7 days until GTA 6 🎮

While we wait, here are some GTA V thumbnails that performed really well for a 4M subs client lately.

6 videos. 3.5M+ views 📈

I’ve still got a few spots open for GTA VI creators ahead of launch 👀

Call Me Kevin (3.66M) has trusted me with his thumbnails for over 5 years.

These 9 videos alone have 35M+ views combined.

Consistency is key. Crazy to see how far we've come.

1M views and 3.2x outlier on this recent GTA thumbnail made for a client!

Great hook + right title + thumbnail that sells it instantly = strong packaging.

Just getting started for GTA 6 ⏳

@tawshique777 thanks man

One of the best things you can do for your thumbnails is find a pattern that works and build on it.

That’s exactly what we did here — same visual style, different concepts.

The results kept validating the approach.

@defaultedx Amazing work!

Roblox thumbnails 🧙

We got 9.4M views on this thumbnail, and I think what surprises people is that it’s not exactly “beautiful.”

A lot of people confuse good design with good thumbnail strategy.

This one worked because the packaging was perfect. You can understand the idea in 2s, and the thumbnail feels like a real in-game moment.

If you focus only on aesthetics, you might be leaving a lot of views on the table.
