Rockstar Games Unveils First Trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI, Setting 2025 Launch Expectations (GTA 6 Trailer)
Rockstar Games recently released the first trailer for “Grand Theft Auto VI” (GTA 6 Trailer) and gamers are full of excitement for its 2025 launch. However, the news disappointed investors hoping for the latest installment of the mega-popular franchise to arrive soon.
The reveal had an immediate impact on shares of the parent company, Take-Two Interactive Software (TTWO.O). Despite a stellar 50% rally in the stock throughout the year, there was a 7% dip in premarket trading on Tuesday.
The trailer itself features a duo that gives off serious “Bonnie and Clyde” vibes, tearing through a fictional take on Miami, Florida, dubbed “Vice City.” Originally scheduled for a Tuesday release, the trailer hit screens a day early due to a leak on social media.
GTA 6 Trailer (Grand Theft Auto VI):
Our analyst says the trailer follows a typical first-release formula, showcasing the setting, graphics, and gameplay hints. Still, the lack of a release date raises concerns about a possible delay to the 2025 holiday season.
Take-Two’s fiscal year runs from April to March, and any further delays could impact game sales, potentially extending into fiscal 2026. The HelloTopLists team optimistically suggests that a February/March 2025 release could align with Take-Two’s goal of around $8 billion in bookings. For fiscal year 2025, the increase will continue till 2026.
The trailer for “GTA 6” has garnered nearly 60 million views on YouTube within the first 10 hours of its release. The game is expected to be available on Sony’s PlayStation 5 and Microsoft’s Xbox Series X and S consoles. Unfortunately, details regarding the game’s launch on PC and PlayStation 4 are still under wraps, with no immediate response from Take-Two on the matter.
Given the previous game’s massive success, earning an impressive $7.68 billion since its 2013 release, experts predict “GTA VI” will be a huge hit. We’re eager to learn more details, such as the cost and the potential for an online multiplayer option in 2024. Get ready for an incredible gaming adventure!
