The last 24 hours have been videogame carnage of the best sort. Rockstar had previously announced that the first trailer for GTA 6 would debut, ooh, about three hours from the time of writing. Instead a full trailer leak saw the studio decide to get out ahead of time and release the trailer early. Rockstar's developers may not have been happy about it: but the crowd went wild.
And how: "Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer 1" rapidly went to #1 on YouTube trending and, in just over half a day, has racked up an astonishing 60,858,000 views, and every time I refresh that number gets higher. This puts it on-track to unseat BTS's official music video for the song Dynamite, which in August 2020 managed an equally incredible 101 million views in 24 hours. Unfortunately the record-setting may end there though, thanks to the colossus that is Baby Shark at 13 billion lifetime views (my children feel responsible for about half-a-billion of those).
