In some new projections from analysts at DFC Intelligence, Rockstar is poised to rake in $3.2 billion from GTA 6 in its first year alone, with analysts forecasting over $1 billion in pre-order sales before the game has even hit the market. Yoshio Osaki, the CEO of IDG Consulting, called GTA 6 “one of the biggest entertainment launches in history, not just in games but for all media“.
Take-Two Interactive — the publisher of GTA 6 — CEO Strauss Zelnick, said “I think Rockstar Games will once against deliver something absolutely phenomenal“. The Financial Times quoted Zelnick, who addressed the huge expectations, where he added: “I never claim victory before it occurs… but the anticipation is high“.
