Grand Theft Auto 6 Shatters YouTube Records with Official Reveal
In an unprecedented display of anticipation and enthusiasm, Grand Theft Auto 6, the highly-anticipated sequel in the iconic gaming franchise, has officially made history. According to Guinness World Records, the game’s official reveal became the most-viewed non-music video on YouTube within the first 24 hours after its release.
With astonishing speed, the 90-second long debut of Grand Theft Auto 6 garnered over 90 million views in just one day. The video’s popularity did not stop there, as it also claimed the title for the most-liked video game trailer on YouTube, accumulating a whopping 8.9 million likes in its first 24 hours. Currently, the video has amassed a staggering 121 million views, solidifying its place as a viral sensation.
Surpassing the previous record holder for the most non-music video views in 24 hours, Mr. Beast’s “Every Country On Earth Fights For $250,000,” Grand Theft Auto 6 accomplished this feat in just 13 hours. Only two music videos, courtesy of K-pop sensation BTS, managed to accumulate more views than the Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer within the first day. This extraordinary achievement demonstrates the massive impact that the game’s announcement has had on the gaming community and beyond.
To put the scale of Grand Theft Auto 6’s success into perspective, a comparison with other game trailers is necessary. The trailer’s views have already far surpassed those of similarly highly-anticipated releases when considering lifetime views. Even the first trailer for Grand Theft Auto 5, a previous installment in the series that garnered immense hype, has only reached 103 million views after more than a decade. This discrepancy highlights the unparalleled excitement and anticipation surrounding the upcoming release of Grand Theft Auto 6.
What makes this achievement even more remarkable is the fact that the game is still over a year away from its launch. The sheer level of anticipation and enthusiasm generated by the announcement is a testament to the enduring popularity and cultural impact of the Grand Theft Auto franchise. Fans and gamers alike are eagerly awaiting any news and updates related to the game, with each new tidbit sending shockwaves throughout the gaming industry.
As Grand Theft Auto 6 continues to break records and captivate audiences worldwide, it has solidified its place as one of the most highly-anticipated games of all time. The excitement surrounding its release is unparalleled, and gamers everywhere eagerly await the chance to explore the sprawling virtual world that Rockstar Games has crafted.
