Preorders GTA VI: 39 Millions of Copies and Record Costs – Market Analysis
It was December 17, 2013 when the last chapter of one of the most appreciated sagas by video gamers came out. From that date onwards, despite the great system created behind GTA V, the wait for a new chapter was so much. Rockstar Games then launched the first bomb, the 2025 will be the year of GTA VI and from here the dances opened. Announcements of games postponed, uncertainty about actual output and an undecided market on the most anticipated title. The 2025 of course was not the year of GTA VI but now we are, in 2026 we finally have a date of release or on November 19. The preorders opened on 25 June and have already reached 39 million copies for a total of almost 3 billion revenues. There are some things that we want to focus on and put the dots on why GTA VI is changing the video market, perhaps forever. GTA VI will not have physical support For collectors it is perhaps the worst news that can be given, especially for those who buy in two copies and have sealed it. Rockstar Games, a few days after the opening of preorders, announced the lack of physical support for GTA VI. The game will have a case but inside no disk, only a code to be able to redeem it. Here arises the first question of the user so I will pay a huge amount for a code? and the question is more than lawful. On the question of the price we arrive after, calmly, with a space dedicated to that theme. Let us now focus on the lack of the disk: what will result in the absence of physical support in the video world? This could be the beginning of a new era in which the games used could not exist because connected to one account, that of the first buyer. A market that therefore deals with a perennial dependence on its PSN or XBox or Steam account. The question of price For years, speculations were made about what would be the amount we would have to pay when GTA VI came out. The manufacturer said it had spent more than 2 billion so we expect an equally high cost? As we well know, the expectation is high but also on the price you do not joke and everyone expected a barn. The wait for the opening on June 25 was so much, every person wanted to know how much he should have cumed for GTA VI. Would it cost over 100€ as rumors say in recent months? The famous 90€ appeared on the list of FNAC France? A few days after the wait is over and open the preorders. The price for the basic version is like that of all other games for the new gen console or 81€. Will Rockstar's lack of record allow us to contain sales costs? We're probably lucky on this front. To which market are we sailing? With the release of GTA VI it is obvious that we are aiming towards new routes, aimed at a change that we ourselves are choosing. Obviously not everyone is happy with the intr direction VERDETTO: MISTO I 39 milioni di preordini e i quasi 3 miliardi di ricavi sono un dato sbalorditivo, senza dubbio. È un chiaro indicatore dell’enorme hype che circonda GTA VI e della sua potenziale capacità di rivoluzionare il mercato videoludico. La decisione di Rockstar Games di eliminare il supporto fisico, tuttavia, introduce una complessità significativa. L'idea di un ecosistema del gioco dipendente esclusivamente dagli account online solleva preoccupazioni legittime sulla sostenibilità a lungo termine dell’esperienza di gioco e sul potenziale valore residuo del gioco stesso per i collezionisti o per chi desidera acquistare copie usate. La dimensione della mappa, come rivelato da Game Informer, aggiunge un ulteriore elemento di interesse, suggerendo un livello di dettaglio ed interattività senza precedenti, anche se l’esatto impatto pratico di una mappa così vasta rimane da vedere. Il fatto che Lewis Hamilton sia disposto a "cancellare tutto" per giocare all'uscita di GTA VI, pur con la sua naturale esagerazione, sottolinea ulteriormente l'importanza culturale e l'attesa che questo titolo genera. Rimane da vedere se il prezzo finale sarà in linea con le aspettative (o con le speculazioni) ma la sua definizione dovrà tenere conto del costo enorme sostenuto da Rockstar Games per sviluppare questo nuovo capitolo.
