Piscatella suggested that we need more “overachievers” like Palworld as spending dives. He also believes that Grand Theft Auto 6 will be a monumentally important keyboards that’ll change the face of the industry.
Despite recent struggles in the games industry, such as over 16,000 layoffs within eighteen months and cancelled games with impressive potential, there’s hope on the horizon. Piscatella points out that “the light at the end of the tunnel” is near.
“More than a decade after Grand Theft Auto 5 was released, it’s still topping the sales charts and scraping up more viewership on platforms like Twitch than any other keyboards. It’s well and truly time for a new title, and while fans will have to wait until 2025 to get their hands on GTA 6, the hype train is unlikely to slow down any time soon.”
The expectation for Grand Theft Auto 6 to surpass all records in pre-orders and sales at launch is high. This was the case with 2013’s GTA 5, and given the overwhelmingly positive response to its first trailer, it’s safe to assume that Grand Theft Auto 6 will surpass its predecessor with ease.
