May 8, 2025·5 repliesCase in point: Rockstar released the second trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI on Tuesday, and the company tells The Hollywood Reporter that it has received over 475 million views across platforms.
For comparison, the first trailer for the game, which was released all the way back in 2023, saw a relatively modest 93 million views in the same window (that trailer was a YouTube exclusive). The company claims that the trailer release is the biggest video launch of all time. In the film space, the Deadpool & Wolverine trailer debuted to 365 million views in its first 24 hours, while The Fantastic Four: First Steps debuted to more than 200 million.
And that demand extends to the soundtrack. The trailer’s featured song was “Hot Together” by The Pointer Sisters (written by Sharon Robinson), and Spotify says that streams of the song soared by 182,000% since its release (no, that isn’t a typo). GTA games feature music heavily via the in-game radio stations, on missions and in cut scenes.
“Grand Theft Auto cuts through popular culture like almost nothing else,” Sulinna Ong, Spotify’s global head of editorial, said in a statement. “Music has been synonymous with the series since the very beginning, so it’s great to see fans both new and established connecting with an iconic track in this way.”

this game bout to be such a huge pop cultural moment
May 8, 2025·4 repliesWe’re literally seeing pop culture and media history get written in real time.
Nothing else has ever been like this. In terms of cost to make and revenue it’ll bring in, in terms of attention & zeitgeist command it’ll have. This is like human history tier stuff when it comes to product/media

It's probably going to be so huge that the world is changing after it's officially out and I'm being serious
The music in this game will be significant classics once it's out

ive had my 165hz monitor for only a few months now and 30fps is unfathomable to me. 100fps feels stuttery to me now
