Uncovering the Mystery Behind GTA 6’s Overdue Release – What’s Holding Rockstar Games Back?

GTA VI: towards a release in 2024-2025?

Rockstar Takes on the Challenge of a New Episode

GTA is such a powerful license that directing a new episode is a challenge beyond measure. Add to that the enormous ambitions of Rockstar, and you have a project that takes many years. The failure of a GTA is not an option, and it is all the more pressure for the hundreds of developers who work. But ambitions and demands are not the only reasons why one has been waiting for Grand Theft Auto VI for this long.

Financial Statements and Projections

To understand that there is no rush on the side of Rockstar and Take Two Interactive, you have to look in the financial statements as well as in the rearview mirror. Like the other publishers, T2 Interactive has unveiled its results for the past fiscal year. On the turnover side, everything is going well, with 4.9 billion euros entered the coffers. On the other hand, the editor saves a net loss of 1 billion, partly due to the integration of Zynga bought back 11 billion in 2022. It is in the projections, and more particularly on the side of the fiscal year 2024-2025 that one finds something very reminiscent of GTA.

The publisher indeed forecasts a turnover of 8 billion with “several revolutionary games”, which is extremely ambitious. And like one can’t imagine Take Two leaving on such bases without Rockstar being involved, rumors are rife. However, Strauss Zelnick, CEO of the publisher, be careful not to talk about GTA and sticks to “multiple games”. So let’s be careful, even if everything suggests that the new opus is not that far off.

GTA V is still a hit and offers time!

Anyway, there is no rush, because one game in particular continues to carry Rockstar and Take Two: Grand Theft Auto V. In the results published by the publisher, on learned that the title had passed the 180 mark millions copies sold, all versions and media combined. So the title is more than ever the second best-selling game in the world, and this is largely due to the Online mode. This last one is always supported by the developers with content and events but, at the same time, players continue to venture into Los Santos in the classic way or in RP modes.

The servers are always full, the mods work wonders, and the studio continues to enrich the experience. Besides, Take Two welcomes the successful launch of the GTA+ offer in 2022, the good health of GTA Online in its version stand-alone. And when one sees the longevity of GTA V, on better understand why Rockstar takes everything son time to create the game that will have the very heavy task of succeeding it. With these new figures, the license GTA passes the 400 mark millions copies sold far ahead of Red Dead Redemption II, which yet sold at 53 millions of units.
