Will 2025 be a historic year for video games? Will Rockstar Games and GTA 6 dominate that year and make a mark in pop culture history? If all goes well, yes, as the game is expected to release in autumn 2025 and is predicted to break all records. According to an analysis firm, Rockstar's upcoming title could surpass $3.2 billion in its first year.
The anticipation for GTA 6 is immense. Last year, the first trailer broke three world records within 24 hours and has since amassed over 230 million views. It's been 12 years since the last Grand Theft Auto, GTA 5, was released, and fans are eagerly waiting for the next installment.
When it launched in 2013, GTA 5 shattered multiple records, becoming the fastest-selling video game with over $1 billion generated in just three days. After 11 years, it has reached total earnings of $10 billion, making it the highest-grossing entertainment product in history. According to Financial Times, GTA 6 is set to dominate in 2025, with preorders alone potentially bringing in $1 billion, and overall revenues could reach $3.2 billion, double that of GTA 5.
