GTA 6 Trailer 2 Smashes Records, Hits Half a Billion Views!

Get ready, gamers! The hype for Grand Theft Auto 6 is officially off the charts. The second trailer for the highly anticipated open-world epic has already racked up a staggering half a billion views across all platforms, according to data released by Rockstar Games. This incredible feat solidifies GTA 6's position as one of the most anticipated games of all time.

The news comes after a lengthy wait for fans, who have been eagerly awaiting more details about the game. The second trailer, released after a year and a half of anticipation, has clearly resonated with the gaming community. The first trailer, released in 2023, garnered a respectable 93 million views on YouTube alone. The second trailer's performance dwarfs that, showcasing the immense excitement surrounding the game.

The Hollywood Reporter reported that the trailer had secured 475 million views at the time of publishing, a number that has since been confirmed to have surpassed half a billion. Rockstar Games, the source of this data, has declared the trailer the single-biggest video launch of all time. The game is slated for release on May 26, 2026.

The first trailer, which is still available on YouTube, has reached 255 million views. The popularity of both trailers is expected to continue for quite some time.

BNN's Perspective: The sheer scale of this viewership is remarkable. While the delay until 2026 is disappointing for fans, the continued excitement and record-breaking performance of the trailer suggest that Rockstar Games is on the right track. The anticipation is palpable, and hopefully, the final product will live up to the hype.
