How we counted
We searched TikTok, Instagram and YouTube for public posts about Grand Theft Auto VI made between 9 Sep 2026 and 9 Oct 2026: clips, reactions, edits, reviews and reposts. Each candidate post was read (caption, spoken words and on-screen text) and kept only if it was really about Grand Theft Auto VI.
Owned views are on Grand Theft Auto VI’s own accounts. Earned views are on everyone else’s posts: fans, creators and media. View counts are what each platform showed publicly on 14 Oct 2026; they keep growing after that date. Where a number could not be measured we say so rather than count it as zero.
