Grand Theft Auto Online is making around a million dollars a day for Take-Two Interactive, according to recently leaked information. The new reports also show how GTA Online compares to Red Dead Online, breaks down which gaming platform spends the most, and what percentage of players actually spend money on the game, with some interesting details.
There's no argument that GTA Online has been a massive success for Rockstar and Take-Two, even prior to this leak. Nonetheless, fans have been concerned about the fate of the online title with the release date of Grand Theft Auto 6 drawing closer every day. However, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick indicated that GTA Online isn't going anywhere during a recent earnings call, and it's likely that these numbers explain why.
GTA Online Is Making Tons of Money 12 Years After Its Launch
Following a hack of Rockstar Games, alleged internal data has been uploaded to the internet. There are a number of things that have been released, but chief among them is revenue details for GTA Online. While these numbers should be taken with a grain of salt, according to the information, between September 2025 and April 2026, GTA Online was averaging just under $10 million in revenue over the course of a week. The lowest this number ever dropped to was $4.7 million, with the most profitable week coming in at nearly $28 million. Overall, it's estimated that GTA Online is pulling in just under half a billion dollars for its parent companies every year.
The leak also shared some interesting details regarding what type of players are spending the most, and what platform is the most popular in general. PS5 gamers are spending the most by far, with an average of $4.4 million spent per week on microtransactions. The next-closest is Xbox Series X, at $1.8 million, while PS4 and Xbox One just narrowly miss $1 million each. Interestingly, PC falls at the very bottom of this list, averaging around $264,000 per week, despite the fact that the playerbase is around a quarter of the size of those on the PS5. Just under a million players are estimated to play on PC every week, whereas the PS5 pulls in about 3.4 million players on average.
