The official GTA 6 trailer upload from Rockstar Games is sitting at over 110 million views at the time of writing, and it's set multiple new world records along the way. Guinness World Records has officially recognised three world records set by the GTA 6 trailer, covering its first 24 hours of availability, likes, and views outside of the video game sphere.
Having accrued 90,421,491 views within the first 24 hours it was uploaded to YouTube, the GTA 6 trailer now holds the world record for the "most viewed videogame reveal on YouTube in 24 hours". 8.9 million likes in that same timeframe also made it the "most liked videogame trailer on YouTube". Finally, the GTA 6 trailer became the most-viewed YouTube video within a 24-hour period that isn't related to music. BTS song Butter still holds the world record when music is included, but GTA 6 now takes the crown otherwise.
The trailer blew its competition to pieces, with the former record holder being Mr Beast, who accrued 59.4 million views inside 24 hours for his "Every Country On Earth Fights For $250,000" video. With the PS5 title not set to release until 2025, it's anyone's guess when the next trailer will be released. Though, it probably won't make quite the same splash as this first one. 10 years of waiting since PS3's GTA V has resulted in one of the planet's biggest-ever video gaming moments.
How many times have you watched the trailer now? Don't be embarrassed to share your total in the comments below.

Quel surprise. It’s going to be fantastic!

With records like this, got a feeling R* wants a 100 million more PS5s/SeriesXs in homes before it releases GTA6, so it can break more records.
Imagine if no else posted or reacted to it via YouTube, I reckon it would be at 150 million already.
2 views were mine!
I have to admit, I’ve watched it more than a few times. Even made me redownload GTA V.
What an honour.
It’s sad.. it could have been easily 350M views had that loser not leaked it.. still stoked either way.. can’t wait for the inevitable 2nd 3rd etc trailer! Hopefully they shadow drop that mf next time
I hope Sony are getting the marketing on this, and the rumoured PS5 Pro bundle. Would be a colossal win for Sony.
So, I really did not like GTA5. I found the characters to be really unlikeable. Loved GTA4 and of the little I’ve seen from GTA6, they’re already more enjoyable main characters to me.
I don't know if I should be impressed or saddened by this.
As someone else said on a different article about GTA6, I think I have just gotten too old for it. I feel like I lost brain cells watching the trailer.
Oh but it leaked a few hours earlier. Oh no! The poor devs will have to wash away the tears at the sound of 90m views valuing their work.
But, no. It leaked so it doesn't count anymore. It's all terrible. They will never recover. 😅
