In simply 22 hours, the primary trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI has racked up 85 million views, breaking a MrBeast video’s file for many YouTube views in 24 hours. That rating excludes music movies, however the hype round this long-awaited sport may smash previous these information too — proper now, probably the most considered YouTube video in 24 hours is the music video for Okay-Pop sensation BTS’ music “Butter,” which was considered 108 million times in that timespan.
The joy for Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) is a decade within the making. The final sport within the franchise, Grand Theft Auto V, was launched greater than 10 years in the past, in September 2013. In response to Guinness World Records, it broke the file for “highest revenue generated by an entertainment 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 real thing on YouTube,” Rockstar wrote on X; that X publish itself has 1.1 million likes and 82 million views.
Excluding music movies, MrBeast beforehand held the file for many YouTube views in 24 hours. The stunt philanthropist’s August video, through which he had contestants from “every country” on the earth face off in a collection 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 Game” (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 publish if Grand Theft Auto manages to dethrone the BTS boys from their butter-sculpted throne — in the intervening time, right here’s the trailer for GTA 6, which will likely be launched in 2025.
