The Grand Theft Auto franchise fans have waited years to see the next mainline installment released. Since 2013, fans have been stuck in Los Santos with Grand Theft Auto V and its online counterpart. But that will change next year. After several leaks, Rockstar Games revealed the announcement trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI last month. It was our first look at the return of Vice City.

So that means endlessly watching the only official trailer for the game. However, you’re not alone here as we’re discovering the game trailer has hit some new impressive numbers. Today, thanks to a report from IGN, we found that Grand Theft Auto VI has become the most-viewed video game trailer ever released. That is some massive numbers in a timespan of about a month.
The Grand Theft Auto VI trailer came out in early December, and millions quickly viewed it. However, now it seems the announcement trailer for the game has surpassed over 168,000,000 views.
