The hype is real! Rockstar Games' second trailer for **Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6)** has absolutely exploded, racking up a staggering **475 million views** across all platforms in its first 24 hours. This incredible feat dwarfs the initial trailer's 93 million views in its first day, showcasing the immense anticipation surrounding the upcoming game.

Spotify has reported a mind-blowing **182,000% increase** in streams for the song since the trailer's release. This highlights the powerful connection between the GTA franchise and popular culture, as noted by Spotify's global head of editorial, Sulinna Ong.
