Grand Theft Auto VI continues to dominate headlines as Rockstar Games confirms that the second trailer for the highly anticipated title has shattered viewership records with over 475 million views across platforms. Released just days after the official release date announcement, this marks the biggest video launch of all time, according to Rockstar’s statement to The Hollywood Reporter.
The latest trailer delivers significantly more depth than the first, which primarily introduced the game’s open-world environment. This time, fans get a closer look at the storyline, core characters, and gameplay dynamics. Key characters such as Jason Duval, Lucia Caminos, Cal Hampton, and Brian Header are introduced, giving insight into the narrative arc of GTA 6.
The trailer blends cinematic cutscenes and gameplay, highlighting seamless transitions that showcase Rockstar’s technical prowess. In addition, the visual fidelity has taken a noticeable leap forward—crisper textures, vibrant lighting, and realistic environments stand out throughout the footage.
What makes this trailer even more impressive is that all visuals were captured on a standard PlayStation 5, not enhanced hardware like the PS5 Pro or Xbox Series X. This reinforces Rockstar’s commitment to optimizing the experience across base-level consoles while maintaining visual excellence.
