The first week of digital predictions of Grand Theft Auto VI has generated an estimated value of approximately 180 million dollars in the US, UK, France, Italy, Germany and Spain markets. Newzoo’s analysis, based on the data of the most recent week of June, indicates that this is the stronger campaign opening ever recorded until today. Early sales began on June 25, 2026. Starting from a 69% base of the overall console players of Grand Theft Auto V on these six markets, Newzoo estimated a global initial value near $ 260 million, using the company's Game Performance Monitor data and models resulting from the historical trend of the already consolidated sequels. This scenario provides that the first week of preorders corresponds on average to 5.8% of cumulative revenues by the end of the launch week. By applying this curve to GTA 6, the central estimates indicate a potential turnover of 4.5 billion dollars and about 51 million copies, with an estimated average price of 88 dollars. In the United States, Take-Two Interactive has set official prices at $79.99 for the Standard Edition and $99.99 for the Ultimate Edition. Newzoo has developed a broad range of estimates, with cumulative global revenues that could vary between 3,25 and $5,2 billion by the end of the first week on the market. The most prudent scenario suggests that the exceptional start of preorders has anticipated a greater share of subsequent purchases, with a potential number of units sold around 37 million. Rockstar Games and Take-Two Interactive set the GTA 6 release at 19 November 2026 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. The pre-loading of digital versions will be available from November 12, while the physical packaging for the launch will also include a download code, initially concentrating the distribution on digital access. It is important to note that Newzoo figures are estimates based on proprietary data and historical models. Rockstar Games and Take-Two Interactive have not yet released specific details on the volumes or revenues of preorders. The actual results of GTA 6 will be measured only after the launch, comparing them with the overall data of the Grand Theft Auto series, which according to Take-Two exceeded the 470 million units distributed worldwide. Le stime di Newzoo, basate su un modello storico consolidato e con una base di riferimento significativa come GTA V, puntano a un debutto da quasi 260 milioni di dollari per Grand Theft Auto VI. Questo supera notevolmente l'apertura di campagna di preordini più forte registrata fino ad oggi, il che suggerisce un interesse consumer estremamente alto e una forte spinta iniziale per il titolo. L’applicazione della curva storica ai sequel di GTA – superando i 470 milioni di copie vendute in totale – indica un potenziale di successo a lungo termine che si traduce, almeno inizialmente, in un valore di mercato superiore alle aspettative più conservative. Il prezzo medio stimato di 88 dollari per copia, combinato con la forte base di utenti console esistente e il bonus Vintage Vice City Pack offerto durante i preordini, rafforza ulteriormente questa valutazione positiva, suggerendo che l'uscita sarà un trionfo commerciale per Rockstar Games e Take-Two Interactive.
