The Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer has made history, breaking three officially recognized Guinness World Records.
It’s been over a decade since the release of GTA 5, and only now are we getting a glimpse at the next game in the Grand Theft Auto franchise.
On December 4, the first trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6 was leaked. With the internet in madness, Rockstar then officially released it themselves ahead of schedule — although many of the game’s developers claimed they were “robbed” of the launch they deserved.
Still, the video broke YouTube records in a matter of hours, where the Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer quickly shattered the record for the most views on a non-music YouTube video in 24 hours — taking the title from the platform’s biggest creator MrBeast.

Nevertheless, Rockstar is certainly no stranger to setting records. Grand Theft Auto 5 set several records at its launch, becoming the fastest entertainment property to gross $1 billion.
While Grand Theft Auto 6 isn’t set for release until 2025, we can only guess that this title’s launch is going to be way bigger.
