Market Impact: Stock Price Plummets

What Makes GTA 6 Special?
Set in fictional Leonida, players control both Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos as they explore a modern reimagining of Vice City. This marks the series’ first dual-protagonist system featuring a playable female character in the main storyline.
GTA V remains the second-highest-selling video game ever with 220 million units sold, setting astronomical expectations for its successor.

CEO’s Confidence Despite Past Promises
Zelnick told IGN he’s “highly confident on the new date” and that GTA 6 won’t face another delay—though similar assurances preceded the May 2026 announcement. The CEO defended the decision, noting competitors who’ve rushed releases “did so at their peril,” suggesting quality trumps punctuality.
