The Grand Theft Auto VI trailer release broke the internet last week and YouTube has seemingly exposed some of the favorite moments from fans.
Even if you haven’t heard of Grand Theft Auto outside of your favorite cop shows, you are aware of how the internet essentially exploded following the release of the highly anticipated trailer last week.
The video, shared on the Rockstar Games YouTube page, has so far tallied up over 140 million views in under 7 days. Check it out:

While many social media influencers and gamers have studied the trailer for every single tiny detail, YouTube’s most replayed moment feature has highlighted what some fans have got their eye on.
Admittedly, the trailer has multiple moments that the video platform has dubbed 'most replayed moment' but one in particular has left some X users in stitches.
One of the big improvements from GTA 5 - which was released a decade ago - is certainly how realistic all the models look, and one scantily clad woman in particular drew the eyes of fans at the 35 second mark.
Sharing this on X, the Dexerto Twitter page exposed all the fans who wanted to catch a glimpse of her and her confident pose. The post has been viewed more than 3.4 million times since been shared on December 10.
One X user joked: “10-year-olds after having their sexual awakening to the GTA trailer.
While some were understandably concerned with the comment, others remarked about their own experiences after seeing women from previous GTA games.
Another defended the trailer moment’s popularity by saying: “The physics movement made it look that good.”
“Who would've ever known, sexy video game characters are popular,” said another.
“I thought it would be the twerking on top of the car not gonna lie,” another user commented.
“Honestly prob due to the debate on if that is the main character or not,” an X user wrote in reference to the questions surrounding whether the woman shown in prison earlier in the trailer, Lucia, is the same woman in the bathing suit.
Whatever the reason, the massive impression the trailer alone has made has some people expecting the game, set for a 2025 release, to bring in the big bucks.
Gaming expert Ciaran Lee told UNILAD: “The GTA series is a cultural phenomenon and its loyal fans have had to wait 10 years for a new instalment.
“GTA 5 made $800 million in its first day and $1 billion in its first three days. Grand Theft Auto 5 launch week was huge, and GTA 6 will be colossal. I predict that it will be one of the biggest openings for an entertainment title and could do $1 billion to $1.5 billion in sales within 24 hours,”
Let’s just hope the game can live up to the incredible hype behind it... though we'll have to wait another year to find out.
