Everyone on X/Twitter was talking about GTA after Rockstar Games released the first-ever highly anticipated trailer of GTA 6. The trailer had to be released early due to a leak, but it didn’t hinder its popularity, as the trailer on YouTube broke the record for most views in 24 hours, previously held by MrBeast.

It was revealed in the recent trailer that GTA 6 will be coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S, and Xbox Series X in 2025. A PC release date wasn’t announced. Note that GTA 5 was also launched on consoles first, in September 2013, and was then later released on PC after two years in August 2015.
