Just how big—scratch that, MASSIVE—is the buzz around Grand Theft Auto VI, which we now have to wait a whole extra year for after that recent delay announcement? Fresh stats on the second trailer for Rockstar’s juggernaut paint a crystal-clear picture of the insane demand for this franchise nearly three decades into its record-smashing run.
The Hollywood Reporter says the new trailer, which dropped Tuesday right after Rockstar broke the delay news, racked up over 475 million views across platforms by Wednesday. For perspective, the report stacks it against major movie trailers like Deadpool & Wolverine and The Fantastic Four: First Steps, with GTA VI absolutely crushing both when comparing first-day viewership.
Meanwhile, The Pointer Sisters’ track “Hot Together” reportedly enjoyed a mind-blowing streaming explosion (we’re talking 182,000 percent increase) after being featured in the new trailer.
