GTA 6: Citi calculates $900 million left for Rockstar's next games

Per BFM, Citi infers about $900 million of development spending for other projects from Take-Two's accounts: an analyst estimate, not an announcement.

After GTA 6, what? BFM details a calculation by the bank Citi that feeds speculation about Rockstar's future. It is an accounting inference that neither Rockstar nor Take-Two has confirmed.

Where does the $900 million figure come from?

It starts with an interview of Jennifer Kolbe, Rockstar's head of publishing, with Bloomberg. She denied a budget above one billion dollars and said the game cost less than the Burj Khalifa, or 1.5 billion. Citi then notes that Take-Two shows about $2.4 billion of capitalised development costs in its latest balance sheet. Subtract GTA 6's budget and about $900 million would remain for other projects, BFM explains. The bank considers it "not unreasonable" that new releases arrive between 2027 and 2028.

Does that money necessarily go to GTA Online 2 or RDR3?

No. BFM stresses these projects are not necessarily at Rockstar, since Take-Two also owns Borderlands, BioShock, Mafia and Civilization. It lists GTA Online 2, Red Dead Redemption 3 or a PC version of GTA 6 as possibilities, none announced. No PC version is announced to date, and Strauss Zelnick already spoke about online support in our November 9 article.

What do sales forecasts say?

BFM also reports that Bloomberg estimates the game could pass 40 million copies and more than $3 billion over its first four months. Again, these are projections. The price is set: see our price page.

Why it matters

Nothing for players in the short term. This is a reading of a balance sheet, not a roadmap: the only certainty, BFM writes, is that GTA 6 remains Rockstar's priority.
