GTA 6 Will Be a Key Event for the Gaming Industry, Analyst Confident

Mat Piscatella, an expert at Circana, called the release of GTA 6 the most important event for the video game industry. He believes that the release of the project will have an unprecedented impact on the market, especially in combination with the launch of a new console from Nintendo, also expected in 2025.

According to the analyst, such a large-scale coincidence of events promises to be a unique phenomenon in the history of the industry. At the same time, he admits that players may be offered other significant projects, such as Helldivers 2 this year, but no game will compare to the effect that the release of GTA 6 will have.



Piscatella notes that the further development of the gaming industry in 2025 will largely depend on the official release dates for both GTA 6 and the new Switch 2 console. He expects that their simultaneous launch will cause significant market growth, while the implementation of only one of these projects will complicate the forecast of the situation.



Thus, 2025 promises to be a turning point for the gaming industry, where large-scale projects from Rockstar and Nintendo will play a central role.
