We are still more than a year old out of its release and yet GTA 6 continues to spray new records with each communication time it creates.
We knew it even before it was announced: GTA 6 risk of spray everything in its path. After a GTA 5 Set of more than 210 million copies around the world, to say that the next opus in the saga is extremely expected would be an understatement. The proof is that from the broadcast of his first trailer in December 2023, the title of Rockstar Games already broke records by integrating the top 10 of the most seen videos in the history of Youtube in the space of 24 hours. And it continues with The trailer 2which in turn establishes a new record.
GTA 6 still sprays a new record
And no, this time it is not a record confined to YouTube, but on the Internet in general. Because with a total of 475 million views accumulated on all platforms (youtube, social networks, websites, etc.), the GTA 6 trailer 2 has simply become the most seen video in history in the space of 24 hours. Yes, just that. He thus pulverized the previous records established by the trailers of Deadpool & Wolverine and 4 Fantasticwhich amounted to 365 and 200 million views respectively.
In terms of Youtube only, the trailer 2, on the other hand, recorded less significant performance than the first, with around 70 million views in the space of 24 hours against almost 93 million in 2023. But that does not detract from the exceptional performance achieved by GTA 6, which attracts the attention of the public much more than any other game. At a time when these lines are written, the video records more than 92 million views. So keeps increasing as the days go by.
A considerable impact on the industry
Proof of the impact of GTA 6 on the rest of the industry, the Hot Together song by The Pointer Sisters, heard in the Trailer 2, has also recorded a monumental leap of more than 182,000% of listening to Spotify in recent days. And when we see this, we immediately understand better why other publishers seek at all costs to avoid direct confrontation with Rockstar Games. This is in any case what Hideo Kojima recently confirmed, revealing that the release date of Death Stranding 2 had been modified because of GTA 6.
