GTA 6 Preorders Could Foot Much of Its Budget, Analyst Says

Sensor Tower estimates GTA 6 could reach about 25 million preorders by launch, potentially generating around $2 billion in revenue and helping cover development costs and much of marketing. Take-Two hasn’t disclosed a budget, but the game’s $100 Ultimate Edition is packed with items to drive higher spend, with preorders expected to surge in the final weeks before release. GTA 6 hits PS5 and Xbox Series X|S on November 19, and industry watchers expect it to be 2026’s biggest title, possibly receiving another boost from a new evolution of GTA Online.

GTA 6 Preorders Lean Heavily to the $100 Ultimate Edition, Sensor Tower Finds

Sensor Tower reports that 89% of GTA6 preorders are for the $100 Ultimate Edition rather than the $80 standard edition, with about 90% of Xbox buyers and 88.5% of PlayStation buyers choosing the premium SKU. Analysts say this unusually high premium share is driven by the added content and perks, and while it may soften as more casual players buy in, it should stay well above the industry norm.

The shift comes as OpenAI pivots toward enterprise and productivity, killed its video app Sora, started showing ads, and faces mixed sentiment amid a Pentagon deal and rival campaigns, while Anthropic grows its enterprise footprint.

AI-Driven Vibe Coding Floods the App Store, Testing Apple’s Review Timelines

AI-enabled 'vibe coding' has spurred a surge of iOS apps, with January US releases up 54.8% year-over-year and weekly submissions topping 200,000.

TikTok’s U.S. JV steadies as user engagement holds near prior levels

Despite initial fears of a mass user exodus after TikTok’s U.S. joint venture, U.S. user activity has remained largely stable, with daily active users around 95% of the pre-announcement period and average time spent near 80 minutes. A spike in uninstalls around the JV announcement appears temporary, suggesting no sustained boycott. While some concerns linger about data collection and potential algorithm changes under new ownership, there’s little evidence yet of a structural shift in user behavior.
