GTA 6 to shatter records with $7.6 billion revenue in just 60 days? Here's what expert says
Moreover, the gaming venture capital firm Konvoy expects Rockstar Games' highly anticipated title to break industry records, potentially generating $7.6 billion in its first 60 days. This forecast has been made by Konvoy managing partner Josh Chapman (as reported by Insider Gaming).
The figure includes earnings from standard game sales as well as revenue from GTA+, Rockstar's premium in-game subscription service.
GTA 6 is poised to set new industry records
According to Konvoy, GTA 6 could sell up to 85 million copies within the first two months, and that is all because of the worldwide audience and fan base.
The firm describes the game's launch as potentially the 'biggest video game release ever,' forecasting the record-breaking numbers in sales, player engagement, and streaming viewership.
Part of this forecast assumes a higher retail price as compared to the earlier titles. While GTA 5 was launched at $59.99, Konvoy anticipates GTA 6 will be priced around $80, reflecting inflation and the increasing cost of game development. This analysis also hints at a possible rise in the multiplayer scale, with speculation that GTA 6 could feature online lobbies for up to 200 players.
According to the report, Take-Two Interactive, the parent company of Rockstar, may break even within 30 days after launch, given the anticipated $2 billion in development expenditures.
This would be a remarkable return on investment, demonstrating the Grand Theft Auto franchise's commercial strength.
GTA 6 release date update
The wait for Grand Theft Auto 6 has been prolonged, despite all the excitement. The official release date of the title has been rescheduled from earlier this year to May 26, 2026.
"Delays pain me—how could they not?" said Strauss Zelnick, CEO of Take-Two Interactive, in response to the delay.

Five Years Of Dil Bechara: Sanjana Sanghi Reflects On Her Journey As Kizie Basu
New Delhi: It's been five years since Sushant Singh Rajput's last film Dil Bechara hit the screens and left an indelible impact on hearts across the country. The movie, an adaptation of John Green's The Fault in Our Stars, marked Sanjana Sanghi's debut in a leading role. Remembering the character of Kizie Basu, a young girl who battled thyroid cancer, Sanjana said, 'My five years since Dil Bechara have been both incredibly rewarding and challenging. Since I don't belong to Mumbai, I've independently navigated a new world, trying to learn, grow, and evolve daily. I'm immensely grateful for every opportunity and have poured my all into them. The unwavering love from Kizie Basu's fans has been my constant support. While I've had to miss milestones with family back home in Delhi, I've been fortunate to build a cherished new family here in Mumbai.' Her chemistry with late co-star Sushant Singh Rajput, who played Manny, brought the story to life with equal parts joy, sorrow, and poignancy. Under Mukesh Chhabra's direction, Dil Bechara became more than just a film , it became a memory etched into Indian pop culture. For many, Dil Bechara remains a deeply emotional film, partly because of the untimely loss of Sushant Singh Rajput and partly due to the sincerity with which Sanjana portrayed Kizie's pain, hope, and spirit. It was a performance that felt personal, relatable, and real. As fans continue to revisit the film, it's clear that Dil Bechara wasn't just the beginning of Sanjana Sanghi's career — it was her emotional breakthrough. Five years on, Kizie Basu still lives in the hearts of audiences, and so does Sanjana's unforgettable performance. The film Dil Bechara was directed by Mukesh Chhabra and is an adaptation of John Green's popular novel The Fault in Our Stars. In the film, Sushant and Sanjana played terminally ill cancer patients. Unfortunately, it was Sushant Singh Rajput's last film and marked his posthumous appearance after his tragic death on June 14, 2020. The actor was found dead at his Bandra residence on June 14, 2020. His sudden death sent shock waves across his family, friends, and fans. The 34-year-old star, in a short span of time, earned the love of his followers, leaving behind a lasting memory. Actress Sanjana Sanghi made her acting debut as a child in the Ranbir Kapoor–Nargis Fakhri starrer Rockstar in 2011. Post that, she featured in supporting roles in popular films such as Hindi Medium and Fukrey Returns.
