Abstract:
The data analysis agency Sensor Tower has a sales tracking tool that allows you to check how many copies of the game have been sold at any time. However, there are definitely not many games that can reach the numbers of "GTA6". According to the website, Rockstar's crime-themed sequel has recently generated more than $751 million in revenue from pre-orders alone.
This is obviously a huge sum of money. At the same time, there is a huge gap in pre-orders between the PS5 version and the Xbox Series X version. It is said that the PS5 version accounted for 74% of pre-release purchases. It seems that adjusting the visual style of the PS application does have an effect.
It is said that this new "GTA" has sold approximately 7.71 million copies so far. Of course, this is just the data given by a certain analysis agency. With only a few weeks left before the game's release, only Rockstar knows the true situation. However, it is entirely possible that these figures are true.
"GTA6" is a work that can represent a generation, and the studio that developed it has always been known for pushing the limits of contemporary technology. I can totally imagine it making billions of dollars before the end of 2026, and then like Give Him Love 5, bringing in hundreds of millions of dollars year after year.
Other manufacturers are reluctant to release games near it, of course there are reasons. Nintendo was a little bolder and scheduled "The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remastered" at a similar time. But even industry giants like Nintendo have no plans to actually compete head-on with Rockstar.
Afterwards, we can compare the returns from both games. This will also become a benchmark that can be used for comparison when "The Elder Scrolls 6" is finally released. In any case, "GTA6" has definitely raised the relevant record to a height that is difficult to break.
