GTA 6 Pre-Order Surge Signals Multi-Billion Launch Week
Newzoo data shows GTA 6 generated about $180 million in digital pre-orders in the US and five major European markets in the final week of June, translating to roughly $260 million in opening-week global pre-orders. Depending on the curve GTA 6 follows, the game could book between $3.25 billion and $5.2 billion in week-one revenue, with a base-case around $4.5 billion (about 51 million units at an $88 average selling price) on a Proven Sequel curve. Even the more conservative front-loaded scenarios imply a multi-billion-dollar launch week; the piece also notes that claims of a $1 billion pre-order figure are unfounded.
