GTA 6 Trailer Hits 475 Million Views, Fans Await May 2026 Launch

Rockstar Games’ second trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6 has drawn more than 475 million views across online platforms, YouTube accounting for nearly 105 million of those plays since its May 6 debut.

The follow-up preview ranks at No. 32 on YouTube’s trending list and arrives 17 months after the franchise’s first official GTA 6 teaser, which premiered in December 2023 and has since surpassed 258 million views on the same channel.

Players are dissecting every frame as they await the game’s May 26, 2026, launch. While the initial teaser delivered a glimpse of the new leads, the latest trailer explores the complex bond between Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos as they navigate a underworld built into the fictional state of Leonida, a stand-in for modern Florida.

In voice-over narration, the clip explains that a heist gone awry forces the pair to rely on each other to survive a sprawling criminal network that reaches from city streets to sun-soaked beaches. Close-up shots reveal key moments: high-speed chases, tense standoffs inside Leonida’s iron-barred jails, and clandestine exchanges in neon-lit alleys.

Rockstar’s official blog post expands on the core cast:

* Jason Duval, who enlisted in the Army to escape a family steeped in crime, now runs jobs for regional drug cartels.

* Lucia Caminos, a childhood fighter whose prison stint tested her resolve, seizes a second chance after an unexpected release.

* Cal Hampton, Jason’s longtime accomplice, and Boobie Ike, a local legend, join the duo on high-stakes operations.

* Dre’Quan Priest hustles the streets by day and chases his musical ambitions by night.

* Real Dimez parlayed a high-school hustle into an online rap phenomenon.

* Raul Bautista, a veteran bank robber, and Brian Heder, a classic drug runner, round out the roster of allies and rivals.

GTA 6 represents Rockstar’s first mainline release since 2013’s GTA 5. Social channels report fan reactions framing the upcoming title as more than a game but an immersive narrative experience. One YouTube viewer commented, “This isn’t just gameplay—this is a journey.”
