The prediction comes from DFC Intelligence via a Financial Times report, that predicted that even the pre-orders for the game are expected to cross $1 billion in earnings. Total revenue within the first 12 months of the release is expected to be around $3.2 billion. CEO of IDG Consulting, Yoshio Osaki, called GTA 6 to be “one of the biggest entertainment launches in history, not just in games but for all media”.

CEO of Take-Two Interactive, Straus Zelnick recently asked fans to put their faith in Rockstar Games. He also claimed that GTA 6 will exceed everyone’s expectations, but fans will have to wait and devs do their things. With current predictions from top industry analysts and reassurance from Zelnick, it’s safe to say it will truly be the biggest launch.

The entire 2024 was just rumours, speculations and waiting for the new GTA 6 trailer. Sadly, the long-awaited trailer did not come. There was a lot of hype regarding a new trailer during the Holiday season, thanks to Rockstar Games further teasing fans.

When the fateful day came, there was no trailer. Fans were as usual disappointed but expected something like this. However, this did create even more hype for the game, as GTA 6 Trailer 2 is not the longest-awaited trailer since the last two releases. Given the current anticipation, the prediction is looking very likely to turn real.
