“GTA 6 Poised to Smash $800M Launch Record as Preorders ‘Vastly’ Exceed Expectations, Says ” — what this page in the network covers. Grand Theft Auto 6 is set to launch on November 19 for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, and industry analysts expect it to obliterate entertainment sales records. The previous GTA title, 2013’s GTA 5, generated $800 million in its first 24 hours and $1 billion in three days, eventually selling over 230 million copies. Rockstar’s Red Dead Redemption II earned $725 million in its opening weekend, while Bethesda’s Fallout 4 shipped 12 million units on launch day for $750 million in sales.
GTA 6 has a higher price point at $80, compared to $60 for those earlier titles, which could amplify revenue even if unit sales are comparable. Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick has refused to disclose official preorder figures, calling raw numbers potentially misleading, but he said preorders “vastly” surpassed international expectations and that no one has seen demand like this before at Take-Two or in the industry.
