For years, the first trailer of GTA 5 was an icon on YouTube, a symbol of a new generation in 2011 and one of the most memorable pieces of Rockstar. However, that era has just come to a close: the trailer 2 of GTA 6 has surpassed that of GTA 5 in views.

This milestone not only represents another figure, but a definitive change of cycle. The community has changed, technology has changed, and expectations are now completely centered on Vice City.

The trailer 2 of GTA 6 already exceeds 120 million views

Published in May 2025, the second trailer of GTA 6 has already exceeded 120 million plays on Rockstar’s official channel. With this, it leaves behind the original trailer of GTA 5, which for over a decade remained as one of the most viewed and celebrated of the studio.

The modern setting of Vice City, the protagonists Lucía and Jason, and the spectacular scenes that were shown have captured the attention of a new generation. Rockstar barely needed a minute and a half to reaffirm that GTA 6 aims to be a cultural phenomenon on par with – or superior to – its predecessor.

GTA 5 marked an era with three generations of consoles, an unprecedented longevity, and an online mode that is still active today. But that era is beginning to close, while GTA 6 takes over with force and figures that are already making history even before its release.
