On December 5, 2023, Rockstar Games left its mark on the video game industry and, more broadly, pop culture by releasing the first trailer for GTA 6, its highly anticipated next game. More than ten years after the release of the last GTA, Grand Theft Auto V, in September 2013, Rockstar Games gave us a first glimpse of its next hit.
In less than 24 hours, the video managed to shatter three world records by accumulating more than 92 million views, despite a leak of the video in the middle of the night. A little over a year later, while we're still waiting for the second trailer, the first video continues to break the bank by exceeding 250 million views and accumulating more than a million comments.
GTA 6: the most anticipated game in history
The GTA craze is not about to stop. While GTA V, the latest installment, has become the most profitable cultural entertainment product in history, having generated no less than 10 billion dollars in profits since its release in 2013, its successor already seems to make history and start from the same foundations.
The first trailer for GTA 6 already holds three world records as the most viewed video game video on YouTube in 24 hours (with 90,421,491 total views), the most liked video game trailer in 24 hours on YouTube with 8.9 million likes. But also, the most viewed non-music video on YouTube in 24 hours.
More than a year and a half later, the numbers continue to explode. It's now 250 million views, more than a million comments and no less than 12 million likes. Completely crazy numbers that testify to the crazy anticipation surrounding the title.
Unfortunately, since the publication of this video on December 5, 2023, Rockstar Games has not communicated officially around his game. No images or videos have been shared, and fans are desperately waiting for a second trailer. For the moment, GTA6 is still expected for fall 2025, without further details.
