Analysts anticipate Grand Theft Auto VI will achieve unprecedented commercial success, projecting earnings exceeding $7.6 billion within two months of launch.

Investment group Konvoy shared insights via a LinkedIn analysis, with Managing Partner Josh Chapman noting Take-Two Interactive could recover its $2 billion production budget within a month. Forecasts suggest the title will dominate sales charts and streaming platforms, potentially becoming the fastest-selling entertainment product ever released.

While pre-release hype positions GTA VI to eclipse previous media milestones, one financial benchmark appears secure: development expenses may remain the highest in the franchise’s history. Industry observers suggest subsequent entries could leverage AI-driven production to reduce costs, according to emerging industry trends.

The open-world sequel arrives May 26, 2026, for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S platforms.
