Rockstar Joins Douyin, First Video Urges Players to Preload *GTA6* Now
IT Home, November 12: Game developer RockstarGames joined Douyin today. Its verification information shows "ROCKSTAR INTERNATIONAL LIMITED," with the IP location listed as Shanghai.

Rockstar has now posted its first Douyin video, promoting GTA6, which launches on November 19. The video is a re-edit of the preload trailer released yesterday, adapted for vertical-screen viewing. The official account says Grand Theft Auto VI is now available for preload and calls on players to preload the game right away.


IT Home notes that joining Douyin is not Rockstar's first move into the Chinese market. As early as 2023, Rockstar opened a Bilibili account to promote series such as GTA and Red Dead Redemption. At the time, players seemed less interested in the video content and instead unanimously clamored for GTA6.
