The second trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6 has arrived to revolutionize the gaming world! Released on May 6, 2025, this new glimpse of the highly anticipated title from Rockstar Games has caused an unprecedented impact, breaking viewership records and generating a wave of enthusiasm that has put Vice City at the center of all conversations. At GTA6ModsPC.com, we are excited to analyze the scope of this trailer and what it means for our community of modders and GTA 6 fans. Get ready for a journey full of data, excitement, and expectations!
A Launch That Made History: Viewership Records
The second trailer of GTA 6 not only met expectations but exceeded them by far. According to a report by The Hollywood Reporter, in its first 24 hours, the trailer accumulated 475 million views across all platforms, including YouTube, TikTok, and X, becoming the fastest video launch in internet history. This even surpasses the Deadpool and Wolverine trailer, which reached 365 million views in the same period, and the first GTA 6 trailer, which garnered 93 million views on YouTube in its debut in December 2023!
As of today, May 11, 2025, posts on X indicate that the trailer has already surpassed 100 million views just on YouTube, with almost 6 million likes and 470 thousand comments. Additionally, it has surpassed 500 million views across all platforms just a few days after its release, and we estimate that it could be between 510 and 520 million views globally by this point. This massive reach demonstrates that GTA 6 is not just a game, but a cultural phenomenon that is capturing the attention of millions of people around the world.
A Closer Look at Vice City and its Protagonists
The trailer, captured entirely on PlayStation 5 and composed of equal parts gameplay and cinematics (according to an official post by @RockstarGames on X), offers us a more intimate look at the protagonists, Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos, who star in a Bonnie and Clyde-style story. We see Jason, a former soldier with a turbulent past, and Lucia, freshly out of prison, as they face a world full of crime and conspiracies in the fictional state of Leonida.
The trailer also expands the GTA 6 map, showing not only the neon-lit streets of Vice City but also rural areas, swamps inspired by Florida’s Everglades, and forgotten coastal zones with cheap motels and abandoned shopping malls. Places like Kelly County, Catalan Boulevard, and Port VC/Keys promise an open world larger and more diverse than ever, surpassing even the map of Red Dead Redemption 2. Additionally, it includes cultural nods to Florida, with references to “Florida Man,” TikTok-style clips (like twerking on cars and eccentric NPCs), and customizable vehicles with stickers like “Crazy Hippie” and “Vice Vinyl,” hinting at a robust car modification system.
Impacto en la Comunidad y la Industria del Gaming
The impact is not limited to the fans. The gaming industry has also felt the shockwaves. The announcement of the delay of GTA 6 to May 26, 2026 (confirmed by Rockstar on May 2, 2025) caused Take-Two Interactive’s shares, Rockstar’s parent company, to drop by 10%, according to TechStory. However, the release of the trailer has calmed investors and fans, demonstrating that Rockstar is committed to delivering an exceptionally high-quality product. Other developers are also adjusting their release schedules to avoid directly competing with GTA 6, reinforcing its status as the most anticipated entertainment release in history.
What It Means for Modders and GTA6ModsPC
For our modding community, this trailer is a treasure trove of inspiration. Although GTA 6 won’t arrive until May 2026 (and probably on PC in 2027 or 2028, following Rockstar’s release patterns), the trailer gives us hints about what we can expect. Vehicle customization, the expansive open world, and new gameplay mechanics open up endless possibilities for modding. At GTA6ModsPC.com, we are preparing our “Script Session” section so that once the game is released on PC, you can upload and download scripts that transform your experience in Vice City. Do you want to create custom missions, modify NPC AI, or add new vehicles? This will be the place to share your creations!
Additionally, the trailer suggests that Rockstar might continue supporting the modding community, as they have done with GTA 5 after acquiring Cfx.re (creators of FiveM) in 2023. This gives us hope that GTA 6 will have official or community tools (like a new Script Hook V) that facilitate mod creation, ensuring our community thrives.
The Future of GTA 6 and Our Community
The second trailer of GTA 6 has not only broken records but has also reignited the excitement for a game that promises to be the biggest in history. With over 510 million estimated views globally and 100 million on YouTube as of today, May 11, 2025, this trailer has solidified GTA 6 as a cultural phenomenon that transcends gaming. At GTA6ModsPC.com, we are more motivated than ever to build a vibrant community where GTA 6 fans and modders can come together, share ideas, and create unique experiences.
