Rockstar Games’ yet-to-be-released sequel Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6) is already stirring industry-wide expectations. Venture capital firm Konvoy predicts the game could generate a record-breaking $7.6 billion in revenue within its first 60 days post-launch, which is expected on May 26, 2026.
Konvoy’s forecast hinges on several assumptions: a $2 billion development budget, a standard game price of $80, and breakthrough sales. They estimate 25 million units sold on day one, generating around $2 billion, then accelerating to 85 million copies sold by the end of two months, with additional earnings from GTA+ subscriptions and micro transactions.
The projections suggest GTA 6 will become the largest entertainment release in history, and not only in gaming but potentially surpassing the lifetime financial impact of blockbuster movies, consoles, and previous franchise benchmarks.
Independent analysts support similarly bullish figures. As early as launch pre-orders may exceed $1 billion, with total first-year revenue estimates reaching $3.2 billion, which doubles what GTA V achieved.
