'Grand Theft Auto VI' trailer views fail to beat BTS' 'Dynamite'; is online leak the reason?

The much-awaited trailer of Grand Theft Auto VI dropped yesterday but the views have left a lot to be desired. In fact, it has failed to beat the views that BTS’ song Dynamite garnered. So what exactly is the reason? The news that broke out was that the trailer was leaked before the world could see it officially. Rockstar Games released its first look for the sixth game of the cult-classic video game series Monday evening — roughly 15 hours before the planned Tuesday morning unveiling — while citing the leak. “Our trailer has leaked so please watch the real thing on YouTube,” Rockstar Games wrote on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, just after 6 p.m. ET Monday. Within just 12 hours, the video gained over 60 million views, surpassing expectations and competing with BTS’ Butter and Dynamite, which had over 100 million views. GTA 6 amassed over 90 million views in 24 hours whereas Dynamite had 101 million views. Opening up on the same, a fan wrote on X- “now imagine a song by BTS for GTA. huge numbers.”, while others commented “ask them to collaborate already”, “oh my go a collaboration will give god numbers”, “I need to hear Dynamite play on the radio in GTA6???”
