Rockstar Games took the world by storm with the release of a video trailer for the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6). The trailer broke the internet as the YouTube video was bombarded with views and comments from tens of millions of people. A number of new records were broken as well. So let’s have a look.
GTA 6 Trailers Breaks Multiple Records in a Single Day
For those unaware, the trailer for GTA 6 was first released on 5th December 2023. The video exploded on YouTube, raking in over 90 million views in just the first 24 hours. Unfortunately, this trailer didn’t beat the record for the highest number of views in a single day. It is the third fastest most viewed video in 24 hours, falling just behind two records held by BTS songs, which includes ‘Butter’ that received 108 million views in 24 hours. However, there are a bunch of new world records that the game achieved even before its actual release.
As of right now, the trailer sits at an impressive 117 million+ views on YouTube, beating out the 12-year old trailer for its predecessor, GTA V, in just 12 hours. The Guinness Book of World Records stated that the GTA 6 trailer has managed to become the most viewed video game reveal of all time in just 24 hours. That is not all, the video has also achieved the title of the most viewed non-music YouTube video on the first day, beating out the previous record of 59.4 million views that was held by MrBeast.
The GTA 6 trailer also became the most-liked YouTube video in 24 hours, garnering over 8.9 million views. At the moment, this figure now sits at nearly 10 million likes. Keep in mind that this is just the first trailer for the Grand Theft Auto 6, with more to come soon. Furthermore, these records were for YouTube and do not account for the millions of views that were received on other platforms like X (formerly Twitter). Notably, the trailer helped Rockstar Games gain millions of subscribers on YouTube, making them just 90,000 short of the 10 million subscriber milestone.
