Rockstar Games's much-anticipated Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer has taken the internet by storm, garnering a whopping 121 million views on YouTube within just 48 hours of its release.
The trailer has not only captured the attention of gaming enthusiasts but has also set three Guinness World Records for the most viewed and liked video game reveal in history.
The trailer for the forthcoming installment in the iconic Grand Theft Auto series introduces players to Lucia, a dynamic female protagonist engaging in daring crime sprees across the vibrant backdrop of Vice City.
The narrative showcases a Bonnie-and-Clyde style dynamic as Lucia and her partner navigate bustling beaches, city highways, and clubs, painting a vivid picture of the immersive, story-driven open-world experience promised by Rockstar Games.
Grand Theft Auto VI is slated for release in 2025 and will be accessible on the next-generation gaming platforms, including PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and Series S.
This highly-anticipated release has sparked enthusiasm among fans eager to explore the reimagined Vice City and immerse themselves in Lucia's engaging and thrilling criminal escapades.
This achievement comes after repeated challenges faced by Rockstar Games and its parent company, Take-Two Interactive, in safeguarding unreleased content.
The gaming community recalls a significant breach in 2022 when hackers obtained and leaked undisclosed footage and gameplay videos of the upcoming GTA instalment.
In response, the company acknowledged the breach as a "network intrusion," demonstrating the complexities and risks involved in safeguarding highly-anticipated projects from unauthorised disclosures.
