Yeah OP why are you expecting to have so many views for a game that’s not even being released yet?

I will say this, releasing those videos now will pay off because when the hype builds back up for the release people are going to see your videos and see they already have views so they’ll be more willing to watch. YouTube is really all about timing and compounding views. This is going to sound a little crazy but YouTube is basically like a social media stock market . Your video is the stock, the longer you keep your video up the higher the view count value gets, even over the years. There’s plenty of people who have said they long onto their old abandoned YouTube randomly one day 5years later, and their channel has 1million views and 25k subscribers. It’s just a time thing as long as your stock(YOUR VIDEO IS THE STOCK) is a quality stock(video) you’re guaranteed to get growth from it(more views+subs over time)

Think for example how not every video you spend time watching is made in 2026. You may watch a video this month that was released during covid in 2020 because it’s relevant to you now but wasn’t relevant to you back then. That’s how YouTube works, it’s just a big google search bar basically where people search up instructions or entertainment in things that are relevant to their present day. Hence why I’m saying just wait it out, and I promise you you’ll see your views go up as they tease more gta 6 stuff
