The GTA 6 trailer is already racking up a ridiculously high view count

Still a long way off from "Baby Shark."

With thousands already waiting for the trailer to drop, the GTA 6 teaser has been one of the most anticipated promos of this year, maybe of this whཧole generation. While it was unveiled a little earlier than planned, this has only made it possible for even more people to watch it many, many times.

At the time of writing, over 70 million people have seen the GTA 6 trailer over on . By comparison, “Baby Shark” has at the time of this writing, so GTA still has some way to go, but we’re only on day one so far. Oh, also, the has been viewed 98 million times, so it sounds like the new one could easily surpass it.

This number of people watching the trailer is going up at a pretty alarming rate, which is not entirely unsurprising. By now, many of you will have seen it, so you’ll have your own thoughts on the upcoming new entry in the Grand Theft Auto series.

Sadly, we don’t have a release date. All we know is that it’s coming in 2025. That still feels like a long way off, especially for a game that people have been waiting about a decade for.

Also, no PC release confirmed yet

Parent company also confirmed that GTA 6 will be coming to PS5 and Xbox Series. Nothing’s been said about a PC version. If we’re going off what happened with Grand Theft Auto 5, PC players might not get it for another year or so a🎶fter the console release.

The teaser itself wasn’t actually supposed to release when it did. Due to leaks on social media, Rockstar decided to show the trailer early.

GTA 6 has already been the subject of hacks and leaks, so the fact that someone was able to get the trailer up before the official release time is not that surprising. Still, it doesn’t seem to have harmed the Rockstar YouTube figures much. It could very well go down as the most watched video game trailer in history.
