Now, in the latest, Josh Chapman, the managing partner at Konvoy, has shared a LinkedIn post outlining several predictions about GTA 6, including the price it could retail at, how much revenue it could generate, and more.

Konvoy also predicted a whopping figure of $7.6 billion in total revenue within the first 60 days of launch.

GTA 6 predictions: Game price, big creator opportunities, UGC platform and more

Price: According to the report, the price of GTA 6 could be $80, which is notably higher than what you typically pay for a retail game on the PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X. Currently, games on these consoles cost $69.99 USD, so GTA 6, with an $80 price tag, would indeed be more expensive. Notably, if you think about it, games on platforms like the Nintendo Switch 2 are already $79.99, and this could slowly become the part and parcel of the video games industry.

Next UGC Platform: He also says that GTA 6 is going to be the next UGC platform. For those uninitiated, UGC stands for user-generated content, and he suggests it could bring in creative payouts for server hosts and mod creators.

Big Multiplayer Lobbies: Coming to the multiplayer aspect, he says that GTA 6 could feature 200-player lobbies, and there could be a higher risk-to-reward ratio when it comes to stealing and raiding from players, which could also be more easily done.

Huge Numbers Expected: Further, talking about numbers, the game could sell around 85 million copies within the first 60 days, and it could recover its $2 billion investment within the first 30 days. Of the $7.6 billion total estimated revenue in the first 60 days, a large chunk could also come from the GTA+ subscription.
