Ubisoft is not afraid of the upcoming "GTA6" in 2025. Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot believes that when a masterpiece like "GTA6" is released, it can allow players to regain their enthusiasm for the game. And more players will be interested not only in "GTA6", but also in other games.
Yves Guillemot said at Ubisoft's latest financial report conference: "What we have seen in the past is that every time a masterpiece like "GTA6" is released, more and more players will return, which also helps the sales of other games."
He said that Ubisoft does not know when "GTA6" will be released in 2025, but he believes that the release time may be closer to fiscal year 2025 (April 1, 2025 to March 31, 2026), rather than fiscal year 2024 (April 1, 2024 to March 31, 2025).
Overall, Guillemot believes that the launch of "GTA6" is actually good for the market and good for Ubisoft. "GTA6" will attract players who have not played games for a long time. Some players will try other games after playing this game, and Ubisoft will benefit from this. For example, Ubisoft launched "Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag" one month after the release of "Give Him Love 5", and its sales exceeded 11 million copies.
