Rockstar Games tweet announcing the release of the first trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6 is now the most-liked gaming-related tweet of all time.
The post, which confirmed that the first Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer will arrive on December 5, received over 1.8 million likes in 24hrs.
The previous most-liked gaming-related tweet was also from Rockstar, its November 2023 tweet confirming that the first trailer for the next Grand Theft Auto game would be arriving in December.
Rockstar confirmed in February 2022 that active development for the next entry in the Grand Theft Auto series was “well underway”, but it didn’t provide any more details about the game.
