Rockstar Games’ highly anticipated release, Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6), made an explosive entrance into the gaming world with its official trailer, shattering numerous records within just 36 hours of its launch.

Surpassing all expectations, the GTA 6 trailer amassed an astonishing 100 million views in its initial 36 hours, dwarfing the lifetime views of its predecessor, GTA 5, which accrued 101 million views over 12 years. This meteoric rise in viewership solidified GTA 6 as the fastest-growing and most-watched video game trailer in recent history.

What’s more remarkable is that the GTA 6 trailer even outstripped non-gaming content, surpassing Mr. Beast’s highly popular video in views within the same time frame, showcasing the immense hype and anticipation surrounding the title.

The monumental success of GTA 5, with over 190 million sales, placed it among the highest-selling video games in history. GTA 6's trailer reception indicates a staggering potential to surpass its predecessor, setting unprecedented sales records upon its release.

Industry experts predict that GTA 6, with its sprawling open-world action and crime-based gameplay, could very well eclipse GTA 5’s monumental achievements. With the gaming landscape evolving, the anticipation and fervor surrounding GTA 6’s release date continue to escalate, paving the way for what could be an unparalleled success in gaming history.
