Active development of the next part of the Grand Theft Auto series is in full swingTake-Two Interactive announced this when presenting its financial results. Neither the release date nor the date of a possible announcement, we did not know. But as it turned out later, the publisher offered a smaller clue.
Take-Two expects net income of more than $5.3 billion this fiscal year, up from $4.9 billion a year earlier. Interestingly, though, the company already expects net sales of over $8 billion in its next fiscal year, which starts in April 2024.
Where will he get almost another three billion dollars? He must provide them several innovative games that will set new standards in the industry. Take-Two also expects to maintain this momentum and drive further growth into fiscal 2026 and beyond. In other words, these games are designed to generate additional income.
The description of unannounced games that will set new standards in the industry is very similar to what Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick said in the case of Rockstar. He talked about it For the next GTA, Rockstar is determined to set the creative benchmark for the series, the industry, and the entire entertainment industry..
All this too consistent with speculation that Grand Theft Auto 6 will release this year and issue from 2024 to 2025. The specified fiscal year starts on 04/01/2024 and ends on 03/31/2025. The question remains whether Rockstar will be able to meet this deadline. This is a studio that often delays its names. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves.
GREAT SALES GTA 5
In the financial report, Take-Two Interactive also boasts updated sales figures for major Rockstar Games titles. Grand Theft Auto 5 as of September 2023, over 180 million units have been sold..
In the first three months of this year alone, 5 million units were sold. This is scary. Who else is buying this game? Either way, it’s no surprise that GTA 5 has been one of the top-selling games in the US for 10 years now, accounting for nearly half of the gangster series’ total sales. Over 400 million copies have been sold.
Take two too highlighted the success of GTA Online and the GTA+ subscription. But in this case, the company did not provide specific details. Instead, she showed that red dead redemption 2 over 53 million units have been sold. The entire series since the release of Red Dead Revolver in 2004 is at the level of 75 million units.
Last NBA 2K then he has 5 million units and the whole brand has 135 million. Comic shooter Borderlands 3 reached 27 million units.
