GTA 6 delay could wipe out a stunning amount of money from the global game industry

Grand Theft Auto 6 on 2026 is a difficult news for the industry as a whole. A new report says that the game of the game for next year will wipe out an expected expenditure of 2.7 billion US dollars for 2025.

AMPERE Analysis said in a report that the delay in the game takes so much income that would have been derived from the global market of play and hardware sales. In a previous report by another research company, GTA 6 would sell 40 million copies and earn 3 billion US dollars in its first year alone.

Another earlier report says that Sony was expressly violated due to an expected increase in the game and console sales by the delay from GTA 6 to 2026. It was also theorized that Sony has a deal with rock star for GTA 6.

GTA 6 is delayed to 2026, creates a “vacuum” for other publishers to maximize the sales potential of their games during the 2025 vacation, said Ampere. The company added that Nintendo in this area is “better written down” with the start of the Switch 2 and its marquee games such as Mario Kart World.

As with the release date of the game, the income from GTA 6 is not canceled, but delayed. GTA 6 is expected to be a massive success if it is published. The game was partly delayed that Rockstar’s teams needed more time to polish the game and prepare it for the start.

Despite the delay of GTA 6, the AMPERE report said that the entire global video game industry would probably reach $ 201.3 billion in 2025, which would increase in 2024 in the amount of $ 199.4 billion. This is a growth of about 1%, but Ampere should thank an annual growth rate of 2.2%, some of which thanks to GTA 6.

AMPERE’s Piers Harding Rolls said that the lack of a new transformative technology in the video game industry or the updated monetary and sales models “search for growth pockets in order to build content more efficiently and at lower costs”.

As for Switch 2, it should be the “most important product introduction” of all time when playing, with Nintendo predicts that it will sell millions of systems and games. The system starts on June 5.
