There are just a few months left before the arrival of GTA 6, but the Rockstar Games saga continues to accumulate record-breaking figures. According to the latest financial report from Take-Two Interactive, the Grand Theft Auto series has already surpassed $10 billion in global revenue since the release of GTA 5 in 2013.

The data comes from an analysis based on the official information published by the company. In just the last quarter, the franchise earned over $221 million, and although GTA 5 sales are slowly declining, it remains one of the best-selling and most played titles in history.

A legacy that paves the way for GTA 6

With this figure, Grand Theft Auto not only reaffirms its position as one of the most profitable IPs in the industry, but also arrives at its new installment with a historical weight that’s hard to match. Since 2013, the combination of GTA 5 sales and the continued success of GTA Online have been a fundamental pillar in Take-Two’s revenue.

In parallel, rumors and hints about the future of GTA Online with the arrival of GTA 6 are starting to emerge. Rockstar’s latest job offers suggest that the game could include advanced tools for content creators, an improved Photo Mode, and a more powerful version of the Rockstar Editor, highly appreciated by fans who create videos.

With a scheduled release for May 2026, GTA 6 not only has the challenge of matching its predecessor’s figures, but also of maintaining the interest of a community that has been living in Los Santos for over a decade and is eagerly awaiting the leap to the new generation of the saga.
