Which MrBeast video did GTA VI surpass?
Surpassing a globally famous streamer is not easy, but the GTA VI trailer achieved it by surpassing the record set by MrBeast in August of this year during the Extreme Olympiad. On that occasion, the YouTuber's video reached 59.4 million views in 24 hours. 16 hours after its debut, the GTA video surpassed 70 million views, leaving a new mark in its wake.
At the time of writing this note, the first Grand Theft Auto VI trailer has 96 million views, so it's only a matter of time before it crosses the 100 million threshold and continues its path of success, surpassed only by music videos like the one from the BTS band, whose song Butter reached 108 million views in 24 hours.
