- GTA 6 is expected to sell 85 million copies in just two months, generating $7.6 million in revenue, according to Konvoy.
- The game will cost $80 for the base version, with premium versions costing more.
- The development cost will come down to $2 billion, with break-even expected in just 30 days.
In over 50 years of video games, GTA 6 is said to be the biggest launch ever, as more expectations for Rockstar weigh with more than 10 years since the last mainline release.
The publisher has already confirmed a budget of well over $1 billion for the game with a release date of May 26, 2026. With a proper reveal, no other blockades out of the way, and the solidified release date, predictions for the title are already being made.
One investment firm thinks that GTA 6 is expected to make $7.6 billion in revenue in just 2 months of its release.
Why it matters: Most franchises, let alone video games, don’t even see the billion-dollar mark in the entirety of their existence. GTA 6 is expected to achieve that number and beyond in just a few days of its release, showcasing the hype for the title.
The managing partner of Konvoy, a video game investment firm, stated that GTA 6 has a budget of $2 billion, which is twice the record of the previous most expensive video game. Rockstar previously said that their development cost exceeded $1 billion, but they never specified the actual amount.
GTA 6 is also expected to be priced at $80, which is a relief for gamers, as most publishers expected a $100 price for them to have an excuse to raise game prices. More versions at a higher cost will be available, though.
The game is expected to reach break-even in just 30 days, with an additional $4.6 billion in revenue in the next 30 days. This suggests that GTA 6’s total revenue could exceed $10 billion in less than a year.
While pre-orders haven’t opened yet, the firm estimated 10 million sales in just pre-orders. Over 15 million sales are also expected on day one of its release, with more following soon. Overall, estimated sales reach a whopping 85 million.
Just for reference, Battlefield has sold almost 88 million copies in the 20+ years of its existence, spanning multiple entries. GTA 6 is said to conquer this achievement in just two months.
