GTA 6 Trailer Breaks Records in Days, Nearly Matches GTA 5’s 13-Year View Count

Rockstar Games has done it again!

Earlier this month, the gaming world was left stunned when Rockstar dropped the second official trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI without any prior notice.

Fans had been waiting impatiently since the first GTA 6 trailer premiered in December 2023, and the silence that followed only built up the anticipation. But on May 6, Rockstar finally delivered — and it did not disappoint.

This latest trailer, just under three minutes long, offers a deeper dive into the world of Leonida, introducing us to the main protagonists, Jason and Lucia, alongside a glimpse of several new supporting characters. The setting looks more immersive and detailed than ever.

To top it off, Rockstar also revamped the official GTA 6 website, uploading over 70 high-quality screenshots and video snippets, moving beyond the single teaser image fans had been staring at for months.

But the most impressive part? The trailer’s performance.

In less than a month, the second GTA VI trailer has already racked up an astonishing 113 million views on YouTube — a number that almost matches the 122 million views the original GTA V trailer accumulated over 13 years.

For perspective:

GTA 5 trailer (2011–2024): ~122 million views
GTA 6 second trailer (May 6, 2025–<30 days): 113 million views

This mind-blowing performance confirms that GTA VI is one of the most anticipated video games of all time.

On Reddit’s r/GTA, fans are buzzing:

“GTA 5 had about 90M views before the first GTA 6 trailer. GTA 6 broke 100M faster than anything!” wrote user SilentKiller107.

Still, some fans believe it could go even higher:

“Honestly? I’m shocked it hasn’t hit more already,” another user commented.

While no official date has been announced for the next trailer, it’s clear that Rockstar has set the internet on fire again. With a 2025 release date still in place, excitement is only growing.
