It's hard to believe that the newly begun year 2025 is the one when or so the owner of Rockstar Games studio claims). This is definitely the most anticipated game of the next 12 months, if not in the entire history of the industry. So it's no wonder that analysts expect huge revenues, related to the incredible demand.

GTA VI will earn billion-dollar revenue
