Leave it up to Rockstar Games to go viral and start a new trend with an announcement of an announcement.
The recent confirmation that the first Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer will be released soon has ignited (even more) excitement across the internet, sparking a viral meme trend. This only affirms the unrelenting star power of the Grand Theft Auto series, the fifth-best-selling video game franchise in the world.
Rockstar Games' strategy for unveiling the much-anticipated GTA 6 teaser, set for December 5, has resonated beyond the usual confines of traditional game marketing, becoming a cultural phenomenon in its own right.
When Rockstar shared the simple yet evocative teaser image for GTA 6 on its social media platforms, the internet's response was to erupt in sheer joy. The poster, showcasing palm trees and a sunset in the iconic GTA style, immediately became a focal point for speculation and hype.
It even got to a point that people started talking about the peculiarly-placed trio of birds on the background.
In any case, the teaser image quickly amassed an astonishing 133.1 million views and 1.7 million likes on X (formerly known as Twitter), as of the time of the writing, signaling the immense anticipation surrounding the next GTA game.
