GTA 6 Surpasses Minecraft to Become Second Most-Watched Video Game Trailer, Surprising Number 1 Still Out of Reach - IGN

GTA 6's trailer quickly overtook the likes of Red Dead Redemption 2 and Cyberpunk 2077 but has now overtaken Minecraft to become the second most-watched video game trailer of all time. The GTA 6 trailer is still far from the top spot though, which is held by a rather surprising title.

The GTA 6 trailer published on December 4, 2023 now has more than 168 million views, or 168,609,505 to be specific. Minecraft's trailer, which was published more than a decade before GTA 6's on December 6, 2011, has 167,800,171.

This puts GTA 6, which is set to launch on consoles in 2025, as the second most-watched video game trailer also above the likes of Clash of Clans, Team Fortress 2, and its own predecessor Grand Theft Auto 5.

But the GTA 6 trailer isn't even half way to overcoming the number one most-viewed game trailer, however. That record belongs to a 2012 mobile endless runner called Subway Surfers. "Dash as fast as you can! Dodge the oncoming trains! Help Jake, Tricky, and Fresh escape from the grumpy Inspector and his dog," reads its official synopsis.

Perhaps this shouldn't come as a surprise. Subway Surfers is one of the most-popular games of all time, with over four billion downloads. Subway Surfers was the fifth most-popular Android game as of August 2023 though, and its trailer's ranking is even more impressive. Published in 2012, the trailer has more than 361 million views. Perhaps by the time GTA 6 comes out at some point in 2025, its debut trailer will be number one

One of the earlier endless runner games. I believe that wayyy back, I DL'd the game and played a bit for a few weeks.
I'm sure bored kids probably download the game everyday.

I’m sure subway surfer is there because whenever you click the video of a game on the android app store it takes you to a YouTube video instead of playing in app. So picture hundreds of millions doing that and you get the highest viewed gaming video

It's a super successful mobile game. And like Rockstar they spend a lot in marketing (in this case using this video as paid ad).
