GTA 6 Pre-Orders Tap $260M Global Opening, Newzoo Forecasts Soaring Week-One Sales

Newzoo estimates GTA 6 generated about $260 million in digital pre-orders globally during the opening week, with roughly $180 million from the US and five major European markets (UK, France, Spain, Germany, Italy). The digital-only release is priced at $79.99 for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Newzoo projects launch-week sales of roughly $4.5 billion, about 51 million units at the average price, though they note these aren’t a $1 billion pre-order milestone and that pre-orders represent around 5.8% of total launch sales.

GTA 6 Preorders May Shatter Records With 51 Million Week-One Copies

Newzoo projects GTA 6 could move about 51 million units in its launch week and generate roughly $4.5 billion in week-one revenue, based on early digital pre-orders and a global market extrapolation. The firm frames three possible pre-order curves and suggests GTA 6 most closely aligns with a “Proven Sequel” pattern, though outcomes could range from about $3.25 billion to $5.2 billion. If realized, the opening would set a new record and outpace many forecasts, underscoring the game’s unprecedented pent-up demand.

"Final Fantasy 16: Massive 3 Million Launch Sales Worldwide"

Final Fantasy 16 has sold over 3 million copies during its launch week on PlayStation 5, making it the top overall seller. However, physical sales in the UK were significantly lower than its predecessor, Final Fantasy 15. The game's sales numbers should be considered in the context of being exclusive to the PS5, unlike previous titles. Square Enix has not announced a PC version release date yet. IGN's review praised the game's departure from traditional gameplay mechanics and highlighted its strong story, characters, and world-building.
