GTA 6 is set to make history with a projected $2 billion launch.

Rockstar Games’ upcoming release, Grand Theft Auto VI, is projected to generate a staggering $2 billion in revenue within its first 24 hours, more than double the $815 million GTA V earned on launch day in 2013.

According to estimates from venture capital firm Convoy, the highly anticipated sequel is expected to sell nearly 25 million copies on its first day, including more than 10 million pre-orders. With a rumored price tag of $80 — more than a standard AAA game — that premium cost is expected to make for a record-breaking debut.

Set for release on May 26, 2026, GTA 6 has already broken trailer viewership records and is dominating fan discussions. Conway also predicted that the game could hit 40 million units sold by the end of its first weekend and reach 85 million in its first 60 days.

In addition to initial sales, Rockstar is expected to generate billions more in revenue through microtransactions and the GTA+ subscription service. With players reportedly spending an average of $20 per month, total revenue could reach $7.66 billion in the first two months after launch.

While Rockstar has yet to confirm official pricing, and some analysts predict even higher sales figures, one thing is certain: GTA 6 is on track to become the most successful entertainment launch in history, surpassing not just games but all forms of media.

These early predictions indicate the huge hype surrounding GTA 6 and its potential to redefine benchmarks across the industry.
