GTA 6 Could Sell 40 Million Copies And Make $3 Billion In First Year Alone
According to a research company, Grand Theft Auto VI could bring in more than $3 billion in total revenues during the first 12 months after launch. A report from Financial Times cites data from DFC Intelligence that says GTA 6 could bring in $3.2 billion in its first year and that the game is likely to surpass $1 billion in preorder revenue alone.
David Cole of DFC Intelligence told GameSpot that the long-term success of GTA 5 could help GTA 6 get off to a faster start. Cole noted that GTA 5 actually saw its overall revenues increase in its seventh, eighth, and ninth years on the market, with annual revenue reaching more than $1 billion in the eighth and ninth years on the market.
For GTA 6, the $3.2 billion prediction includes physical and digital sales, along with online microtransactions. Cole said GTA 6 should exceed $1 billion via preorders alone, with GTA 6 potentially selling 40 million copies in its first year and 100 million by 2030. Cole also predicted new versions of GTA 6 will come to the next PlayStation and Xbox consoles, as well as PC, helping improve sales overall.
