In simply 22 hours, the primary trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI has racked up 85 million views, breaking a MrBeast video’s document for many YouTube views in 24 hours. That rating excludes music movies, however the hype round this long-awaited recreation might smash previous these data too — proper now, probably the most considered YouTube video in 24 hours is the music video for Ok-Pop sensation BTS’ tune “Butter,” which was considered 108 million instances in that timespan.
The thrill for Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) is a decade within the making. The final recreation within the franchise, Grand Theft Auto V, was launched greater than 10 years in the past, in September 2013. In keeping with Guinness World Information, it broke the document for “highest income generated by an leisure product in 24 hours,” incomes $815.7 million on launch day from the sale of 11.21 million copies. It stays the second-best-selling online game of all time, falling quick solely of Minecraft.
Rockstar Video games, the writer of the Grand Theft Auto franchise, deliberate to launch the trailer on Tuesday morning. However the trailer was leaked on X (Twitter) a day early, so Rockstar simply posted the trailer anyway and bought the leaked model taken down.
“Our trailer has leaked so please watch the true factor on YouTube,” Rockstar wrote on X; that X put up itself has 1.1 million likes and 82 million views.
Excluding music movies, MrBeast beforehand held the document for many YouTube views in 24 hours. The stunt philanthropist’s August video, during which he had contestants from “each nation” on the earth face off in a sequence of contests, bought 59.4 million views in its first day. In one other one of many twenty-five-year-old YouTuber’s hottest movies, he recreated the Netflix hit “Squid Recreation” (no, nobody was harmed in filming). Given the character of Grand Theft Auto, we will solely hope that MrBeast doesn’t try and recreate a financial institution theft or a jail break.
We’ll replace this put up if Grand Theft Auto manages to dethrone the BTS boys from their butter-sculpted throne — in the meanwhile, right here’s the trailer for GTA 6, which can be launched in 2025.
