The first time that players 'experience' GTA 6 isn't when they boot up the game, but when they see that first screenshot, or that logo, or the trailer. This isn't how Grand Theft Auto 6 was meant to be shown to the world. But it's one thing to leak the existence of a game, and quite another to share actual material and videos related to it. Some of my peers in the media argue that this is all just an advert, and that bemoaning leaks is just doing the marketing department's job for them. The trailer dropped late in the evening for those in Europe, so most of those fans won't have seen it until the morning It was a disappointing start to a significant week for the video games business when it comes to new game announcements. And the media was forced to hastily reschedule their planned coverage as they rushed to share the news with their readers. The trailer dropped late in the evening for those in Europe, so most of those fans won't have seen it until the morning. But this isn't what was supposed to happen. Rockstar was forced to react and put the video out officially, and the reception to the 90-second trailer has been very positive. After last year's disappointing hack that exposed 90 work-in-progress gameplay videos, the highly anticipated trailer, which was due to debut later today, found its way onto the internet 14 hours early. This week is less about angering social media, and more to do with another leak around the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto 6. Hell, they can't even port Red Dead Redemption to other platforms without evoking the wrath of the internet. For a developer that's only put out two original games in the past ten years, they sure have had plenty of fires to put out. The Rockstar PR team must be wondering if they will ever catch a break. Rockstar acknowledged the intrusion, Take-Two's lawyers set about issuing takedown notices, and said this was 'early development footage' and the studio would 'properly introduce you to this next game when it's ready'.Sign up for the GI Daily here to get the biggest news straight to your inbox We've known GTA was underway for years thanks to oblique references on earnings calls and the usual internet detail dumps of questionable veracity: but the doors really got blown off last year when a huge amount of in-development footage was leaked by a hacker. It certainly cements GTA 6's status as the most-anticipated game around, though it's also at least partly down to how well Rockstar has dealt with the leaks and rumours in the runup to the game's announcement.

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). 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. 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.
