GTA 6 Projected To Make History With $3 Billion Revenue In First Year

Expert Verified By

$1 Billion Will Come From Pre-Orders Alone!

Story Highlight
  • Analysts expect GTA 6 to set new records, reaching $3.2 billion in revenue during the first 12 months.
  • A third of this revenue is expected to come from pre-order sales alone.
  • This success would eclipse GTA 5’s record, which made $1 billion in three days.

There is little doubt that GTA 6 will be gaming’s biggest release when it releases next year. As 2025 draws nearer, Take-Two and Rockstar Games have unprecedented expectations to meet, and analysts believe new records will be shattered immediately after the title arrives.

As per a new projection, the game will make a whopping $3 billion in the first 12 months alone.

Why it matters: GTA 5 previously made a new record in the gaming industry by making $1 billion within the first three days of its release. GTA 6 seems set to eclipse this record by a huge margin.

GTA 6 Is Being Considered A Major Event For The Entire Entertainment Business

As reported by the Financial Times, GTA 6 will be a major deal for all of entertainment, just like its predecessor. Analysis from DFC Intelligence suggests that the title will reach $1 billion in revenue through pre-orders alone.

This could make it the fastest-selling game of all time. Moreover, analysts expect this Grand Theft Auto entry to finish strong in the first twelve months, raking in a total of $3.2 billion in revenue.

Interestingly, another analyst previously predicted similar launch revenue for the title, estimating 25 million sales at release. Elsewhere, Strauss Zelnick continues to build excitement for the title, promising “something absolutely phenomenal.”

The executive has made similar comments in the past, alluding to extraordinary things from Rockstar Games.

With such lofty expectations, GTA 6 has big shoes to fill. However, the series’ track record inspires confidence, promising new levels of success for Rockstar Games. This success will only be amplified by the next interaction of GTA Online if it can live up to the online experience popularized by GTA 5.
