The gaming world is buzzing with excitement as the second trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6 achieves a remarkable milestone, surpassing the view count of the first Grand Theft Auto 5 trailer on YouTube. This achievement solidifies its position as Rockstar Games' second most-watched video on their official channel.

Released unexpectedly on May 6, the Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer has amassed over 123.2 million views. This impressive figure has now eclipsed the 123.04 million views accumulated by Grand Theft Auto 5's debut trailer over its 13-year lifespan.

Following massive leaks in 2022, Rockstar Games officially unveiled the first GTA 6 trailer in December 2023. The anticipation reached new heights earlier this year when the studio dropped a record-shattering second trailer, which garnered an astounding 475 million views across all platforms within just 24 hours. Rockstar confirmed this as the most successful video launch in internet history, demonstrating the incredible demand for the next chapter in this legendary franchise.

With nearly twelve years having passed since Grand Theft Auto 5 first launched on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, fans are clearly eager to move beyond Los Santos and experience what Rockstar has been developing all these years.

The second trailer for GTA 6 continues to gain momentum daily. Just two months after its release, it has already overtaken GTA 5's first trailer in YouTube views. Current statistics show GTA 6's trailer at 123,225,923 views compared to GTA 5's 123,043,360 - a significant accomplishment that highlights the game's unprecedented hype.

However, the second trailer still trails behind GTA 6's first trailer, which currently boasts over 263 million views. To claim the top spot, it needs approximately 140 million more views. With the game's release on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S still nearly a year away, fans will likely continue rewatching the trailer until new footage emerges.

Remarkably, players are still uncovering intricate details in the trailer, such as visible fingerprints on vehicle touchscreens. These discoveries suggest the trailer may continue gaining views as more fans analyze its content leading up to the 2026 release.
