One such game in particular is gamers’ favorite GTA V. Released in 2013, this 8 year old game is still racking in tons of viewers for its chaotic gameplays.

But, you must be wondering why this 8 year old game is suddenly getting this massive viewership?

Well, it might be because of the pandemic forcing up to stay indoors and people reverting to video games for social interaction. It might also be because of the boom of GTA Online and tremendously popular streamers like xQcOW, Valkyrae, Sykkuno etc. showing interest in GTA Online RP servers. Whatever the case, I’m glad the game is getting all the attention it deserves.

GTA V has set this incredible record for the first time since its release and does not plan to stop this streak anytime soon. All in all, it’s just great content since we can watch people play video games and have fun in general.
