The eagerly anticipated arrival of GTA 6 is finally on the horizon, as marked by the official release of the game’s trailer yesterday. Interestingly, the unveiling occurred a day earlier than scheduled, possibly spurred by a leak on Monday.
Rockstar Games initiated the anticipation for the latest installment of the GTA series shortly after celebrating the tenth anniversary of GTA 5. Given the immense success of Grand Theft Auto 5, which ranks as the second-highest-grossing video game franchise with over 190 million copies sold, fans have been eagerly awaiting updates on the next chapter.
Projections indicate that the game is poised to generate $8 billion in revenue by fiscal year 2025. It underscores the substantial financial expectations associated with this highly anticipated release.
