Two Counting Methods
On Rockstar’s YouTube channel, the video now has over 17 million views. However, the two figures cannot be directly compared: on the one hand, the video is also uploaded on many unofficial channels on YouTube, which obscures the total view counts. On the other hand, views are measured differently on YouTube and Netflix. For its charts, Netflix divides the total hours watched by the runtime of a title; a household is only counted once for multiple views. YouTube, on the other hand, registers a view for every initiated playback.

Rockstar Games
)The premiere was preceded by a week full of leaks. Since August 18, an unknown person under the name “Cyberleek” has been releasing video clips from an unfinished version of the game. Rockstar has described the incidents as painful for the team in a statement.
Publisher Take-Two is taking legal action against the leaks: The company has filed four DMCA subpoena requests with a federal court in New York, targeting Discord, Microsoft, X, and Google. Take-Two is demanding data from Discord for all accounts that have communicated on three named servers since June 1. “GTA 6” will be released on November 19 for Playstation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. Rockstar has not yet announced a PC version.
