Title: Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer Smashes YouTube View Record Within 22 Hours
The highly-anticipated trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) has taken the gaming world by storm, amassing a staggering 85 million views in just 22 hours. The record-breaking feat surpasses the previous milestone held by popular YouTube personality MrBeast for most views in 24 hours.
Although the record does not include music videos, the unprecedented excitement surrounding GTA 6 suggests that it could potentially outshine even the most viewed YouTube videos within a 24-hour period. At present, BTS’s music video for their hit track “Butter” holds the record with an impressive 108 million views.
For more than a decade, devoted fans have eagerly awaited the arrival of GTA 6, as its predecessor, Grand Theft Auto V, was released in September 2013. Grand Theft Auto V currently retains the title of the second-highest-selling video game of all time and holds the Guinness World Record for the “highest revenue generated by an entertainment product in 24 hours,” raking in a staggering $815.7 million on its release day.
Prior to its scheduled release on Tuesday, the GTA 6 trailer fell victim to an unexpected leak on Twitter. Rockstar Games, the developer, swiftly responded by releasing the trailer as planned while simultaneously taking down the leaked version.
To the surprise of many, the leaked tweet from Rockstar Games gained substantial attention, receiving 1.1 million likes and an astonishing 82 million views. Clearly, fans were not deterred by the early unveiling and eagerly revamped their excitement for the official release.
The previous record for most YouTube views in 24 hours belonged to MrBeast’s video, which garnered 59.4 million views within a day. MrBeast, who is renowned for his philanthropic stunts and highly popular videos, including his amusing recreation of Netflix’s hit show “Squid Game,” now graciously relinquishes the title to GTA 6.
As GTA 6 continues to captivate the gaming community, it seems its reign may extend further. Set to hit the market in 2025, if the highly-anticipated game manages to surpass BTS’s YouTube view record, fans can expect further updates on its undeniably groundbreaking impact.
