GTA VI Second Trailer
Rockstar Games has once again captivated the gaming world with the release of the second official trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI. Within just 24 hours, the trailer amassed nearly 70 million views and 4.7 million likes on YouTube, establishing itself as one of the most successful gaming trailers ever. While it didn’t shatter records like the initial trailer, it still signifies that fan enthusiasm remains remarkably high as the game’s May 2026 release date approaches.
However, when compared to the first trailer, which introduced the character Lucia, the second trailer slightly fell short in raw performance. Trailer 1 broke YouTube records with over 93 million views and 8.9 million likes in just 24 hours, alongside over a million comments reflecting explosive fan engagement. Despite this, Trailer 2 performed better in like-to-dislike ratio, receiving only about 63,000 dislikes compared to the first trailer’s 250,000. This indicates that although the initial hype may have leveled off, the audience reception remains highly positive.
While the first trailer focused on Lucia, the second trailer shifts its spotlight to Jason, the male protagonist of the game. It delves deeper into the Bonnie-and-Clyde-style relationship between the two protagonists and hints at a romance-driven storyline within a revamped and modernized Vice City.
Visually, the trailer showcases the vibrant, chaotic, and sun-soaked streets of Vice City, echoing the nostalgic yet electrifying vibe of classic GTA titles. The inclusion of iconic tracks like “Everybody Have Fun Tonight” adds to the upbeat, adrenaline-fueled tone Rockstar is setting for the game.
Despite not breaking records like its predecessor, Trailer 2’s performance still underscores the massive anticipation surrounding GTA VI. With Rockstar edging closer to its 2026 launch, fans can likely expect more trailers, reveals, and teasers that will continue to fuel the excitement for what is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated gaming releases of the decade.
