fantastic Four: First Steps* reached 200 million views. Last year's *Superman* trailer, which became the most-viewed trailer in the history of both DC and Warner Bros., achieved over 250 million views on its launch day. Yet, *GTA 6 Trailer 2* has eclipsed these achievements, setting a new benchmark in the industry.
For comparison, *GTA 6 Trailer 1*—which initially launched exclusively on YouTube—garnered 93 million views on its first day, becoming the platform's biggest non-music video launch ever. As of May 8, *GTA 6 Trailer 2* has already accumulated 85,276,196 views on Rockstar's official YouTube channel, showcasing the immense anticipation surrounding the game.
The impact of *GTA 6 Trailer 2* extends beyond viewership numbers. IGN reported a monumental surge in Spotify streams for The Pointer Sisters' *Hot Together* following its feature in the trailer. In the mere two hours post-premiere, the 1986 track experienced an astonishing 182,000% increase in global Spotify streams. Sulinna Ong, Spotify's Global Head of Editorial, highlighted the deep connection between music and the *Grand Theft Auto* series, noting how fans both new and old are engaging with iconic tracks.
The release of *GTA 6 Trailer 2* comes on the heels of the game's delayed launch, now scheduled for May 26, 2026, following a shift from its original fall 2025 date. This delay has only heightened anticipation, positioning *GTA 6* to potentially become the biggest entertainment launch in history, setting new revenue records across video games and movies.
