In a staggering display of anticipation, the second trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA VI) has shattered expectations, amassing over 10 million views on YouTube within just two hours of its release earlier today. The explosive debut underscores the monumental hype surrounding Rockstar Games’ latest open-world epic, set to launch on May 26, 2026, for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.

The 90-second trailer, offering a deeper glimpse into the sun-soaked, crime-ridden state of Leonida and its dual protagonists, Lucia and Jason, builds on the record-breaking success of the first trailer, which garnered 250 million views since its December 2023 premiere.
