GTA 6 Trailer Breaks Its Predecessors Record For YouTube Views
Not long after the GTA 6 trailer was released, it became a benchmark for future games. The trailer debuted on December 5 and after many rumors and hints, it is finally out.
Since then, the video has been viewed millions of times on YouTube, even breaking previous records. Well, you could say the magic of the GTA series hasn't faded even after all these years. And with this new video game series, we'll see even more records broken.
To know more about the GTA 6 trailer and track its views, read this article. So let's dig deeper.
After years of announcements, rumors, and hints, the GTA 6 trailer debuted on YouTube on December 5. There is no doubt that the game trailer was being watched and people thought that the trailer would not get many views.
However, the GTA 6 trailer received record reviews that refute this assumption. To date, it has more than 100 million views on YouTube since its release.
This is the highest number of views for a GTA 5 trailer since it was released 12 years ago. Not only that, the number of viewers after the video was released was the highest ever achieved by a video.
Currently, there are only two game advertising videos that have been watched so much in such a short time. This is a video from the famous Korean K-pop band BTS.
We all know the popularity of this Korean K-pop group and its members are famous all over the world. Two of the videos, Dynamite and Butter, have more views than the GTA 6 trailer.
Dynamite is a BTS song released in August 2020 and was watched 101.1 million times in the first 24 hours. Next is the video for the song Butter which was released in May 2021 and received 108 million views in the first 24 hours.
Before the GTA 6 trailer was released, a video by another K-pop group, BLACKPINK, was in third place. It launched in June 2020 and received more than 86 million views in 24 hours.
However, now the third position is occupied by the GTA 6 trailer which received more than 91 million views in 24 hours. So we can see that the popularity of GTA 6 certainly makes it the most anticipated GTA game.
If recent leaks hadn't spoiled the trailer, viewership might have been higher. As a result, the game studio had to release the trailer early in Europe and the Middle East until late at night.
So it's clearly a disservice to the trailer audience or we could have seen many more record-breaking hits. However, the GTA 6 trailer turned out to be good and made it clear how many players are waiting for the game.
