The trailer’s success is attributed to the massive anticipation for GTA VI, amplified by Rockstar Games’ strategic marketing and the cultural impact of the franchise. Additionally, the trailer’s featured song, Hot Together by The Pointer Sisters, saw a 182,000% increase in Spotify streams, further highlighting its cultural resonance.
