This is reported by Insider Gaming, citing data from analysts Sensor Tower .
As of October 20, Rockstar Games has sold approximately 6.45 million pre-orders of the game, which has already brought in $630 million in revenue. The vast majority of buyers — 74% — chose the PlayStation 5 version. That's 4.8 million copies and $468 million in revenue. The Xbox Series accounts for 1.66 million copies and $162 million, respectively.
Analysts expect a new surge in sales on November 12, when pre-orders for the game begin. According to Newzoo, GTA VI could generate up to $5.2 billion in revenue in its first week alone. Piper Sandler previously estimated that total sales at the time of release would exceed 45 million copies.
The standard edition of GTA VI costs $79.99, the Ultimate Edition costs $99.99, and the premium collector's set with souvenirs without the game itself costs $399.99.
The industry and gamers are actively preparing for the event: competing studios are changing the release schedules of their own titles, and some gamers are planning to take vacations during the project's release period .
It was previously reported that Grand Theft Auto VI could arrive on Windows computers as early as the first quarter of 2027. This is a much faster release on PC compared to the studio's previous projects.
