Grand Theft Auto 6 is projected to make an eye-watering $3 billion in its first year on sale. Rockstar’s hotly anticipated open-world crime caper is currently due out in fall 2025 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S, with no word on a PC release for now.
A new report by the Financial Times, based on analysis by video game research group DFC Intelligence, predicts GTA 6 will exceed $1 billion in pre-orders before it even launches. Surprisingly, no one expects GTA 6 to be the biggest entertainment launch of 2025, ahead of any movie or competing video game.
DFC predicted that total revenue from GTA 6’s first 12 months on sale will reach $3.2 billion. To put that into context, 2024’s highest-grossing movie, Inside Out 2, made just shy of $1.7 billion at the global box office. In 2013, it took Grand Theft Auto 5 just three days to surpass $1 billion in sales — the fastest to that figure in entertainment history.
Strauss Zelnick, boss of Rockstar parent company Take-Two, told the Financial Times: “I never claim victory before it occurs. That said, I think Rockstar Games will once again deliver something absolutely phenomenal… Certainly, the anticipation is high.”
