Which MrBeast video record did the GTA 6 trailer break?

MrBeast, a familiar face in setting YouTube records, holds the title of the individual with the highest number of subscribers on the platform. Notably, he recently achieved a new milestone by breaking the record for the most views within 24 hours, excluding music videos.

In August 2023, Jimmy uploaded a challenge video titled "Every Country On Earth Fights For $250,000!" The video garnered an impressive 59 million views within the first 24 hours of being uploaded. As of now, it has amassed over 148 million views.

Nevertheless, this specific record was eclipsed by GTA 6. To be fair, this outcome was somewhat anticipated, given the extensive discussions surrounding the game for several years, especially considering that the last edition had been released a decade ago.
