"I predict GTA 6 will at least replicate the success of its predecessor," says an industry expert, estimating sales to reach 38 million copies and generate over $3 billion in revenue within the first 12 months.

Alinea Analytics' Rhys Elliott adds that he "wouldn't be surprised to see around 30 million sold in the first week, building toward 50 million heading into 2027."
The potential for a "blow out sales scenario" could see sales in excess of 50 million units in year one, possibly closing in on 60 million, a figure described as "unparalleled" in the gaming industry.
With a current base of over 90 million PS5s, analysts believe that doubling this figure isn't a stretch for what is expected to be the most anticipated launch in the industry's history.
