GTA 6 Could Launch Next Year, Earnings Report Suggests

thegamer.com:

GTA 6 is arguably the most highly-anticipated title currently in development at the moment, yet news surrounding when to expect the game to launch is extremely thin on the ground. Rockstar Games and Take-Two Interactive have been extremely careful not to hint at any potential release dates, but a new earnings report from the latter may have suggested a release window, as the publisher is expecting it's next fiscal year to be absolutely massive.

First shared by IGN, the publisher's latest yearly earnings report included projected earnings for the next couple of fiscal years, and they're much bigger than anything it's managed to produce recently. The report claims that in the fiscal year beginning in April 2024, Take-Two will be able to achieve "$8 billion in Net Bookings and over $1 billion in Adjusted Unrestricted Operating Cash Flow." That's a lot of money, yet Take-Two is also predicting that it will have "even higher levels of operating results" in the fiscal year after that as well.

As expected, Take-Two hasn't outright told us that GTA 6 will be the main contributor to these earnings, instead suggesting that it's a sign it's confident in its "incredibly robust pipeline of projects". However, $8 billion in net bookings in a single fiscal year is nothing to sniff at, and it suggests one of three possibilities - either Take-Two has multiple bangers it's going to release in 2024, it's going to make a few big acquisitions, or it has one absolutely massive game that's going to sell ridiculously well regardless of overall quality.

It would be difficult to imagine Take-Two hitting those kinds of numbers without something like GTA 6
