Rockstar Games' highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6) has made an explosive impact with its reveal trailer garnering over 101 million views in less than two days, significantly surpassing the viewer count of Grand Theft Auto 5's reveal over the past 12 years. The reveal, originally planned for December 5th, was unexpectedly released on December 4th due to an early leak. GTA 6's trailer, showcasing the game's return to the Miami-inspired Vice City and a larger fictional state of Leonida, has eclipsed competitors like Cyberpunk 2077 and Red Dead Redemption 2 in terms of initial trailer views.

The reveal not only sets a record for most-viewed video game trailer on YouTube in 24 hours but also for the most-viewed non-music video in the same timeframe. The trailer introduces dual protagonists Jason and Lucia, the latter quickly becoming a fan favorite. While a 2025 release date has been confirmed for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, the absence of a PC version announcement has disappointed many. Despite fans' immense excitement for GTA 6, the internet is already seeking information on GTA 7 even before the former's release. The leak of the trailer also caused frustration among Rockstar development team members and a flurry of content strikes against streamers who shared the leaked content.

What platforms will Grand Theft Auto 6 be released on?

Grand Theft Auto 6 is set to be released on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S in 2025, with no official announcement yet for a PC version.
