Rockstar Games’ Grand Theft Auto VI trailer has officially surpassed 250 million views on YouTube—an incredible milestone that cements its place as the second most-watched video game trailer in history. But instead of celebrating, many fans are frustrated that this same trailer, released in December 2023, remains the only official glimpse of the game.
While Take-Two and Rockstar likely see this as a marketing triumph, the GTA 6 subreddit is divided. Some fans are nostalgic, reminiscing about watching early GTA V trailers with just a few hundred views. Others are impatient, demanding new information instead of revisiting old footage.
Why Fans Aren’t Celebrating
The record has sparked mixed reactions:
- “Why care about trailer stats when we just want new info?” – Many feel Rockstar is prioritizing hype over transparency.
- “Being a lifelong GTA fan is great… but the wait is painful.” – Some remain loyal but exhausted by the silence.
- “Subway Surfers has more views? That’s hilarious.” – Others find humor in the absurdity of the rankings.
The fact that a mobile game trailer (Subway Surfers) holds the #1 spot with 361 million views only adds to the irony.
When Will Rockstar Break the Silence?
With GTA 6 expected in Fall 2025, fans are desperate for:
- A second trailer (gameplay or story-focused)
- Official screenshots
- A confirmed release date
Rockstar’s silence suggests they’re sticking to their usual marketing strategy—keeping details under wraps until closer to launch. But with the first trailer still dominating YouTube, the pressure for new content is higher than ever.

Records vs. Realit
While 250 million views proves the insane hype for GTA 6, fans are tired of replaying the same trailer. Until Rockstar drops fresh footage, the wait continues—whether they like it or not.
