The facts
| Fact | Detail |
|---|---|
| Premiere | May 6, 2025 — a surprise drop with no countdown, days after the delay to May 2026 was announced |
| Runtime | 2 min 47 sec |
| 24-hour views | ~475 million across platforms — Rockstar told The Hollywood Reporter it was the biggest debut for any trailer ever, beating Deadpool & Wolverine's 365M. YouTube alone: ~86M within two days |
| Music | Pointer Sisters — "Hot Together" |
| Platform | Released simultaneously on YouTube and social platforms — which is why its record is cross-platform, unlike Trailer 1's YouTube-only 93M |
