GTA 6 poised for record-breaking launch with $5.2B revenue forecast

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Grand Theft Auto 6 is projected to have an unprecedented launch week, with analyst firm Newzoo forecasting revenues between $3.25 billion and $5.2 billion. This projection is based on significant preorder numbers and the massive success of its predecessor, GTA 5, which generated $1 billion in its first three days. Factors contributing to the higher forecast include an anticipated $80 price point for GTA 6 and the 13-year gap since the last installment, suggesting demand could far exceed that of GTA 5. AI
