Leaked Rockstar data from the ShinyHunters breach reveals GTA Online's average $1.3 million daily revenue over the past six months, driving a surge in parent company Take-Two Interactive's stock. CEO Strauss Zelnick confirmed ongoing support for the live-service game even after Grand Theft Auto 6's November 19 launch.
The data, published by ShinyHunters after Rockstar declined their ransom demand, underscores GTA Online's enduring profitability since its 2013 launch alongside Grand Theft Auto V. Microtransactions, particularly Shark Cards totaling around $5 billion in sales, drive much of this revenue.
Take-Two shares jumped from $195.12 last Friday to $205.10 by Tuesday, fueled by positive investor reactions to the decade-old game's sustained earnings amid hype for GTA 6, per reports from Eurogamer and VGC.
In a February earnings call, Zelnick emphasized continued investment: “I have every reason to believe we’ll continue to support GTA Online. There’s a great community that loves it, that stays engaged. And again in this quarter, Rockstar has shown that when you deliver great additional content, despite how long [GTA Online] has been at market, people show up.”
Rockstar has historically extended support across generations, maintaining PS4/Xbox One versions alongside next-gen updates through at least April 2026, signaling no end to GTA Online post-GTA 6.
