- The trailer of GTA 6 has broken many records, showing its influence in the industry.
- An analyst has claimed that it will be the most important launch in the gaming industry.
- He believes this release will lead to renewed interest in the industry.
GTA 6, one of the most anticipated games of all time, might be released in early 2025. Rockstar recently sped up the development by entering the final stretch, reducing the chances of a delay.
Nobody can question the title’s influence as its reveal became the second biggest game trailer. Not only will this release help Rockstar Games, but it is expected to lead a new age for the industry.
An analyst also claims that GTA 6 is the most important release in the gaming industry because of this influence.
Why it matters: GTA 6 will encourage many newcomers to buy consoles just to experience Rockstar Games’ latest entry, highlighting its stature in the entertainment business.
Mat Piscatella, a popular Circana analyst, spoke to GameIndustry.biz, mainly regarding the financial views of the gaming industry.
The industry is currently in turmoil, with layoffs left and right. While suggesting that the industry needs more games like Palworld, he discussed the implications of Rockstar Games’ next release.
We’re going to get a renewed batch of interest with GTA 6. There’s probably never been a more important thing to ever release in the industry.

The analyst’s claims are given validity by history alone. Each GTA release has been a major event for the gaming industry. GTA 5, in particular, was a massive release for the entertainment industry in general.
In the past, this IP received new entries and spin-offs frequently, but the decade-long wait for GTA 6 has only added to the excitement. With Rockstar Games aiming for perfection, there is good reason to look forward to 2025.
Rockstar Games’ ability to explore modern technologies also positions GTA 6 as the biggest title for current-generation gaming. Expected to feature ray-tracing, this release could finally deliver the technical leap that many have been waiting for.
The influence of Grand Theft Auto goes beyond gaming. This IP is a major part of modern pop culture, with voice actors like Ned Luke also stating that it will be worth the wait.
While it is unfortunate that Rockstar won’t be releasing the game on PC on day one, it will still break records. Analysts previously determined that the game would comfortably sell over 25 million copies, which doesn’t seem like a stretch given its predecessor’s popularity.
We agree with the sentiment that GTA 6 will be the industry’s most important launch. Based on brand value alone, any new entry is guaranteed to be a success. However, Rockstar Games is also known to impress in nearly every other area.
