GTA 6 will earn a record breaking £5,000,000,000 in 60 days claims analyst
Rockstar's GTA 6 will break every record in the book for video game launches, according to new predictions from a financial firm. The launch of GTA 6 looks set to be the biggest gaming event of 2026, but it's much more than that. It'll almost certainly be the biggest entertainment launch in history, never mind just video games. GTA 5 has sold over 215 million copies since it released in 2013, making it the most successful traditional video game of all time, only behind the likes of Minecraft. While GTA 6 is obviously going to be massive, one gaming investment firm predicts that the pent up demand will see the game earning more in three months than most publishers make in a year. The prediction comes from Konvoy's Josh Chapman, a managing partner at the firm which invests 'in the platforms and technologies at the frontier of gaming'. In a LinkedIn post, Chapman claims GTA 6 will generate $7.6 billion (£5.7 billion) in revenue within its first 60 days of launch. 'This will be the greatest video game release of all time; shattering player, viewership, and revenue records,' he wrote. Along with sales for the game, this figure includes GTA+ subscriptions and in-app purchases. According to the firm, the latter alone will bring $680 million in revenue within 60 days.

Chapman goes onto claim publisher Take-Two will break even on its $2 billion (£1.5 billion) investment into GTA 6 within 30 days of release. The firm predicts GTA 6 will sell 85 million copies within 60 days. For context, GTA 5 surpassed this milestone in November 2017, over four years after it launched in September 2013. But then it had only been five years since GTA 4, while fans have been waiting 13 years for GTA 6. How much the game makes will also be affected by how much Rockstar charge for it, with many rumours that they want to charge $100/£100 for even the standard version. However, Konvoy predicts the standard version will cost $80 (likely £80), which will launch alongside more expensive premium editions. GTA 5 earned Rockstar $1 billion in sales revenue within just three days in 2013, so these predictions are not at all unreasonable. That doesn't mean Konvoy's predictions are correct but the idea that GTA 6 will be the biggest entertainment launch of all time seems guaranteed. Rockstar Games Social Club has come to an end today after 13 years, the main URL now redirects to the home viewing profiles, walls, photos, video viewing from users are gone, but could be part of new plans to introduce a new platform. — ben (@videotechuk_) July 15, 2025 Elsewhere, Rockstar is continuing to gear for up GTA 6's May launch. The studio has been hiring for various marketing roles and this week seems to have pulled the plug on the Rockstar Games Social Club. More Trending As highlighted by Rockstar Games insider Videotechuk, the website, which served as a hub where players could track in-game progress and access exclusive content, now redirects to the main Rockstar homepage. 'Rockstar Games Social Club has come to an end today after 13 years, the main URL now redirects to the homepage,' they wrote on X. 'Currently viewing profiles, walls, photos, video viewing from users are gone, but could be part of new plans to introduce a new platform.' 'Social Club was incredibly outdated with more cases of crews being hijacked, accounts being targeted easily,' they added. 'They're most likely finally working on a new platform ready for GTA 6.' What Rockstar will replace it with is unclear but it's another positive sign that the game is not expected to see any further delays. Email gamecentral@ leave a comment below, follow us on Twitter.

Why is Rockstar Games Social Club not working anymore?
Image via Rockstar Games. Rockstar Games Social Club is a DRM software for games like GTA, Red Dead, and many more. This also worked as a central hub of the online communities and services platform for Rockstar titles. This software also made sure that players are well aware about their in-game stats, achievements, leaderboards, Crew and multiplayer events, content sharing, and what not! However, it seems that the era of Rockstar Games Social Club comes to an end. Is Rockstar Games Social Club officially shut down? Frankly speaking, Rockstar Games Social Club was actually more than a DRM. Not only players could authenticate Rockstar titles with Social Club accounts, but they could also manage profiles, link other platforms, etc. With this platform, players could join various communities, Crews to play group missions, and multiplayer modes and events. Social Club featured community tools and content sharing options to get solutions to any in-game issues. Even this platform used to grant exclusive bonuses and rewards. It seems fans won't be able to use these perks anymore as Rockstar Games Social Club is probably defunct. There have been recent reports which suggest that Rockstar Games Social Club now redirects to the standard Rockstar Games homepage. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Live Update: The Strategy Uses By Successful Intraday Trader TradeWise Learn More Undo Not only that, core features of the platform like activity feeds, profile viewing. However, other features of the Social Club, like Crews, in-game progress, friends list and community, and many more can be accessed via the GTA Online website and standard Rockstar Games site. But still, there is no existence of the Rockstar Games Social Club, as of now. This was quite evident looking at the upcoming release of GTA 6. Social Club was obviously pretty useful but on the other hand, it was becoming old day by day. So, Rockstar would never incorporate a 17-year old software to its highly realistic upcoming title. That is why, Social Club's end might mark the addition of a completely new DRM-cum companion software for GTA 6 . This sudden extinction may seem unexpected, but the end of Rockstar Games Social Club was already hinted, two years ago. In late 2023, the official website of Rockstar Games removed all the references of Social Club. However, the features and aspects remained the same, but the wordings changed to 'Rockstar Games Platform.' So, it seems this is the final pin in the coffin of Rockstar Games Social Club.

GTA 6 launch hype grows after Travis Scott music video sparks new theory
Travis Scott's new music video has sparked fresh speculation about his possible involvement in Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6), Rockstar Games' upcoming blockbuster title. In his latest track 2000 Excursion, a specific visual has caught the attention of gamers and fans alike, a red Ferrari featuring a Florida-style licence plate that reads "GTA VI 6". GTA 6's neon-soaked Leonida map and new characters promise the series' biggest leap yet, launching in India on May 26, 2026.(Rockstar Games) The moment appears around the 3:55 mark in the video and has quickly gone viral across social media platforms. Given that GTA 6 is set in a fictional version of Florida, widely believed to be a reimagined Vice City, the inclusion of the plate has led to widespread theories that this could be a subtle teaser or Easter egg pointing to Travis Scott's involvement in the game. Mobile Finder: Vivo X200 FE launched in India While neither Rockstar Games nor the rapper has confirmed any official collaboration, the idea isn't far-fetched. Travis Scott has previously collaborated with other major gaming titles, most notably Fortnite, where he performed a virtual concert that was viewed by millions. Rockstar has also featured musicians prominently in past GTA titles. In GTA V, artists like Dr. Dre, Flying Lotus and others contributed music and hosted radio stations. The timing of the video release adds to the speculation. Rockstar has already confirmed that GTA 6 will be launching in 2026, and fans are expecting promotional campaigns to start appearing in the lead-up. Some believe that Travis Scott's video could be part of early marketing efforts, or at the very least, a coordinated nod to what's to come. This isn't the first time artists have been linked to GTA 6. Rapper T-Pain previously hinted at some involvement, and there have been persistent rumours that Drake might host an in-game radio station in the upcoming title. Given how important music and pop culture have become to the GTA universe, these collaborations would not be unexpected. For now, Rockstar remains silent, and Travis Scott has not commented on the speculation. Still, the short but suggestive visual in the music video has given fans another clue to dissect as the wait for GTA 6 continues. Whether it turns out to be a confirmed collaboration or just a clever reference, it has certainly reignited excitement around one of the most anticipated games of the decade.
