The GTA 6 release trailer went live on October 15, garnering over 51 million views on Rockstar Games' official YouTube channel within four days. This has already surpassed the approximately 34 million cumulative views that the GTA V release trailer has accumulated over the past 13 years.
These figures only account for the two corresponding videos on Rockstar Games' official channel and do not include views from reuploads, edits, or other platforms. Therefore, they reflect the performance gap between the two games' release trailers on the same official channel.
The GTA 6 release trailer was unveiled a full month before the game's launch, with the release date set for November 19. Some players have already planned time off or adjusted their personal schedules in anticipation of the game's release.
The 51 million views reflect the current reach and level of attention the trailer has received, but they cannot be directly equated to game sales, actual player base size, or the quality of the final product.
