A trailer date was finally given for GTA 6, which game lovers have been waiting for 10 years, and we started to wait for that date. After the trailer leaked, Rockstar Games decided to ignore the plan and release the trailer directly. GTA 6, which has become a hysteria, has already earned the right to enter the Guinness Book of Records.
When Rockstar officially released the trailer, the trailer was already available on 2 major gaming channels on YouTube, which had a negative impact on GTA 6’s viewing numbers on the official channel. Nevertheless, GTA 6 became the game with the title of “the most watched game announcement of all time”. The success of the trailer was announced on the official X account of Guinness World Records.
Record despite 20 million “uncounted views”
“It hasn’t even been 24 hours yet, but we can confirm that the GTA VI trailer is already the most viewed video game trailer on YouTube in 24 hours…”
So far, the most viewed video on YouTube in 24 hours has been the song Butter by Korean band BTS. Despite all the fame of GTA VI, Butter broke the record by being watched 108.1 million times in 24 hours. On the other hand, it is known that in addition to the 94 million views Rockstar received on the first day, it also received 20 million views only on IG and GameSpot channels.
YouTube pays between $2 and $10 for every 1000 views. This payment is decided based on various factors, such as the regions where the videos are watched. If Rockstar had shared the trailer to generate revenue from YouTube, it would have generated at least 174 thousand dollars in revenue in the first 24 hours.
