GTA 6 could sell 35 million copies by April 2027 📈
Research firm Piper Sandler has given Take-Two an "overweight" rating with a price target of $280, driven almost entirely by GTA 6 hype.
Here's what the report is projecting:
- 35 million units sold by April 2027, around a 30% attach rate on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S
- A third trailer, preorders, and the full marketing campaign are key near-term catalysts
- Post-launch growth expected from GTA Online, plus a second sales wave when it hits PC and next-gen platforms
- Twitch and live streaming could drive even more interest than GTA 5 ever had
For context, DFC Intelligence previously predicted 40 million sales in the first 12 months alone.
