Currently, the South Korean band BTS takes the first spot in having the most views in 24 hours on YouTube. The band has proven its might with their multiple songs holding a place amongst the most-viewed videos in 24 hours. Their ‘Butter’ attained a whopping 108 million in just a day, becoming the internet sensation for a global audience.
However, with the GTA6 trailer’s exponential growth, the idea of surpassing the record is not impossible. While this isn’t going to be an easy shot, the craze of the fans speaks volumes about its success. Moreover, the game has a lot to offer the fans, thus generating much hype amongst them on YouTube and other social media platforms.
GTA 6 trailer was leaked before it was officially released
The hype for GTA 6 among the fans has been such that its trailer was leaked even before Rockstar Games could bring it before the public. Rockstar Games was set to release the teaser on December 5 at 9 a.m. ET, but an ‘X’ user broke the shell after he posted the teaser on the platform.
His account now stands suspended after many fans got access to the clip. Soon after, Rockstar Games decided to release the official trailer before any other such incident happened. However, the leak did not hamper the growth in the viewership record of the video on YouTube.
The iconic GTA Vice City settings and the introduction of a female protagonist have already kept the gaming community excited for its release. With the fans going crazy over the trailer itself, it would be interesting to see what success the game gets once it is open to access by the fans.
