GTA 6 Fascinating Trailer 2 Smashes New Records

Ever since the second trailer for GTA 6 dropped, there has been hype all over the internet. Although we have to wait over a year for the actual release, gamers are talking about everything from the graphics to new features they want. Now, the trailer has apparently broken video launch records.

GTA 6 Trailer is “the Biggest Video Launch of All Time”

According to IGN, Rockstar told Empire Magazine that the second Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer is “the biggest video launch of all time.” It apparently “hit 475 million views across all platforms on its first day.” IGN went on to state that the GTA 6 trailer beat popular movie trailer launches like Deadpool and Wolverine , and The Fantastic Four: First Steps. At the time of writing this article, the second Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer has 94,737,191 views on YouTube, so it doesn’t look like the views will be slowing down anytime soon.

The Hype for Grand Theft Auto 6

Grand Theft Auto 5 was first released in 2013, over a decade ago, meaning that the sixth chapter has had plenty of time to generate hype from fans. The second trailer has only fueled the excitement. Fans are searching for easter eggs in the trailer and screenshots and speculating if details from the trailer hint at new gameplay features. Even though the game’s release was pushed back to May 26, 2026, that hasn’t slowed down the hype one bit.

Will GTA 6 Live Up to the Hype?

However, some fans have noted that the trailer largely shows off cutscenes and displays very little of the actual gameplay. While the Grand Theft Auto series is known for its storytelling and writing, it is also known for large open worlds where gamers can do whatever they want. After the rich world and packed gameplay offered in Grand Theft Auto 5, fans are wondering how GTA 6‘s gameplay will measure up.

Conclusion

Regardless of any speculation, right now Rockstar can bask in the knowledge that it has fans excited for Grand Theft Auto 6, and the excitement will undoubtedly continue for the next year. Of course, while the fans are salivating at the trailer, they can also wonder if the release will be pushed back again.
