Origin. Rockstar posted the trailer on YouTube on 6 May 2025. Its "475 million views in 24 hours" figure, shared with The Hollywood Reporter, left the first trailer far behind.
How people use it. Three meme lines appeared within a day: thirst posts and gym jokes about Jason fixing a roof without a shirt, a fresh round of the "Jason is an undercover cop" theory, and the music. Streams of the Pointer Sisters' "Hot Together" rose 182,000% on Spotify, Insider Gaming reported.
Example. A mirror selfie at the gym next to a description of the roof scene, captioned "week 1 of trying to get as fit as Jason".
