Rockstar Games surprised everyone by dropping the second GTA 6 trailer earlier this month, and the numbers are staggering. In less than 30 days, the trailer has already racked up 113 million views on YouTube. To put that in perspective, GTA 5‘s trailer—released over a decade ago—has 122 million lifetime views. At this rate, GTA 6‘s trailer will smash that record before the game even launches.
Why Fans Can’t Stop Watching
The trailer gave us our best look yet at Grand Theft Auto 6‘s two main characters, Jason and Lucia, as well as the sun-drenched streets of Vice City and the wilds of Leonida. Rockstar also released over 70 new screenshots, giving fans plenty to analyze while they wait for the game’s May 2026 release.
The hype isn’t just about the visuals—it’s about what this trailer means. Every frame is packed with details hinting at the game’s story, gameplay mechanics, and the return of classic GTA satire. Fans have been dissecting everything from car models to background radio chatter, trying to piece together what Rockstar has in store.
What This Says About the Hype for GTA 6
The record-breaking view count proves that Grand Theft Auto 6 isn’t just another big game—it’s a cultural event. Even with just two trailers, it’s already one of the most-watched game reveals in history. Some fans on Reddit think the numbers should be even higher, joking that “these are rookie numbers” compared to what Grand Theft Auto 6 deserves.
