"GTA 6 Trailer 2: Rockstar Declares Biggest Video Launch Ever"

Rockstar Games has announced that the launch of *Grand Theft Auto 6* (GTA 6) Trailer 2 is the biggest video launch of all time, with a staggering 475 million views across all platforms within its first 24 hours. This surpasses even the most notable movie trailer launches, including *Deadpool & Wolverine* which garnered 365 million views, and *The Fantastic Four: First Steps* with 200 million views in the same timeframe. Last year’s *Superman* trailer, which was previously the most-viewed in DC and Warner Bros. history, achieved over 250 million views, but it pales in comparison to the monumental success of GTA 6 Trailer 2.

It's worth noting that the first trailer for GTA 6 also set records, amassing 93 million views on its debut day on YouTube alone, becoming the largest non-music video launch on the platform. As of the publication of this article on May 8, GTA 6 Trailer 2 has already garnered 85,276,196 views on Rockstar's official YouTube channel.

Following the release of GTA 6 Trailer 2, IGN reported a remarkable surge in Spotify streams for The Pointer Sisters’ track *Hot Together*, which was featured in the trailer. The song experienced a 182,000% increase in global streams within just two hours of the trailer's premiere.

“Grand Theft Auto cuts through popular culture like almost nothing else,” stated Spotify’s Global Head of Editorial, Sulinna Ong. “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.”

The release of GTA 6 Trailer 2 came after the game's highly publicized delay from fall 2025 to May 26, 2026. With such immense interest and anticipation, GTA 6 is poised to become the biggest entertainment launch ever, setting new benchmarks for revenue not only in the video game industry but also across the entertainment sector.
