Rockstar says Grand Theft Auto 6 will be ‘largest game launch in history’

Following the record-smashing success of Grand Theft Auto V, we are all expecting Grand Theft Auto 6 to sell well. The real question is, will it break all of the same records set by its predecessor? Rockstar seems to think so, as it confidently claims that GTA 6 will be the biggest video game launch of all time. 

Rockstar is preparing to release Grand Theft Auto 6 in May 2026. As part of that effort, they are getting the tools ready to collect user data for the latest version of GTA Online, data that will then be used to inform the decision makers signing off on post-launch content. As spotted by The GTA Base, Rockstar is hiring for a lead software engineer to aid in the set-up and scaling of this data platform for “what will be the largest game launch in history”.

While many analysts have discussed the expected level of success for GTA 6, Rockstar itself hasn't made its financial goals clear. However, the wording in this job listing makes it very clear – Rockstar is gunning for that #1 spot again. Previously, the success of GTA 5 caught Rockstar and the industry at large by surprise, now with the benefit of hindsight and planning, Rockstar will be looking to capture lightning in a bottle for a second time.

Grand Theft Auto 6 is due to release on May 26th 2026 for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles. A PC version of the game is expected to release roughly one year after the console versions.
