"While the market landscape has evolved, Rockstar's legacy of delivering groundbreaking experiences ensures that GTA 6 will leave a lasting mark," said Newzoo analyst Emmanuel Rosier, highlighting the expectation that GTA 6 will revolutionize gaming much like its predecessor. He noted the different launch timelines for the console generations, suggesting that GTA 6 is set to make an even bigger impact by releasing early in the PS5 and Xbox Series lifecycle.
"Rockstar's history of crafting genre-defining titles positions GTA 6 to set new industry standards. Yet, its challenge lies in navigating a gaming world increasingly dominated by live-service titles," Rosier added, emphasizing that GTA 6's success hinges on how well Rockstar integrates traditional gameplay with current trends.
Piers Harding-Rolls from Ampere Analysis raised concerns over the potential for a "fractured GTA userbase" due to ongoing support for GTA Online while launching GTA 6. This split could pose challenges, but also valuable opportunities for Rockstar to innovate.
According to a DFC Intelligence prediction, GTA 6 is expected to achieve first-year sales of 40 million copies, generating over $3 billion in revenue, setting the stage for it to be the largest entertainment release ever.
