Shares of video game publisher Take-Two Interactive, which owns the Rockstar Games studio, fell 4% (to $151 per share) after the trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA VI) was leaked. In this respect reports CNBC broadcast.
The GTA VI trailer was originally planned to be released on the evening of December 5. However, a few hours before the appointed time, the clip was published on X (Twitter) by a user under the pseudonym Gta6trailerleak. Shortly after, Rockstar Games itself uploaded the trailer to YouTube and Gta6trailerak’s profile was blocked.
Despite the slight decline in Take-Two Interactive’s share price, the release of GTA VI will likely offset this step back and impact the company’s revenue growth, CNBC writes.
GTA V, the previous game in the series, was one of the best-selling video games in history. According to CNBC, GTA V has sold more than 190 million copies. Only Minecraft, which has sold 300 million copies worldwide, stands in its way.
The release of GTA VI is planned for 2025. The game will be released on Xbox Series X and S as well as PlayStation 5.
