GTA Online Just Grew 50 Percent Thanks To A GTA 6 Trailer
Briefly

Grand Theft Auto Online has experienced a 50% increase in popularity over the last year, driven by new content, including the successful 'Money Fronts' Summer content pack and the excitement surrounding the Grand Theft Auto VI trailer. New player accounts grew substantially, reflecting rising engagement in the game's 12-year lifespan. Despite the delay of GTA VI, GTA V continues to remain a best-seller, suggesting strong ongoing interest. Rockstar's strategy of delaying the sequel may correlate with continued growth and player retention within GTA Online, elevating its status in the gaming landscape.
Engagement for Grand Theft Auto Online benefited from the record-setting launch of the Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer 2 and the successful release of the 'Money Fronts' Summer content pack, which culminated in higher than expected recurrent consumer spending growth.
New player accounts for GTA Online grew over 50 percent year-over-year, indicating a resurgence in interest despite a delay in the release of GTA VI.
GTA V remains a top seller, being the ninth best-selling game of the year in June, showing continued popularity even after more than a decade.
Rockstar's approach to delaying GTA VI could lead to further increases in GTA Online's popularity, potentially allowing it to double in engagement.
