Sixteen months after its explosive debut, the first Grand Theft Auto VI trailer continues to shatter records—recently surpassing 250 million YouTube views and 1 million comments. These staggering numbers prove the hype hasn’t dimmed, even as Rockstar Games remains silent about the game’s release date or new footage.
Why This Milestone Matters
The trailer’s enduring popularity highlights an unprecedented level of anticipation:
- Featured in YouTube’s 20th-anniversary recap alongside viral classics
- Still analyzed frame-by-frame by dedicated fans
- Now has its own YouTube category, suggesting official marketing is imminent
For context, most game trailers lose momentum after a few months. GTA 6’s staying power is a testament to Rockstar’s cultural impact.
What Fans Are Saying
The community’s reaction mixes pride and frustration:
- “250 million views and we still know nothing… Rockstar, please.”
- “I’ve watched this 50+ times. Give us the second trailer already!”
- “The fact it’s in YouTube’s history montage says everything.”
Even after a year and a half, fans dissect every detail—from Lucia’s heist outfit to Vice City’s neon skyline—hoping for hidden clues.
When Will We Get Real News?
Despite rumors of a November 2025 release, Rockstar’s silence has left everyone guessing. Key signs to watch:
- Take-Two’s earnings calls (next one: May 15)
- YouTube category updates (could signal marketing ramp-up)
- Industry leaks (Rockstar’s secrecy never lasts forever)
