Since then, the studio has posted another teaser for GTA VI, featuring an exact date and time for the announcement trailer (Tuesday the 5th of December at 9AM ET). This has now become the most-liked gaming Tweet of all time, seeing over 1.9 million likes as of the time of writing.

Additionally, the same announcement was shared to a variety of platforms, with the Instagram photo seeing more than 5.6 million likes and a Facebook post amassing over half a million reactions so far.

Since its release a decade ago, GTA V has become the second best-selling game of all time with over 190 million copies sold. It is therefore unsurprising to see just how wide-reaching interest is for the long-awaited GTA VI. It’ll be interesting to see how many views the trailer ends up getting in its first 24 hours.
