It seems like whatever Rockstar Games touches turns into gold. Even when the studio announced the unfortunate delay of Grand Theft Auto 6, it managed to bring back the hype a few days later with the release of Trailer No. 2.
That trailer quickly became the "biggest video launch of all-time," after it amassed over half a billion views in one day, sending fans into a frenzy ripe with theories and speculation.

But there are things video games still can’t do.
Roughly one day ago, Rockstar made a TikTok account, then uploaded the GTA 6 Trailer No. 2 in full to the platform. In the time since then, the trailer has amassed 2,000,000 views and counting, plus an additional 380,000-plus likes and over 42,000 comments.
