According to reports, GTA 6 pre-orders have surpassed 6 million copies. With GTA 6 nearing its release, this title continues to take up a significant portion of video game industry news for itself

According to reports, GTA 6 pre-orders have crossed the 6 million mark.

Considering that we are on the verge of releasing the game GTA 6, this work still occupies a significant part of the news of the video game industry and every day new reports are published about the positive and negative events surrounding it. According to reports, the cost of marketing this work for Rockstar reached a significant figure of 150 million dollars, but the game has generated more than three times that amount so far.

Recently, a reliable data tracking system reported that pre-sales of GTA 6 crossed the 6 million mark. Achieving such a record, despite the fact that there is still more than a month left until the game's official release, has attracted the attention of fans. Now it seems that GTA 6 will become a huge phenomenon in the game industry; Because it hasn't been released yet, it's brought in more than half a billion dollars in revenue for Rockstar and its parent company, Take-Two Interactive. This record shows GTA 6's impressive commercial potential and explains why it can be so difficult for other big AAA games to compete with it.

According to data from Sensor Tower, GTA 6's pre-sale revenue on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles has reached a total of $600 million. Also, according to another report, it is said that 89% of the pre-purchases of the game are dedicated to the Ultimate Edition at a price of $100. In the meantime, PlayStation has made a major contribution to earning income from pre-sales. According to statistics, the PS5 version of the game has been pre-purchased 4.51 million times and has generated more than 441 million dollars in revenue, while Xbox consoles have sold about 153 million dollars with a 26% share of the total revenue; A number that will be equivalent to the pre-purchase of 1.57 million copies.

Many AAA games with multi-million dollar budgets don't achieve this kind of performance even after release. Therefore, this statistic, in addition to showing the wide acceptance of the audience before the release, also shows the great sales capacity of GTA 6 after the release. Of course, Rockstar has a difficult road ahead to meet the high expectations of fans. Various analysts predicted that GTA 6 could sell 25 million copies on the first day of release, and the total sales of its first two months would reach 85 million copies.

This open world game is expected to have a significant impact on the global economy. Some organizations in different countries even talked about taking employees off on the day of the game's release. On the other hand, the release of GTA 6 is predicted to generate more than a billion dollars in economic losses in the United States on the first day alone. According to these predictions and breaking records, GTA 6 can become one of the biggest releases in the history of the video game industry; However, its final sales volume and Rockstar's ability to meet expectations will be determined after release.

GTA 6 game will be released on 28 Aban (19 November) for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles.

The GTA game series has an adult age rating; Therefore, it is necessary for families to monitor the access of children and teenagers.
