GTA 6 LIVE: Trailer record has just been beaten as fans await Rockstar's next update

GTA 6 trailer 2 record has just been beaten again

When it released in May 2025, GTA 6 trailer 2 achieved a remarkable record - it became the most viewed video within the first 24 hours after release of all time (excluding music videos), racking up a staggering 475m views across all platforms.

It was surpassed in March 2026 by a trailer for Spider-Man: Brand New Day which was viewed a whopping 719m times in its first 24 hours.

And now another Marvel movie has beaten GTA 6's previous record, dropping the upcoming game's second trailer down to third in this ranking.

Variety reports the recent trailer for Avengers: Doomsday has been viewed 503m times in its first 24 hours.

GTA 6 still holds the record for the most viewed video game trailer in its first 24 hours but has since been eclipsed when taking overall entertainment into account by those two Marvel movies.

Maybe GTA 6 trailer 3 could place it back on top...

GTA 6 price plans 'revealed'

There are claims on social media Take-Two Interactive may have revealed its gaming pricing plans now NBA 2K27 is available to pre-order. Both Rockstar Games and 2K are owned by Take-Two.

The standard edition of NBA 2K27 is priced at $69.99 with the standard edition of GTA 6 costing $79.99.

There was all sorts of speculation GTA 6 could be priced much higher than the industry standard of $70 and while it is at $80, there are claims Take-Two wants to keep $70 the norm for the rest of its portfolio by pricing NBA 2K27 at that price point.

However that is speculation and Take-Two has not officially confirmed this.

ICYMI: GTA 6 release date official update from Take-Two Interactive

Take-Two Interactive, Rockstar Games' parent company, has confirmed GTA 6 is still on course to release on 19 November as planned.

With pre-orders open, it seems likely GTA 6 would stay on course from here until its release and in a letter to shareholders, Take-Two has confirmed that is the case.

In the letter, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick said: "Fiscal year 2027 has the potential to be a major inflection point for our company, defined by groundbreaking entertainment experiences - led by the planned 19 November release of Grand Theft Auto VI - creative and operational excellence and record net bookings."

Take-Two is expecting an operating cash flow of more than $1bn in this Fiscal Year.

XBOX GTA Online 'leak' reveals crucial GTA 6 details

It seems XBOX may have revealed crucial details about GTA 6 and its expected upcoming online mode.

Shared by X / Twitter user @SynthPotato via @GlowDevs, a screenshot of GTA 6 on XBOX appears to show different add-ons for the game, including 'Extra', 'Ultimate Edition Upgrade', 'Vintage Vice City Pack' and 'Story'.

Under 'Story', it's described as an add-on and says: "Doesn't need to be installed."

This seems to hint the single-player portion of GTA 6 would not need to be installed to play the speculated online mode when it becomes available and vice versa, in other words the online portion would not need to be installed to play single-player.

Rockstar Games might even choose to do something similar to what it did with GTA Online and Red Dead Online, making the online portion of the game available to those who play the base game but also as a separate entity that can be purchased separately for those who want to play solely online and are not bothered about the campaign.

None of this has been officially confirmed by Rockstar Games at the time of writing.

Rockstar Games post

Rockstar Games has shared a post on social media - for a Red Dead Online update.

It said: "Know when to hold 'em and when to hold 'em up in this Red Dead Online Community-Inspired Outfit fit for a gambler or a gunslinger, created by Historical-Stock-303 of the r/reddeadfashion community.

"Claim the pieces of this outfit free from the Catalogue."
