The new trailer revealed some more details about the dual protagonists Jason and Lucia, the setting of Vice City, the side characters they will interact with, and some action set pieces. It appears fans are diving deep into this short trailer and watching it several times, analyzing it, discussing it, and sharing it everywhere.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Rockstar Games told the media outlet that the GTA 6 Trailer 2 has gotten over 475 million views across all channels. Using worldometer, the estimated population of the US is around 347 million people. Overall, the trailer has over 100 million more views than people who live in the US. The first trailer, which was released back in December 2023, saw around 93 million views in the same timeframe, and it was a YouTube exclusive and not readily available on other video streaming websites, though it was reposted and shared many times afterward.

GTA 6 Trailer 2 Has Been A Success

One Of The Most Viewed Trailers In History

The GTA 6 Trailer 2 has been a massive hit with fans. Reactions poured in within minutes of the trailer's release, with it getting almost universally positive praise for its graphics, music, cinematic scope, and level of detail. On YouTube, the trailer remains the number one trending video, as of this writing. Rockstar also claims the release of Trailer 2 is the largest video launch of all time, beating even the Deadpool & Wolverine trailer, which got around 365 million views in its first day.

There was a lot of discussion regarding how much of this trailer was cutscenes and if there was any gameplay at all. Rockstar confirmed the trailer has "equal parts gameplay and cutscenes" yesterday, which has probably led to even more repeat views from fans analyzing frames to try and uncover which parts were cutscenes and which were gameplay.

GTA 6 Is Poised To Become The Biggest Game Of All Time

And Possibly The Biggest Piece Of Entertainment Ever

The anticipation for GTA 6 is through the roof. Despite the game being delayed until May 2026 last week, the new trailer this week seems to have removed any ill feelings or negativity from fans regarding the delay, simply because of how impressive the trailer is. GTA 5, which has been on the market now since 2013, is the second best-selling game of all time, just behind Minecraft, and has made over $8.5 billion in revenue, making it one of the most successful entertainment products in history.

With Trailer 2 greatly outpacing the first trailer, GTA 6 is set up well to become the largest game launch of all time. While fans wait, they are combing through the new trailer for every detail, even trying to determine who could possibly be Jason's voice actor, since almost none of the voice cast has been confirmed yet. With a little over a year to go until release, the excitement for Grand Theft Auto 6 is already through the roof, and the second trailer may be enough to keep fans satisfied for many more months.
