It’s no secret that Grand Theft Auto 6 is one of the most hotly anticipated games of all time—but if one investment firm’s prediction holds true, it might not just be big…it could be historic.
Josh Chapman, a managing partner at Konvoy Ventures—a firm known for making bold, thesis-driven bets in gaming—recently shared some eye-popping projections for Rockstar’s upcoming blockbuster. In a post on LinkedIn, Chapman claimed that GTA 6 is on track to become the “largest gaming release of all time,” with sales that could hit a staggering $7.6 billion within just 60 days of launch.
Let that sink in.
If accurate, those numbers would blow past the records set by previous titles and establish GTA 6 as the reigning king of game launches. Chapman believes the game will sell so fast and generate so much revenue that it could recoup its development budget in under a month.
Of course, a few assumptions are baked into these figures. Chapman estimates that the standard edition of the game will retail for around $80, and he’s working off an unconfirmed development budget of $2 billion—a number that’s been widely speculated but never officially confirmed by Rockstar or Take-Two.
But Chapman doesn’t stop at the financials. He’s also predicting GTA 6 could usher in a new era of user-generated content (UGC), much like what we’ve seen with Roblox and Fortnite. He suggests Rockstar might introduce features like creator payouts for modders and server hosts, and even massive 200-player lobbies with high-stakes gameplay where players can raid and loot one another.
Admittedly, these ideas sound more speculative than confirmed—but they aren’t totally out of left field either. Rockstar has a long history of supporting mods and community-driven content, and the idea of pushing UGC further in GTA 6 wouldn’t be surprising.
For now, though, we’re still in the waiting game. GTA 6 is officially slated to hit PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S on May 26, 2026, following a recent delay (not that anyone was particularly shocked). Considering GTA 5 has sold a jaw-dropping 210 million copies since launching 12 years ago, it’s safe to assume that its successor is gearing up to be even bigger.
Whether or not it hits $7.6 billion in two months, one thing is clear: GTA 6 is going to make waves.
