Take-Two says, “Sorry for the ‘GTA’ delay — here’s a trailer”

Just four days after Take-Two broke the news that it would bump the release date of “Grand Theft Auto VI” from fall 2025 to May 26, 2026, the publisher dropped its second trailer for the game.

The apparent mea culpa sent Take-Two shares climbing, nearly erasing its losses from Friday’s delay announcement.

The impressive-looking trailer also has the potential to be big for YouTube: the first trailer (which dropped all the way back in December 2023) broke the site’s non-music-video 24-hour view record, notching more than 93 million views in a day. It’s got over 252 million now.

The industry has high expectations for the game, which is expected to boost overall console sales and break $1 billion in preorders alone.

Singer d4vd has been named the top trending person on Google in 2025

If you were asked to name the person who saw the biggest spike in Google searches across 2025, you might plump for a pope, perhaps, or a major political figure. Unless you were one particular Polymarket user, you maybe wouldn’t have put too much money on d4vd, a popular 20-year-old singer who reportedly remains an active suspect in the death of a teen girl.

However, when Google revealed its Year in Search 2025 today — a feature that, importantly, seems to reflect the figures and topics that have seen searches spike from last year, rather than overall search volume — d4vd, whose hits like “Romantic Homicide” and “Here With Me” have racked up billions of Spotify streams, sat atop the “People” section, beating Kendrick Lamar for the top spot.

Google’s Year in Search 2025

As people in the business of making charts all day, you could say that we’re pretty au fait with Google Trends data. Even so, we can admit that Polymarket user 0xafEe appears to be a true savant when it comes to understanding what people are using the search engine for.

Thanks to a series of what are now proving to be very prescient positions on Polymarket’s “#1 Searched Person on Google This Year” market, 0xafEe has made a medium fortune in the last 24 hours. There was a ~$10,600 “yes” position on d4vd himself — now worth more than $200,000 — as well as “no” positions across other candidates for the title, such as Donald Trump, Pope Leo, and Bianca Censori, all of which have profited substantially. All told, 0xafEe made just shy of $1.2 million on the market.
