Quite a few fans of Grand Theft Auto should start to worry whether their statistical life expectancy is sufficient for GTA 6. Now the publisher Take Two (owner of Rockstar Games) gives new hope: The company expected particularly high sales for the next financial year, which runs from April 2024 to March 2025.
Then go with me “groundbreaking games” more than 8 billion US dollars in sales can be achieved.
In the current financial year, the company achieved a new sales record of just under 5.3 billion US dollars. Another strong increase is hardly imaginable without GTA 6.
The game has been officially announced, but the developers themselves have not released any information about the content.
According to a leak, it is certain that Miami (Vice City) is the setting and that one of the two main characters is named Jason and the other is a woman of Latin American background named Lucia.
In addition to GTA 6, the next Civilization and a new Bioshock could drive sales up in the fiscal year mentioned. Both games are officially announced.
Strauss Zelnick, the boss of Take Two, said in an interview with the investors that for the presentation of GTA 6 – or whatever the game is called – he is not responsible, but the developer Rockstar Games.

Zelnick also commented on another topic: He reasonably expects that there will be so-called in the foreseeable future “mid-gen”-There will be versions of consoles. This means slightly more powerful versions, notably from Playstation 5 and Xbox Series X.
Corresponding rumors have been around for a long time, but so far no high-ranking industry representative has commented on the subject. However, Zelnick expects “not very big impact” on his own business.

This could simply be because the new devices require little or no adjustments on the part of the games, but simply support higher frame rates or resolutions – similar to the PS4 Pro or the Xbox One X.
