Investment firm Konvoy, known for backing platforms and technologies in gaming, has shared an internal forecast that paints a staggering picture of what’s to come with the launch of Grand Theft Auto VI. In a recent LinkedIn post, Konvoy’s Josh Chapman outlined the firm’s bold predictions, with analysts inside the company forecasting that GTA 6 could become the most lucrative entertainment launch in history.
“GTA VI: we predict that GTA VI will generate $7.6 BILLION in revenue in the first 60 Days of its launch (current release date: May 26, 2026). This will be the greatest video game release of all time; shattering player, viewership, and revenue records,” Konvoy’s team stated.
The firm estimates that Rockstar Games will sell 85 million units of GTA 6 within the first two months, pricing the game at around $80 per copy. On top of that, they expect Rockstar’s subscription service, GTA+, to see a major boost with the new release, further inflating revenue.
This projection isn’t without precedent. When Grand Theft Auto V launched in September 2013, it racked up $1 billion in sales within just three days, selling over 11 million copies in a single day. Since then, GTA V has gone on to become one of the best-selling games of all time, with more than 215 million copies sold as of 2025. Its long-term success was bolstered by GTA Online, which has become a dominant multiplayer platform with continuous updates and in-game monetization.
But Konvoy believes GTA 6 will go even further. The firm predicts that the game’s online component—likely a sequel or evolution of GTA Online—will support lobbies of up to 200 players and foster a massive user-generated content (UGC) ecosystem, possibly redefining multiplayer sandbox experiences.
While some of Konvoy’s expectations, such as GTA 6 being the "greatest video game release of all time," may seem inevitable given the franchise’s legacy and momentum, other projections—like the scale of online lobbies and the financial forecast—signal an unprecedented level of ambition and industry disruption.
Part of this optimism stems from the sheer scale of anticipation surrounding the title. GTA 6 trailers have already broken global viewership records, suggesting an even more engaged and expansive audience than during the lead-up to GTA V. Rockstar has also taken a more refined approach to marketing, fueling speculation and building hype across social platforms and gaming communities.
