Grand Theft Auto VI isn’t just another game launch – it’s poised to rewrite entertainment history. According to viral Reddit discussions citing industry analysts, Rockstar’s long-awaited sequel could rake in $7.6 billion within its first year. This would obliterate the $1 billion record set by GTA V in just 72 hours and potentially surpass Hollywood’s biggest blockbusters.

Why the Astronomical Prediction?

Three key factors fuel these expectations:

  1. Unmatched Hype: GTA VI’s trailer became YouTube’s most-viewed non-music video in 24 hours (93M views), proving unprecedented anticipation.
  2. Expanded Player Base: With 195M GTA V copies sold over 10 years, analysts note the franchise now reaches casual gamers, role-play communities, and even non-gamers drawn to its cultural impact.
  3. Live-Service Potential: GTA Online’s $1B annual revenue suggests VI’s multiplayer could become a perpetual money-maker through microtransactions and expansions.
