Rockstar Declares GTA 6 Trailer 2 as Biggest Video Launch Ever

Rockstar Games has announced 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 monumental achievement surpasses all previous movie trailer launches, including the impressive 365 million views for Deadpool & Wolverine and 200 million for The Fantastic Four: First Steps. Even last year's Superman trailer, which garnered over 250 million views and set a record for DC and Warner Bros., pales in comparison to the overwhelming success of GTA 6 Trailer 2.

It's interesting to note that the first trailer for GTA 6 achieved 93 million views on its debut day, exclusively on YouTube, making it 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 reached 85,276,196 views on Rockstar's official YouTube channel alone.

IGN has reported on the significant impact of GTA 6 Trailer 2 on music, with The Pointer Sisters’ Hot Together experiencing a monumental 182,000% increase in Spotify streams within just two hours of the trailer's premiere. Spotify’s Global Head of Editorial, Sulinna Ong, highlighted the deep connection between music and the Grand Theft Auto series, noting how fans are engaging with iconic tracks in new ways.

The release of GTA 6 Trailer 2 follows the game's delay from fall 2025 to May 26, 2026. With such high anticipation, GTA 6 is poised to become the biggest entertainment launch ever, potentially setting new revenue records across both video games and movies.
