Netflix Games, the mobile gaming platform launched by Netflix in 2021, has been making waves with the inclusion of the “Grand Theft Auto Trilogy” in its lineup. As anticipation builds for the upcoming release of “Grand Theft Auto 6,” the century-old games from the Grand Theft Auto series have been dominating on Netflix Games, thanks to what is known as the “halo effect.”

The “Grand Theft Auto Trilogy,” consisting of three classic titles: “Grand Theft Auto III,” “Grand Theft Auto: Vice City,” and “Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas,” was released in 2021 and has been steadily gaining popularity on the Netflix platform.

Take Two Interactive, the parent company of Rockstar Games, the creator of the Grand Theft Auto series, has projected a revenue of over $7 billion for the coming year, fueled by the ongoing popularity of GTA.

The announcement of “Grand Theft Auto 6” for a 2025 release caused a drop in the publisher’s stock value. However, the sheer fact of the game’s announcement was a significant online event. The first trailer, released in December, broke records on YouTube for the most views for a non-music video.

Strauss Zelnik, CEO of Take Two Interactive, described the partnership between Rockstar and Netflix to introduce the “GTA Trilogy” to their platform as a “spectacular success.” The company is also considering bringing other games to the Netflix Games platform in the future.

With ambitious plans for the coming years, Take Two Interactive aims to achieve breakthrough results. The company expects its revenue for the 2025 fiscal year to exceed $7 billion.
