Sam Houser, co-founder of Rockstar Games, used the company's official X account to post a thread thanking fans for making the 25th anniversary of the studio possible.

"In 1998, Rockstar Games was founded with the idea that video games could become as essential to culture as any other form of entertainment, and we hope to have created games that you enjoy in our effort to be a part of that evolution," commented Sam Houser on X, the social network formerly known as Twitter.

Of course, what caught the most attention in the thread was the last post, where it was confirmed that the GTA VI trailer will arrive very soon. That brief text was enough to break a new record on Elon Musk's platform.

At this moment, the post already has over a million likes and has more than 119.8 million views on X. It's an impressive achievement, as it became the tweet related to gaming with the highest number of likes in the entire history of the social network within hours.
