GTA 6: a new “benchmark of creativity” in entertainment, according to Take Two | Xbox One

The official announcement of GTA 6 took place last February, but while Take-Two and Rockstar Games have been careful not to communicate any release date, the game is still regularly talked about. This is the case today with remarks taken from the president of Take-Two.

GTA 6 intends to mark the entire entertainment industry once again

Today, there is no other video game license capable of achieving such sales figures. The GTA series remains a UFO in the landscape of video games, as evidenced by the milestone of 170 million copies of GTA 5 sold to date on three generations of different consoles. It’s still the fastest-grossing billion-dollar entertainment product today.

Strauss Zelnick, CEO of Talke-Two, took advantage of his company’s latest financial results to talk about his next big baby, which he knows is now the most anticipated video game in the world. Unsurprisingly, he announces his confidence in the development of the game and is full of praise for it, quite the contrary.

With development well underway on the next game in the Grand Theft Auto series, the Rockstar Games team is determined to once again set creative benchmarks for the series, our industry, and all entertainment, just like the label has done so with each of its major releases.

Without giving further details, Strauss Zelnick knows well the impact that this new episode can have on the entire industry. According to the indiscretions of journalist Jason Schreier, GTA 6 will offer to play a woman for the first time and should offer a map with a fictional version of Miami and its surroundings.

The release of GTA 6 still scheduled for 2024 according to financial analysts

To say that the next game is expected is an understatement. The release of Grand Theft Auto VI is not yet set in stone, but industry analysts believe it should take place around 2024/2025.

There are only a handful of games that can give Take-Two management the confidence to release guidance as strong as 14% annual growth up to 2018, an analyst at investment bank Jefferies says. in 2024. “We believe there is at least one Rockstar IP that will be released by fiscal year 2024,” he said. For its part, the investment bank Cowen estimated no less than 9 billion dollars in revenue according to the group’s growth forecasts, with “a probable launch of GTA 6 during the 2024 financial year”.

What is certain is that Take-Two plans to release 87 games in two years. No less than 38 mobile games (including the GTA trilogy), but also 24 games called “immersive core”, which include the NBA 2K, The Quarry, Red Dead Redemption and Grand Theft Auto franchises.
