Financial and gaming experts believe that GTA 6 will break the record set by its predecessor in the first days of its release.
GTA 6 does not have a release date yet but is already considered “one of the biggest entertainment launches in history.” Gaming experts speculate that Rockstar’s new game will make an absurd amount at launch.
DFC Intelligence data shows that GTA 6 will generate $1 billion just in pre-sales, surpassing its predecessor, which was released in 2013.
Yoshio Osaki, CEO of IDG Consulting, listed the game among “the greatest entertainment launches in history, not just in gaming, but across all media.”
Gaming expert Ciaran Lee told UNILAD that GTA 6’s sales will be driven by the success of Rockstar’s previous game, Red Dead Redemption 2, released in 2018.
“GTA 5 made $800 million on its first day and $1 billion in the first three days. Grand Theft Auto 5’s launch week was huge, and GTA 6 will be colossal,” predicts Lee.
GTA 6 still doesn’t have a release date, but it’s believed to be launching sometime in 2025, unless it faces further delays.
