GTA VI's release date has quietly been announced by Rockstar Games

The bigwigs behind Grand Theft Auto 6 might have just revealed when fans will be able to get their mitts on the new game.

They shared their projections for the coming years, projecting a massive fiscal boost for years 2025 and 2026.

The fiscal year for 2025 will begin in April of 2024... it's a weird finance thing.

"For the last several years, we have been preparing our business to release an incredibly robust pipeline of projects that we believe will take our company to even greater levels of success.

"In Fiscal 2025, we expect to enter this new era by launching several groundbreaking titles that we believe will set new standards in our industry and enable us to achieve over USD $8 billion in Net Bookings and over $1 billion in Adjusted Unrestricted Operating Cash Flow.

"We expect to sustain this momentum by delivering even higher levels of operating results in Fiscal 2026 and beyond."

However, it is unlikely any other game under their captaincy will do that sort of heavy lifting for them.

And this record-breaking number was achieved for them after the acquisition of game developer Zynga, which was responsible for previous heavy-hitter mobile games such as Farmville.

Before Take-Two's acquisition of Zynga, the company's regular annual net bookings were looking at around the ballpark of about $3 billion.

So, in order to hit that $8 billion target, Take-Two either needs to acquire a significant number of developers and titles, or it needs to double the number of games it has historically released.

Or, it needs to drop a game so utterly wanted by fans it would send profits sky-high.

And the only title it has on the bench that could dream of hitting such numbers is the next installment of Grand Theft Auto, seeing as the last installment dropped a decade ago in 2013.

But if the speculation is true, 2024 really isn't very far away so GTA fans may not have that long to wait after all!
