GTA 6 Launch Projected to Cost US Economy $1 Billion

Original: GTA 6 to Drain $1B From US Economy With Take-Two Expected to Bank the Same Amount

Analysts estimate the launch of Grand Theft Auto 6 could drain roughly $1 billion from the US economy, as workers and consumers are expected to take time off and stay home to play. Take-Two Interactive, the game's publisher, is forecast to earn a comparable amount from sales, making the release as much an economic event as an entertainment one.

Why now: GTA 6 is one of the most anticipated entertainment releases ever, and projections of its massive economic impact are drawing widespread attention.
