Move over, creepers, there’s a new sheriff in town! The highly-anticipated trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI (aka GTA 6), the latest installment in the iconic open-world crime series from Rockstar Games, has officially ripped past Minecraft to become the second most-watched video game trailer of all time!
That’s right, since its release on December 4, 2023, the GTA 6 trailer has racked up a whopping 169 million views (and counting!), dethroning the beloved Minecraft trailer’s 12-year reign at 167.8 million views. But the crown for most-watched still belongs to the mobile runner game Subway Surfers, with a staggering 361 million views.
So, what’s got everyone so hyped about GTA 6? Well, for starters, it’s the first game in the series to feature a female protagonist, the badass inmate Lucia. Set in the neon-drenched Vice City, a fictionalized Miami, Florida, the trailer teases a thrilling story of heists, car chases, and escaping the cops – all rendered in stunning detail, a massive leap forward from the graphics of the 10-year-old GTA V.
The trailer’s soundtrack, Tom Petty’s “Love Is a Long Road,” perfectly captures the essence of GTA: a mix of adrenaline-pumping action, dark humor, and social commentary. And of course, there’s all the open-world goodness fans have come to expect, with a vast, vibrant city just begging to be explored and exploited.
