GTA 5 is the cash cow that has Take Two has been successfully milking since 2013, but now it seems that the publisher is finally looking forward to the next instalment – and the milky river of money that comes with it – as early as next year.
The publisher may have tipped its hand on the GTA 6 release date front, with the game launching as early as April 2024, according to its FY2025 forecast that predicts a whole lot of money coming the publisher's way. As its resident golden goose, GTA 5 can only do so much, so it's very likely that the source of next fiscal year's cash is GTA 6.
Since its 2013 launch, GTA 5 has released on three generations of consoles, starting on the Xbox One and PS3, and getting a PS5 and Xbox Series X|S version last year. The title has amassed more revenue than any other form of media in history, coming in at over $6 billion (£4.2 billion) which was the last count in 2018, and over 175 million units sold worldwide as of February 2023 (via Statista).
