July 17, 2025 : As anticipation builds for the release of GTA 6, one investment firm is betting big — very big — on the game’s commercial success. Venture capital firm Konvoy, which specializes in gaming investments, predicts that Rockstar Games’ long-awaited open-world blockbuster will generate a staggering $7.6 billion in revenue within just two months of release.
The bold forecast was shared by Konvoy’s managing partner Josh Chapman via LinkedIn, outlining the firm’s belief that GTA 6 will not only recoup its estimated $2 billion development budget in under 30 days, but also become the largest video game launch in history.
Wild Prediction or Plausible Outlook?
Konvoy’s estimates are based on a few assumptions that have yet to be confirmed by GTA 6 publisher Take-Two Interactive. These include a projected retail price of $80 and the widely reported — but unofficial — $2 billion development and marketing cost, which would make it the most expensive video game ever created.
Still, industry experts aren’t dismissing Konvoy’s numbers as mere hype. Given that Rockstar’s previous title, GTA V, has sold over 215 million copies and generated more than $8 billion in lifetime revenue since its launch in 2013, expectations for its successor are nothing short of monumental.
“This could be the most important release in the history of gaming,” analysts have said, pointing to the immense legacy and market demand surrounding the franchise.
When Will GTA 6 Release?
Rockstar Games has so far released two trailers for GTA 6, offering cinematic glimpses into the game’s story, characters, and sprawling open world. While fans continue to await the first look at raw gameplay, Rockstar has confirmed that the game will launch on May 26, 2026.
As of now, platforms have not been officially confirmed, but industry insiders expect GTA 6 to launch first on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, with a PC version likely to follow later — a pattern Rockstar has followed with previous releases.
Billion-Dollar Stakes
With a legacy built on massive cultural impact, unparalleled open-world design, and near-flawless execution, GTA 6 has become more than just a game — it’s a financial juggernaut in waiting. If Konvoy’s predictions come close to reality, GTA 6 will break records not just in gaming, but across the entertainment industry.
For context, GTA V made $1 billion in just three days, setting a benchmark that no other entertainment product — film or video game — has surpassed. Konvoy believes GTA 6 will not just match that number, but multiply it sevenfold in two months.
With less than a year to go until its scheduled release, all eyes are on Rockstar Games as it prepares to unveil gameplay and pre-order details. Until then, the billion-dollar question remains: Can GTA 6 really live up to this hype?
