The executives of Take-Two Interactive commented in their report for the first quarter of their fiscal year 2025 on GTA 6 and the entire GTA series.
What is new regarding GTA 6 and the GTA series? In the new financial report from Take-Two Interactive, the successful GTA franchise plays an important role (via take2games.com). Here are the key insights:
- The release of GTA 6 is still planned for fall 2025.
- There is still no indication that GTA 6 could be released for PC as well.
- So far, more than 430 million units have been sold for all parts of the franchise.
- GTA 5 alone accounts for 200 million sold units. No other game has sold as much in the USA in the past ten years – in terms of units and dollar revenue.
The first trailer for GTA 6 already generated a huge hype:
What else does the report reveal? While other companies in the gaming industry have struggled in recent years, Take-Two is growing. In the past four years alone, the number of employees has increased from 4,301 to 9,639.
More exciting details:
- The “Red Dead Redemption” franchise has sold more than 91 million copies so far. 65 million units are attributed to the second part.
- Remedy is expected to continue reviving the iconic action series with remakes of Max Payne and Max Payne 2.
- In the future, Take-Two wants to leverage Zynga’s mobile expertise better and simultaneously release selected mobile titles for consoles and PC. Key games are to be supported with DLCs and season passes after launch. Virtual currencies like those in NBA 2K and GTA Online are to be expanded.
Who is Zynga? The American studio has established itself as one of the most successful mobile developers with the FarmVille series and many other titles. In 2022, Take-Two invested $12.7 million to acquire Zynga.
Civilization 7 accompanies GTA 6
What does Take-Two’s release schedule look like? A total of 40 games are currently in the developer pipeline. Among them are five remakes, ten mobile games, three indie projects, and 22 core games. The key releases:
- NBA 2K25 – Release on September 6, 2024
- WWE 2K25 – Release in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025
- Civilization 7 – Release in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025
- GTA 6 – Release in fall 2025
- Tales of the Shire: A The Lords of the Rings Game – Release in fiscal year 2025
- Judas – Release is still TBA
Due to the enormous success of the last GTA parts, GTA 6 is likely the most anticipated game currently in development. The immense interest is intensified by the scant information that Rockstar has released so far: Rockstar reveals little about GTA 6, a former developer says: “It’s better if they stay silent”
