It remains to be seen how Take-Two will approach its Web3 investments going forward, knowing that the majority of the gaming industry, including Rockstar Games, isn't in favor of it. TTWO's acquisition of Zynga last year could make this easier and less experimental for them. Speaking of Take-Two, it appears that the company is becoming more open to exploring Web3 opportunities in the future. For all the speculation, Take-Two Interactive and Rockstar Games continue to remain mum about GTA 6's release date. No one's expecting GTA 6 to outsell GTA 5 anytime soon, if at all, but you can't blame Take-Two and Rockstar for wanting to avoid a Cyberpunk 2077 situation with arguably its biggest game of the current decade, if not ever.
In the same earnings report, Take-Two confirmed that GTA 5 has surpassed 175 million units sold, after selling another 5 million last quarter. Publisher and parent company of Rockstar Games, Take-Two Interactive has possibly hinted at the release window for the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6). Keep in mind that Grand Theft Auto 5 is a tough act to follow. Of course, it would be unreasonable to assume that GTA 6 will take 16 years to polish (it's believed that production on GTA 6 began in 2015) but 2-3 years of polishing might do the trick.
Most industry experts agree that polishing takes nearly just as long, if not longer, than the active development of a game. Rockstar could spend the next three years polishing GTA 6. This is in line with the recent rumors that Rockstar is already sitting on a complete build of GTA 6. It might also be that GTA 6 isn't in the earnings reports because it isn't in the cards until after FY2025. We've known about the publisher's massive release pipeline through FY2025 for a while and most assumed that GTA 6 was hiding in plain sight. So much seems to have gone wrong for the GTA publisher and things could be about to get worse judging from TTWO's most recent earnings report.īut, the silver lining here is that Take-Two might have clue'd us in on when GTA 6 might come out. Then, GTA 6 suffered a massive leak late last year, and finally, the company's main cash cow, Grand Theft Auto Online, became the victim of a dangerous online exploit that was only recently fixed.
GTA 5 set such a high bar for GTA 6 that Rockstar Games has spent a little over a decade trying to get it made.Ī few months later, Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition came out as a broken mess of a game. Two years ago, the company drew the ire of fans after pulling the original versions of Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, from Steam and other platforms. The past few years have been huge for Take-Two Interactive, but it hasn't always been for the better.
