GTA 6’s unbelievable sales data could signal $5 billion opening week amid ‘strongest pre-order campaign on record’

As GTA 6‘s release grows ever more imminent, we’re getting wind of just how much money it’s already made and how much it stands to earn yet, with analysts now predicting that GTA 6 could rake in over $4 billion in just its first week, setting by far the biggest earning record for any piece of media in human history.

That is according to Newzoo, whose new insights report claims GTA 6 already earned Rockstar and Take-Two over $180 million from pre-orders, and that’s just in the United States and the five biggest European markets (Germany, Spain, Italy, France, and the UK). Globally, this goes up to $260 million based on comparative GTA 5 numbers, though it could be a lot more.
