Translated with AI from the Russian original.
The release of Grand Theft Auto VI is approaching, and various analysts are sharing their forecasts regarding sales as well as the shares of publisher Take-Two. As part of market research, surveys are conducted, and recently the results of a survey conducted by Piper Sandler emerged.
Around 9,000 teenagers took part in the survey. According to the presented data, about 7 out of 10 respondents who own a PlayStation 5 (Sony) or Xbox Series X|S (Microsoft) console intend to buy Grand Theft Auto VI. More than half of those surveyed plan to purchase it at launch, while 15% plan to wait several months.
Piper Sandler analyst James Callahan noted the high potential for recurring revenue from GTA Online—many are interested in multiplayer:
About 90% of prospective GTA VI buyers stated that they plan to play the online mode, and 40% plan to make additional in-game purchases. According to the company's estimates, this indicates that in the initial phase, the share of paying users in the online mode will be approximately 44%.
Notably, Rockstar Games has not yet announced a prospective GTA VI Online and is marketing the new installment as a single-player game. However, players and market participants are already confident that a new or improved multiplayer mode will appear in some form.
The release of Grand Theft Auto VI is scheduled for November 19, 2026, on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles.
