Konvoy predicts Grand Theft Auto 6 will generate $7.6 billion in just 60 days, a figure critics consider unrealistic. Analyst Daniel Ahmad pointed out that this projection would require about 65% of PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S users to purchase the game. Historical data shows that Grand Theft Auto 5 achieved 32.5 million sales in its first three months, representing roughly 20% of its install base. There is some potential for GTA 6 to feature a user-generated content platform, collaborating with creators from Fortnite and Roblox. The game is slated for release on May 26, 2026.
Daniel Ahmad emphasized the unrealistic nature of Konvoy's $7.6 billion revenue projection for GTA 6, describing it as 'an aggressive forecast for the first 60 days.' He highlighted that achieving this revenue would require nearly 65% of PS5 and Xbox Series X|S users to purchase the game within that timeframe.
Ahmad referenced historical sales data, noting that GTA 5 sold 32.5 million copies in three months with an install base of about 166 million for Xbox 360 and PS3, approximately 20% of the user base. This context suggests that Konvoy's lofty expectations might not be achievable.
There is potential for GTA 6 to introduce a user-generated content platform that lets creators make their own game areas. Earlier discussions have indicated that Rockstar Games is engaging with creators from Fortnite and Roblox to develop custom experiences.
The release date for Grand Theft Auto 6 is set for May 26, 2026, on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
