GTA 6 smashes MrBeast YouTube record as reveal sets internet on fire Rockstar GamesThe long-anticipated GTA 6 trailer has shattered MrBeast\u2019s record for the most views on a non-music YouTube video in 24 hours. It has now been over a decade since Rockstar Games released GTA 5 and GTA Online. However, the wait for the next installment in the series has felt much longer than that. In early November, developers Rockstar Games confirmed reports and rumors that we\u2019d soon be seeing the first trailer for the game sometime in December. It was then revealed that \u2018Trailer 1\u2019 would be released on December 5, sending the world into madness \u2014 where even other game developers began to adopt an announcement style similar to Rockstar\u2019s. Unfortunately, Rockstar was left to scramble after the trailer leaked online earlier than planned. Still, the video has broken a YouTube record in a matter of hours. GTA 6 trailer breaks record for most views on a YouTube video in 24 hours After the GTA 6 trailer was leaked, Rockstar was quick to officially launch it themselves. \u201cOur trailer has leaked so please watch the real thing on YouTube,\u201d they wrote on Twitter\/X. Before being released, Grand Theft Auto fans expected the trailer to shatter the record for the most views on a non-music YouTube video in 24 hours, and dethrone YouTube\u2019s king MrBeast. It turns out they were right, where in less than 13 hours the trailer has smashed the previous record of 59.4 million views. The previous record, which was held by MrBeast, was broken by the YouTube star for several weeks consecutively before he set it at 59.4 million views with his \u2018$1 vs $100,000,000\u2019 video. Despite many acknowledging the YouTuber\u2019s wider demographic, amassing an enormous 216 million subscribers to date, they still predicted GTA 6\u2019s trailer would take the record from him. \u201cIt should shatter it. I could see it getting even double this,\u201d one wrote. \u201cIt\u2019ll probably crash YouTube not gonna lie,\u201d another predicted. \u201cBy a large margin. This is GTA were talking here,\u201d a third added. On the other hand, some claimed that while it would get tens of millions of views, they believed it wouldn\u2019t be enough to break the record. \u201cIt will definitely have tens of millions of views in 24 hours but I don\u2019t think it\u2019ll beat MrBeast. He has a wider demographic,\u201d one explained. MrBeast recognized that his record was broken, celebrating the moment in a post that has over 250k likes. \u201cThe GTA 6 trailer just broke our record for most views on YouTube in 24 hours,\u201d he wrote, adding a surprised face emoji. Rockstar themselves also acknowledged that they broke the YouTube star\u2019s record, quote reposting MrBeast\u2019s original post with a raising hands and love heart emoji. Nonetheless, the Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer is now on track to also beat the general record for the most-viewed YouTube video in its first 24 hours, currently held by South Korean boy band BTS.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
