Finally, Rockstar Games has opened up about the release date of Grand Theft Auto VI. Unfortunately, Rockstar Games has dismissed all the hopes and speculations about the release date in the fall of 2025, as they revealed that GTA 6 is delayed and will now be released on May 26, 2026.
Amid this, a financial whirlwind is forming ahead of the highly anticipated release of GTA 6, the next instalment in Rockstar Games' iconic franchise.
Even though the game isn't scheduled to launch until May 26, 2026, experts and market watchers are already forecasting massive figures, predicting that GTA 6 could generate a jaw-dropping USD 1 billion in pre-orders before a single virtual bullet is fired.
According to an Indian Express report, market experts are predicting some jaw-dropping numbers. There is an estimate of a 60 per cent chance that GTA 6 will surpass the USD 1 billion mark in pre-orders.
Additionally, some estimates are even more positive, showing that it could generate USD 3.2 billion in revenue during its first year, possibly surpassing the USD 1 billion that GTA 6 earned within its first three days of release.
The excitement about GTA 6 is further fuelled by speculation about pricing, and experts anticipate a standard retail price of USD 90 or higher, while premium Collector's Editions could go for as much as USD 250.
With over 100 million next-generation consoles projected to be in households by 2025, the potential for sales is enormous.
The game is scheduled for just ahead of the holiday season; GTA 6 is riding a wave of cultural legacy, immense community excitement and Rockstar's track record for producing cinematic, high-quality games. If the game meets the hype, it could not only smash existing records but also reshape the future of the gaming industry.?
