Since Rockstar released the first trailer for GTA 6 two years ago, the world has been in a state of heightened excitement in anticipation of one of the most anticipated games in the history of the industry, and today the trailer has reached a new milestone that reflects the enormity of its impact, having exceeded 269 million views on YouTube to become, according to recent reports, the most viewed trailer ever without any sponsored ads.
This achievement is remarkable considering that there are global promotional clips that surpassed it in terms of numbers, but they relied on paid ads to increase views, while Rockstar chose not to activate ads on the show, and yet it achieved a huge success that reveals the size of the global anticipation for the game.
The premiere was the spark that launched the controversy and created the wave of expectations and established the impression that Rockstar is preparing to launch a huge game that will reshape the gaming world, and with the accumulation of delays, the latest of which is the latest postponement, the audience stuck to watching the show again and again, especially since it provides a strong look at the world of Vice City in its modern version.
The second trailer is no less successful, as it is currently approaching 150 million views, reflecting the continued interest in the game despite its expected release date at the end of 2026. With almost a year left until launch, fans continue to wait for a third trailer and possibly the first gameplay appearance, while the first trailer remains a material that is rewatched millions of times every week, waiting for the day when GTA 6 reaches the hands of gamers.
