GTA VI Could Net $4.5 Billion in First-Week Sales, Newzoo Forecasts
TL;DR
Newzoo predicts GTA VI will generate roughly $3.3–$5.2 billion in its launch week, with the most optimistic 'Proven Sequel' model targeting about $4.5 billion from around 51 million copies. Even the conservative model suggests multi‑billion-dollar first-week revenue. Pre-orders reached about $260 million in the first week, and PC releases may trigger a second sales wave after the timed console-exclusive launch.
